5* out of 5* Best in baby video monitors currently available., August 5, 2008 By Haley's Mom
I recently purchased this video monitor for use in our home,..... I am happy with my purchase. I believe this monitor was a good choice, although it's not perfect. Here's my review:
1. PICTURE. This monitor has by far the best picture of any baby video monitors I have seen. That being said, it is NOT "high-def" to the standards of a high-def television. It is high def compared to other monitors currently available. 5 STARS.

2. SOUND. The sound quality is very good. There is a soft "whoosh" of interference that is constantly in the background when the receiver is on. I have never seen a monitor that didn't have that interference, and this is better than most. The microphone appears to be very sensitive and picks up my child's smallest sounds. 4 STARS.

3. RECEPTION. The reception is unparalleled in my opinion. There is only an occasional blip of interference on one side of the picture that resolves quickly..... Additionally, the monitor does not appear to conflict with our wireless internet in any way. 5 Stars

4. PAN/TILT. This monitor advertises the ability to pan and tilt. If you are picturing being able to remotely control the camera to move in any direction, that's not what it does. From the remote parent unit, you can zoom in on the picture 2X to 4X. While in a zoomed view, you can move right, left, up or down within the picture,.....The zoom feature does produce fairly clear images, however, and for us we like being able to see both our kids in their bunk beds in the zoomed out view, and then zoom in on each one individually.....4 Stars

5. TIME OUT and OTHER FEATURES. This monitor has an on-screen menu that allows you to set your preferences for the Time Out feature, AUTO level, Night vision (infrared) and adding other cameras. TIME OUT allows you to set how long you want the screen to be on before it automatically shuts off to save battery life - 5 seconds, 15 secs, 25 secs, or OFF which leaves it on until you turn it off. I really like this feature because you can hit the view button to see the picture and then just set it down and it will turn itself off. The sound continues after the screen turns off unless you have set the AUTO LEVEL, which turns the sound off and then turns it on if there is a sound in the room. You can set this to OFF, which keeps the sound on until you turn the unit off, or to level 1, 2 or 3 which makes it more or less sensitive to sound, i.e., it will turn the sound on for smaller noises on level 1 or wait for bigger noises on level 2 or 3....for NIGHT vision you can turn the infrared on, off, or to auto.....5 Stars.

6. OTHER. There is a Safety 1st screen that comes on every time you turn the screen on, as if it shows while the unit is booting up,.....but it's only on there for 1 second so it's not that big of a deal. The screen does return to the view you had before, like if you were zoomed in on a certain spot it returns to that, which is nice.....The screen is pretty small, smaller than our old one, but the picture is so much better it makes up for it.....Finally, the power button on the camera blinks brightly when the camera is on, which can be annoying in the dark. I taped tin foil over it to cover it up.
Overall, I would recommend this monitor to family and friends without hesitation....I am convinced this is among the best baby video monitors, if not the best available today. I love it. (Read Full Review)

4* out of 5* Network Killer, June 23, 2008, By Facie
Great monitor. Clear picture. Good sound. Little feedback. One BIG problem. It kills your wireless network. Another writer commented that he was unsure whether this device was interfering. I can attest, with certainty, that is it. We're running the new N class Apple AirPort as well. Not an old router. The interference in sporadic, but when it hits your network goes down and for a number of minutes.
So, be warned. If you use wireless routers, consider the 900 Mhz monitors (and risk too many neighbors using the same frequency range as well).

5* out of 5* Been using for 4 months non-stop!, June 26, 2008, By T. Maffei "Mafster"
My wife and I have been using this non-stop for the past 4 months and love it! Granted, the battery life isn't too long, but it is rechargable, so when it isn't on our hip, it is plugged in nearby. Its interface is IPOD like, and once you figure it out, it is just fine. Good night-vision and color vision. Seriously, for the money, there isn't anything better out there in the range of baby video monitors.
