	Don't waste your money.
	The picture was fine during the day, but at night I could barely see my baby on the monitor. The sound was horrible. We have a split bedroom floor plan, so when I went to our bedroom on the other side of the house, there was so much static - even with it plugged in. Mabye like the other reviewer said, our cell phone or computer may have been interfering. Needless to say, I returned this monitor a few days later. I was so disappointed.

	Okay Monitor, Not Great
	We purchased the most expensive video monitor thinking that we would "get what we paid for." I certainly hope there are better ones on the market. The sound on this monitor is not clear, there is a constant electronic-type hum. Pretty annoying when you're trying to catch some much-needed sleep! Also, while advertised as a color monitor, beware that the color is very "washed out" (reds look pale pink)and not significantly different from a black & white video monitor, even after adjusting the brightness. Additionally, the rechargeable batteries run down rather quickly (3-3.5 hours). Having said that, it IS wonderful to be able to "peek" at the baby without waking him/her. A video monitor is the way to go, but perhaps there is a better one out there.

	Great picture; bad reception!
	What a shame! This monitor has beautiful picture and the crib mount is a fantastic idea. That being said, DO NOT BUY IF YOU RUN WIRELESS DEVICES IN YOUR HOME! We have both wireless internet and a cordless phone. Both the router and the phone work on 2.4 GHz, but they do not interfere with each other. All three channels on this monitor, however, caused major interference with all of our wireless devices. I called the company to see if there was anything we could do. The representative said that we would need to buy a new cordless phone and router that operate at a different band. She even cautioned me that many households with satellite TV experience interference. My research discovered that the majority of wireless devices currently operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency. I don't understand why Safety 1st didn't put this otherwise fabulous monitor on the 900 MHz band, like all of their other video monitors.

	Great monitor
	I love this monitor. We use it all the time, but just for the visual. The audio isn't great. We use another monitor for that. I would totally recommend this monitor to any parent. Before using this monitor I was only using an audio monitor. One day after putting my son down for a nap, I heard a little cough through the audio monitor. I thought my son might have been just stirring, but I went in to check. I found him lying on his back, as recommended for SIDS safety, choking on his own throw up. I immediately picked him up and tapped his back and he was breathing again. Imagining that I had never heard that little cough....I was terrified. Now that I have this camera monitor, I am so much more at ease. And if he does make a little noise I can look over to see what going on....It's great. Definately buy this monitor.
