Great Baby Monitor
This is perfect. I bought it for my grandson. The monitor screen is clear. It has night vision, it checks the temperature in the room, and you can speak from the monitor to the camera. It's awesome.

Great Sound, Great Quality
If you’re looking for something that just works, this is it. It has great sound and very good quality picture. I really like the fact that it shows you the room temperature on the screen, our old one did not have this feature. I highly recommend it.

Great for the price
If you want a video monitor but need to stay within a budget, you'll probably be more than satisfied with this one. I'll mention my thoughts point by point. 1, Video feed is relatively low frame rate, and even lower when in night vision mode. This really isn't a problem, you can still see what your baby is doing just fine. If you want smooth streaming video you might be better off with a much more expensive camera or even a web cam. 2. No WiFi- Yes, you have to carry the parent unit around with you instead of being able to use your phone. Not a problem for me, I just set it in a nearby location with the volume up and the screen off, and if I hear my son making a lot of noise, I go over, turn the screen on and see what he's doing. Sure it'd be easier to just whip my phone out, but this thing just works out of the box - no set up required. Plug it in and turn it on. 3. Simple but elegant design. Not super high tech looking like other cameras but it is a clean, attractive design. 4. Indicator lights at the top of the parent unit don't turn off or dim. Even with the screen off, the little green and red lights at the top illuminate our bedroom at night so we have to lay it face down or put a cloth over it. Not a major problem, but it'd be nice if there was an option to dim/shut off those lights. 5. Battery life isn't great... but it's also not hard to just find a place to plug it in. We upgraded to this after using a normal baby monitor for a year and a half, so if I'm working outside, I just carry the regular monitor with me and set the video monitor up inside the door or something. If he makes noise, I walk inside and look at the video monitor. 6. Camera cord is a decent length but i still wish it were longer. Long enough to reach from up high on a wall to an outlet near the floor, maybe with a little room to spare. Makes it hard to find a convenient spot to mount the camera without rearranging the room. 7. Sound quality is good and the two-way radio feature is helpful. 8. Our house isn't huge, but our son's bedroom is on the 2nd floor. No problems at all with the video signal no matter where we go in the house. Haven't gone too far away from the house with it either but I imagine it would reach a good distance away. 9. The extremely negative reviews of this might scare you away, and that's unfortunate because i think this is a very reasonably priced unit. It may not be top of the line quality, but it's not top of the line price either. For $100, the peace of mind we get from having a video monitor that, so far, has been extremely user friendly and hasn't given us any trouble, is VERY worth it.

Okay, but not as good as advertised
Great audio, temp alert, and good size monitor... But the visual is a bit fuzzy, difficult to see details, not clear picture. Also, because the lighting in this room I monitor is always dim, it always displays in night mode, so is in black, white and gray- I have never gotten a true color image on the monitor- would need to have a fully overhead brightly lit room to even try to get a true color image and who would have that in a babies room at rest time especially?! The monitor does not hold a charge for long either, so even though it is moblie, must keep near an outlet for plug in charge. Could not rate for more than 3 Stars due the image and charge issues.
