 Great System January 6, 2009
M. Wright (Wellington, Ohio USA)
We have a similar system to this one. The only difference is that ours includes a handheld unit without a screen (audio only). This is spectacular. The screen is right next to my wife's side of the bed, so she can rest with the peace of mind that she can just push the video button on the top and see our daughter in the crib. As first-time parents, my wife is very concerned and likes to check periodically to see that she is still breathing. No problem with this video screen! If she starts fussing, we can look to see if there is a reason and get an idea from her facial expressions as to how severe it will be. All of this is possible without going into her room and disturbing her! I never thought we'd need the video screen, but I am very glad now that we have it.
The only problem with this unit is that there is some interference. For us, we only see interference when standing in certain spots in the room where the monitor is located. But move a few inches and it stops.
I would definitely buy another if we needed it and would recommend this to others.
 Terrible picture, very poor range December 10, 2008
Carl L. Gonsalves (Mountain View, California, USA)
Even with the monitor right next to the camera, the picture was very bad. All but the most intense colors were completely washed out, making the image effectively black and white. The contrast was also very extreme: pretty much everything was shown as either black or white, without shades of gray. I couldn't find any way to adjust the picture to improve it. There was also a fair amount of noise even at a range of a couple of feet.
Things got considerably worse when the monitor wasn't in the same room as the camera. While it's advertised as having a range of 400 feet, I found that at even 25 feet the image had so much noise that it was pretty much useless, and I couldn't get any reception at all after about 50 feet in real world conditions (ie: in a house with interior walls).
The overall construction also seemed to be very flimsy and cheap, with the exception of the LCD panel itself. I got the impression that the manufacturer blew their budget on the LCD and then had to skimp on everything else.
We ended up returning this item and getting an "Angelcare Deluxe" monitor. It doesn't have video, but it has much better range, and the things it does monitor (sound, movement and temperature) seem more useful.
GREAT baby monitor December 1, 2008

Purchased as a replacement for our now defective Safety 1st 900 MHz Sight and Sound Nursery Monitor System (after 4 years of service), we are absolutely amazed and impressed with the quality of the image during the day and the brilliant infrared-lit night vision of this camera / monitor combination. Once you have *color* video (only when not using night vision), you will never contemplate getting a black and white one.
At 75 feet and three walls away, our kids' images and voices are perfectly clear when monitored from our bedroom.
Despite what one reviewer mentioned, we have had absolutely NO interference with our 802.11g wireless setup at home. 802.11g operates at 2.4 GHz, and this monitor is at 900 MHz. There should not be interference. Our monitor is literally 3 feet away from the access point, and our computers at 50 feet away and even out to the backyard remain connected and working just fine.
We highly recommend this product.
 We did not like this at all! October 5, 2008

It was only good for the first week although it went out and made a loud noise every time our phone rang or we walked near it. The issues got worse and worse until it completely went out. No noise or video. We loved it for the first week and concidered getting a newer phone. (ours is only 5.8 ghz) but now we are glad we did not because it would have been for no reason. Unfortunatly I can not return this because it was a gift for the birth of my second child and the giver did not keep the receipt. I will try to write the company as I have heard this has helped with others although it took a very long time for a replacement to arrive.
Extremely satisfied... September 29, 2008
ZC Foran (Bremerton, WA)
I really wanted a video monitor, but was very hesitant to purchase due to the poor reviews on all the monitors I had looked at. I have to say that I am very happy with this purchase. I have owned this monitor for several weeks now and it works great. It was easy to set up and there really was no need to look at the directions. The video is great for daytime and night vision. Some reviews say that it's color is a little off during the day, and the truth is it is, but if you read the manual, it says that it needs to be really well lit to get the best color. Honestly, does it really matter if the color is a little off? Isn't the whole point to see your child? The sound however is extremely sensitive. While this would normally be a good thing, I wish that it was a little less so. I only ever turn the sound up by one notch. Unless you have an extremely loud house, there really isn't need for anything much higher than the very fist volume setting. Besides, if you do have that loud of a house, how do you expect your child to sleep anyway? As far as the interference goes, yes of course it has some at times. But you will find that true for any wireless device. No matter what monitor you get, you are bound to end up with some interference, especially if you have a cordless phone, wireless network, wireless controllers for any game console if they are operating on the same frequency. The power cords are much longer than expected and allows for you to place the devices almost anywhere. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who really needs some peace of mind while their child is sleeping in their crib, or whatever the use may be. I almost got a different monitor with a smaller screen, but after owning this monitor, I am most certainly happy that we went with the bigger screen. I can look at it from across the room and still see my child perfectly. The picture quality is so good, that I can actually see my child breathing.
