5* out of 5* Excellent! especially if you need the range., February 4, 2009
We bought this early (before the babies arrive) to test it out and we are not disappointed. We are using it right now to monitor an ailing relative who needs near constant monitoring and the nature of the set up is she is in a separate home on the property. So the monitor and sound are working perfectly at a range of about 275 ft between two homes. The handheld device can also be hooked up to your tv which puts the picture large and very convenient. You have the option of having sound, picture or both which is a nice feature. I give this high marks and cannot wait to use it to monitor the babies when they arrive.

I bought this to replace an earlier model Summer video baby monitor and just love it. Since we have two floors, it is nice to have a monitor in our bedroom and a handheld that I can cart around with me. Everything works well, and it is so nice to see my child no matter where I am in the house. The video quality is good, not superior, and gives me what I need. If you are expecting television quality picture (especially those HD viewers out there)you won't be thrilled. Overall, I am very pleased and wouldn't be without this product.
5* out of 5* Best monitor we've purchased., February 21, 2009
We buy video baby monitors of this type every couple of years, as we have a handicapped daughter with multiple medical issues and this is a good way to monitor her throughout the day as well as at night when we are not in her room. The large LCD display is across our bedroom and we can still see her very clearly. The portable is very handy since it has the rechargeable battery that lasts very long. Yes, sometimes there is a little static but it is very easy to get rid of by moving the monitor slightly. It does not seem to be bothered by the computer, phone, etc. I am hoping this one will last a bit longer than the others, however we have it on 24 hours a day so it does take a beating...

3* out of 5* Decent product with surprising limitations, February 13, 2009
This system has good range and acceptable audio/video signals. The surprising thing about it is the limitations it has for a $300 system...
I have more than one child and wanted to purchase a second camera so I can switch between channels and view each child, here is the response given by their customer service: "There is not a second camera option for that system. It has two channel selection to minimize interference". This seems very short sighted to me unless their expected demographic is only for people with one child, especially for the cost of this system.
Another oddity is the use of NiCad batteries in the portable monitor, Nicads have well documented memory effect issues if you don't allow them to completely discharge before recharging them, this is another inconvenience that I am not sure why they chose this instead of NIMH or LI-Ion batteries.
I suppose I can live with the battery issue but the camera issue is making me consider returning this product for another that will fit my needs.
