    Baby walkie-talkie

    One of the best purchases for our baby. We have a smart crib with video and audio but the quality is poor. Every night for the past year we have this set up if we are on the couch or back porch or in bed. Crystal clear loud audio and we take it anywhere.

    Such a useful tool.

    These monitors are so helpful. I love them. As a new mom these help me be able to do work outside of my babys room while she sleeps.

    Works beyond expectations

    These are so well thought out and perform perfectly. If the baby’s device shuts off the parent monitors beep constantly to let you know; so if the battery stops or it’s turned off, you know right away. The range is fantastic, carried the parent device next door and could still hear and respond to baby’s side! Having 2 parent monitors is also perfect for my use. It’s so simple to use, easy to set up, anyone can do it. I’m actually using this to monitor my elderly mom who uses the call button like when she was in the hospital, to call a nurse! But she loves that she can simply call out, and we can reply directly two way communication. I highly recommend this device, everything about it was been perfect for our needs.

    Great Monitor! Used it for a Sick Adult.

    These work great. Especially loved the paging and the 2-way talk features. I actually used them for my mother while I was taking care of her during her cancer treatments. I put her’s on the bed’s headboard using a command hook, where we were able to keep it plugged in at all times. She could easily reach it to page me if she needed/wanted something. The range was pretty good as we were on different floors of my home. I could go out in the yard or on my back deck and was still able to listen out for her. The monitor has different sensitivity settings which worked well. I also liked the monitor clip. I could wear it on my shirt or pants if I was walking around. Also liked the battery charger display and warning so I knew when it needed to be plugged back in for charging. It can get some static, but it was never bad. I don’t know any baby monitor that is 100% crystal clear at all times. I didn’t hear much cross interference. It would definitely screech if the monitors got too close together. I usually had the monitor clipped to me most of the time and would get feedback when quickly going into my mother’s room with it on me. It has an out of range warning and it will actually tell you if it can’t find or not connecting to the other monitor. I would give it 5 stars, but the instructions and how all the different settings work is a bit confusing at first. Other than that, it’s a great set and I would recommend this monitor. As I side note…… I also used it for my husband after he had his appendix taken out. He could page me if he was in pain or wanted a snack. The baby monitor worked great for this big baby! lol

  • how far of a distance will they reach

    I live in a duplex- each side about 950 sq ft. I can clearly hear my Mother’s activities in her bedroom and living room. I can holler at her just to make sure she is ok and she can hear me throughout her house. I am super impressed!
