- Not a good product This product was given to us as a gift for our first child (1.5 years ago) and we've hardly used it. It uses up batteries like crazy and reception is terrible (audio and video). We're having our second child and we've moved into a new house, so I thought I'd give it another try as a way to hear my son in his new bedroom at night--that way we could leave it plugged in and avoid the battery problem. Still, the audio and video reception are terrible. Video isn't so critical at night, but the audio is just plagued with static.There's no way I would get any sleep with this thing within earshot (which defeats the purpose). We have a lot of electronics and wireless things on our home, which may be part of the problem. If you get it, don't tear up the packaging because you may need to send it back. Rating: - I think this is a great monitorI was acutally shocked when I just read a lot of bad reviews for this monitor. We have used this monitor for almost 2 years and it still works great. We live in a fairly large (4500 sq ft) three level house and it works everywhere including the yard. I have no problem with reception with the camera in my daughters room on the third level and I am using the monitor down in the basement on the otherside of the house. I highly recommend this monitor. Rating: - Terrible sound connectionWhat do you want in a monitor. You don't want the monitor to be hissing and making noise all night. You don't want it making noise when the baby is just breathing normally. You want to hear when your baby starts fussing or crying. And you don't want hissing and popping. This device couldn't transmit through a single wall over ten feet. It was crackling for no good reason, and when our baby was crying the sound quality was terrible. Rating: - not worth the priceUnfortunately this product does not work well at all. The receiver times out after about 10 minutes and stops receiving the feed. There is so much static if you turn the volume up loud enough to hear. it is horrible! Rating: - bad receptionHorrible reception. I bought two because I have twins and one of the receivers broke entirely and the other on is on the fritz after a year and a half. I thought maybe there was some interference in our neighborhood, but anywhere I take them I get poor reception. The batteries also wear themselves out even when it isn't in use.
