This monitor is the best video baby monitor out there if you have more than one child you want to keep an eye on. It can automatically switch between up to 3 cameras every 5 seconds or so, the batteries are rechargeable, it has great battery life (I switch to audio only at times to save battery - but it lasts me all day), there is no static, the picture is as good if not better than others (I can see if my baby's eyes are open or closed), it's small but has a large screen given it's size, and the range is good (works two floors down). The cons: 1. The volume level drops (not completely off but very, very low) whenever it is turned off, so you have to remember to turn the volume up every time you turn it on. 2. I've had trouble getting the screen to pop out for tilting (I just placed a piece of thick tape behind it to put a little pressure and help it pop out). 3. It interferes with the wireless unless you change your channel (I changed mine to 11 per H. Gaskill's recommendation...thanks!) 4. Finally, occasionally my monitor turns off for a second when changing from audio only to video or vice versa...which wouldn't matter except that the volume drops when this happens and sometimes I don't realize it and can't hear my baby very well when he cries. Yet with all these cons, it is by far the best out there...and I've personally tried 6 before it and researched dozens.
