Customer Review: GREAT monitor
Summary: 5 Stars
This is our second monitor. The first is still in use by our first born. This one is used by our newborn girl. I can not recommend this product enough for parents.Customer Review: Love it!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The monitor is great! the image is b/w but very good. The only problem I see is the audio which is not too clear, but it really does the job and I think the price is very good compared to others.Customer Review: Works great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this monitor for over 4 years on a daily/nightly basis. I think it has been great. The only thing that went wrong with ours was that the antenna broke off. We soddered it back on and it has been fine. We have moved the camera fromm different rooms and different places in our house and have had great reception. But you get great picture and sound. I can usually understand everything my son is saying or crying about when I listen. Customer Review: Didn't Last Long
Summary: 1 Stars
The product worked great while it lasted but after a year, the video quit working (the audio still works). We were very disappointed especially because of the amount of money we paid for it. Customer Review: Good monitor, bad audio
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a decent concept but the makers fell short on design when they included such cheap audio electronics. The monitor and video quality are as expected - black and white CRT screen with a vertical hold adjuster, which you'll need to use just like the old days of black and white TV. Nighttime vision is OK but I have seen better IR illumination on cameras.
The main problem is that the microphone is set to such a sensitive level that there is no way to avoid noise on the other end. There is no way to turn the sound down to an acceptable level on the reciever, so you must turn the sound off to avoid the nuisance of constant static and buzzing. The sensitivity overload is further enhanced by the blinking red lights (visual cue to sound) that blink constantly, even when there is silence by the microphone.
Since bad audio reception and static are the main consumer complaints about these types of products, I recommend avoiding this unit until they can figure out the audio issues. If you're just looking for good video coverage for cheap, then this might be a good unit for you.
