Reasonably Priced -- Only Moderate Picture QualityApr 29, 2007
By Tien Tzi
I purchased this camera both for a 'lazy install' front door security camera and as well general-purpose around the house monitoring. Compared to commercial security cameras and hi-end baby monitors this was reasonably priced (<$200). Since the camera is wireless installation is convenient, as long as you've got a plug for the AC adaptor. Its plastic and somewhat flimsy, so is better suited as a counter-top baby monitor than a security camera (unless you can install in a dry, secure location). The remote video receiver is convenient (about the size of a video iPod), but consumes a lot of battery power, which means you'll either require the AC adapter for on-going video monitoring (in reach of an AC wall socket) or use the batteries only for periodic monitoring. The picture quality is "ok" -- I was expecting better overall picture quality considering today's technology and a 2.4GHz signal -- and I corraborate other reviews here that unless you're only a few feet away expect a lot of picture static -- which is annoying. The camera has a built-in microphone, but the static is so bad it rendors the audio useless (another dissappointment -- and likely a show-stopper as a baby monitor if you can't get a clean signal).
But the 10 infrared LEDs provide a reasonably good night-time picture (actually, the picture quality is much the same, from bright sun-light to pitch black). So overall the camera has been useful. Fun note: Had a Gambell's Quail nest in a bush outside so I placed the camera right by the nest (yes, w/a rain cover) to monitor mom on her eggs -- have learned a lot about how Quails tend to their eggs. This was an unexpected, pretty cool use for this camera.

GREAT LCD PICTURE...TERRBLE AUDIO!!! DON'T BUY!!!Feb 05, 2008
By M. Nelson
GREAT CONCEPT , LCD, PAN/TILT BUT....IT IS TOO BAD THEY COUDLN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE A PRODUCT W/O ALL OF THE STATIC AND CRACKING! IT IS HORRIBLE. NOT MUCH GOOD IF YOU HVE TO KEEP THE VOLUME OFF & STARE AT THE PICTURE. I HAVE TRIED ALL OF THE CHANNELS, AND MANY LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT OUR HOUSE AND IT IS ALWAYS VERY LOUD. CAN'T WAIT TO GET A REPLACEMENT AND BE FREE FROM THE NOISE AND INTERUPTIONS AT NIGHT!!! I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT SUMMER INFANTS MONITOR!

 Not a baby monitor to buyJul 12, 2007
By E. Anderson
This monitor comes in different names but is made by the same manufacturer. Also beware that the newer version that has the greater pan and tilt capability isn't any better. This might be useful as a security monitor if it doesn't leave an a/c outlet for more than an hour and if it sits on a desk that's higher than your body. Issues I found: 1. When I turned on my microwave the speaker screeched and the monitor was unusable. 2. If the monitor was on a table and you walked toward it (within a few feet) the display would go out and the audio would give you a buzzing noise. 3. The pan and tilt feature barely worked- Monitor was downstairs and the camera's upstairs. Less than 60 ft. I had to go upstairs to get them to work. (I don't have wireless or a 2.4 GHz phone) 4. The volume control was extremely touchy. It went from 0 to loud with barely a touch. I liked the concept but the product needs some tweaking for it to be a baby monitor.

DO NOT BUYFeb 03, 2007
By Laura A. Parker
This looks great but you cannot get out of the bedroom before the static starts. Spend a little more money and buy a better one. There is no need to waste your time with this one...
 A must have with children.Sep 12, 2009
By LJE
I have purchased 3 of these. One for me and two of my children, both of them have a set of twins. It has proven to be the best purchase ever. Eliminates having to go into the bedroom unless necessary. I have had mine 4 years now and still use it even for the older kids to make sure everyone is being nice and not jumping on the bed! The kids think we can see through walls! Gives us a sense of security and allows us to watch a movie without getting up 20 times. The night vision is fabulous! Very durable and easy to move it around with the remote control so we can see everyone. You can turn the volume off or down. I wish I had had one when I raised my kids. One negative...we have wireless laptops and it sometimes interferes with them. My son figured out how to change channels (I think on the computer not the monitor) or something to fix that.
Bottom line....love it, would hate to live without it. (We have lots of grandkids and use it often)!
