Customer Review: a MUST HAVE!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Our son is now 7 months old and has been sleeping in his own room for the past three. My husband and I can't figure out why we didn't buy this monitor sooner. Until we bought it, we were up at least three times a night checking up on him, and I can't count how many times he has woken up with even the slightest footstep or creak of the door I've made on my way in or out of his room. For the first time in a LONG time, I was able to sleep through the night. The on/off button on the top of the monitor is great, no searching for switches in the middle of the night. Just a quick tap of the button and there's baby :)We also have every wireless gadget known to man running in our house, and still no interference with the Quiet Sounds Monitor. The picture is great, and there's tons less static than the past two monitors we've tried. Even if the picture was bad, which it definitely is not, I feel that seeing my child even a little is better than not seeing him at all. Being first time parents, it offers peace of mind and a good night's sleep, not to mention a great opportunity to watch your little one in his most tranquil moment :)Customer Review: Impressive unit!

I wasn't too sure about this camera/TV combo for only $100 but we got it anyway based on a friend's recommendation. After trying it out I'm impressed. The first thing you notice when you take it out of the box is the modern iMac design. It sure looks cool. Then you notice that the camera unit and the TV unit both feel solid and well made. But at this point you're wondering if it will really perform. You look for the on-off switch and find there are two choices, channel A or B. You see the picture for the first time...it's not bad! Then you try out some of the other features. The audio sensitivity is excellent! The red lights on the TV unit pick up the slightest sound. There is a handy button on the top of the TV unit that turns the video off and on, and when video is off, it works just like an audio-only unit. You try it in the dark and you see a bright, clear picture. The last thing is that we wondered if the camera can be mounted on the wall. There is a mounting hole on the back, and the antenna switches into a vertical position! Excellent! The only real improvement would be a larger or a color screen.Customer Review: Safety Hazard / Horrible Reception

Our son was 4 months old when he started having seizures. We couldn't be there to watch him during his naps,(his sister is 4 and loud), so we bought this monitor. The picture on the screen is horrible. If you have it near a microwave or cordless phone or any electrical appliance it goes fuzzy and distorted. While not in use, the camera fell,accidentally off the dresser. I found it not more than a half hour later. I went to pick it up, and it was so hot that I immediately dropped it and had to use a towel to pick it up again. When it cooled down, I noticed that the entire face of the camera had melted and had the shape of the carpet imprinted in the melted plastic. I am furious at the potential hazard this may have caused if I had found it any later than I had. What if it fell on my son or the bed, or anything flammable? This company would have had a huge suit against them. I am now in the process of sending a formal complaint to the company. Don't buy this camera unless you make extreme precautions to secure it to a fire proof surface. Or better yet, don't buy it at all.Customer Review: Rest Easy!

WOW! We love our video monitor! This has really helped our transition to getting our son into his own room at night! Our son was perfectly fine when we transitioned him to his own room, but my husband and I were a nervous wreck! This monitor helps us keep peace of mind and be able to rest. We have had minimal problems with static and the sound/picture quality is great - even the night vision feature! We can check to see his position (I am always nervous about him smooshing his face into the mattress when he rolls around), his breathing and the geographic locale of his pacifier! We get a kick out of seeing our son exploring in his crib and not even knowing he has an audience!
Also, when he is napping, it makes it easy to check on him without actually entering his room - which always used to wake him up.
I understand from the other reviews that durability and longevity may be an issue with this item. I can't comment on that because we have only had it for 2 months. But for us, 2 months of sleep has been worth the investment already even if it tanks later...

This monitor was given to me as a shower gift (for my 1st baby)from someone very special to my family. I have never seen the competition's monitors but I don't feel I need to. I am completely satisfied w/the performance of this monitor. I love the fact that the room can be completely dark and yet the picture is still bright & crystal clear. We leave the voice monitor on all night and It gives my husband and I peace of mind knowing that w/the click of a button we can peek in on our little angel. Our little man has been sleeping in his nursery since he was a month old and this monitor made the transistion so much easier on mom & dad :O) I have a 900mhz phone & all kinds of gadgets including another voice monitor set up and yet to have notice any kind of static. The only fault I have found with this is when you first turn the monitor on the picture jumps for a few seconds. Not quite sure why but if you are patient it settles down to bring one of the most precious sites in the world.. (your baby sleeping soundly!!) A great buy for any parent first time or not.
