I have to say this is better than my old one. I love the look of it and its easy to carry around. It takes 4-AA batteries and I would say it would last 2-days if you turn it on during naps and off when not in use. I still get static when I'm near a laptop. Don't get fooled by the color quality picture that you see on amazon. The actual color looks nothing like it. It looks more black and white than color. There is no zoom in/zoom out feature and our table is too far from the bed. So I tried to balance the monitor on the bed and its hard when the base of it is too narrow.

I have bought this product recently, and I am very happy with it.
I also tried a similar product that is using 2.4ghz radio and it had bad reception because of my Wi-Fi Internet and cordless phone.
This one works for 15 meters away from the camera unit with decent reception. The audio is clear and video quality is satisfying.
Only downside is that the camera unit has limited movement, so I had to improvise a way to hang it on my baby's bed. But that's a very minor issue.
If you're in to video baby monitor, this is a great choice.

I just received it yesterday and the quality of the video is very good. I am replacing another baby video monitor. (MOBI) There is some interference, but its nothing like the previous monitor. I like the fact you can shut off the video feed with out shutting off the unit, you can still here everything, this is great at night when you are asleep, and you do not have to have a bright light on your face. You can simply turn off the screen. The mobility of the actual camera is great my old one only moved up and down, this one moves all 4 directions North, east, south, and west. .

I purchased a Securityman PalmWatch III for my mother's caregivers to use during the night earlier this year (2009). My mother is forgetful, very unsteady and inclined to falls, so it is important that the nighttime caregiver know if my mother is trying to get out of bed. The caregiver is in another room in the apartment, about 30 feet away, so I needed a wireless connection with at least that distance capability. I also wanted motion detection without the use of a mat, and without an alarm in the bedroom, which would frighten my mother. The Securityman PalmWatch III met my specifications.

I purchased the device through Amazon and had it shipped direct to my mother's apartment. The primary caregiver was able to install it without difficulty. The caregivers report that the device works very well in detecting motion during the night and triggering an alarm on the remote receiver; they are then able to use the nightvision camera to determine if my mother is trying to get up and go in to help her if required. I have personally verified that the product works well. This product is ideal for unobtrusive remote monitoring/alarm for caregivers.

We have a 15 month old and another baby on the way. Our 15 month old started doing stunts in his crib where he would end up with his legs stuck between the crib bars. I would hear him crying in the middle of his nap, but not know that he was stuck, so I would try and let him cry himself back to sleep. Only he wouldn't stop crying. When I went in to check him after he wouldn't stop crying, I would find him stuck in the bars. Silly kid! I felt so bad, though, that he was crying and I didn't know he was stuck. If I knew he was stuck I would have gone in right away, otherwise, he usually would cry himself back to sleep and finish his nap.

After a while of finding him stuck, I decided I needed to get a video monitor. The first time I saw him stuck in the crib on the monitor, I went in right away and it made the money all worth it. I don't know how I've made it 15 months without it!! I think it's GREAT!

It's also great in the night. It has excellent night vision, crystal clear! Of course the night vision has a black and white sense to it, but hey, it's night vision!

Batteries for me lasted two days for his daytime naps. Not great, but considering that I'm powering a little TV instead of just sound, I thought it was pretty good.

I love it. I bought a second camera for a little one on the way and we have tried out the two cameras together. The monitor will alternate between the two channels every 3 seconds if you want it to, or you can just watch or listen to one channel at a time. I thought it was GREAT!

I highly recommend this product!

We've tried a couple of other monitors that said they had automatic night vision, this is the only one that worked. You can see clearly in a pitch black room it's great. The camera is great because it allows you (by hand) to adjust it up,down, side to side,even at an angle it is wonderful. I will say I've never put batteries in it I just plug it into a wall. You can even attach it to your TV it is great. I love it. The best for the price trust me!!!!

We purchased this item to add video coverage of our 1 month old's nursery. I have read many reviews of video monitors on various sites, and this was the only one which had acceptable marks.

The monitor was super easy to setup and "configure". I was initially concerned that without mounting it at an angle on a wall, I would not get full coverage of the crib. However, this monitor has an excellent wide angle of view, and the camera lens itself is adjustable to an extent. But what really floors me is the quality of the video! The picture is clear and crisp, and the night vision is stellar. We've experienced little, if any, interference (and we have multiple wireless devices functioning in our house - wifi, alarm system, etc) - occasionally, if we plug an additional electronic device into the same outlet, we'll get a small static wave. But, it's hardly noticeable and has not interfered with the picture.

My only complaint (and why this is 4-star, not 5) is the audio volume. It may be that we're coming from an audio-only monitor, but the highest volume setting is not nearly enough for my tastes. Sometimes I have to crouch right next to it to hear anything. If it wasn't for the high-quality video, I may have returned it for this reason.

Overall, we are very pleased with this purchase. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

Good Quality picture. Doesnt interfere with our cordless phone, internet or cell phones. Only thing that could be improved is how it mounts. Needs to have a swivel bracket on it for the camera to mount.

Otherwise it is a great purchase.

It was an OK product to begin with. Forget about using it with batteries - you will end up changing them almost every day. There was some interference from WiFi, so just have to find a good spot in the room. It is also very hard to point camera to look down into the crib, it can only be standing and the `eye' has very limited angle. So overall it was just something that we were stuck with. Then after couple of months of use the picture started to get grainy, at times so grainy that I could not figure out what am I looking at. Some times it would get stuck and show you a still image. I had to turn camera on and off couple of times to get rid of this image and show real time picture again. Well, it was getting worse, at times the camera would be stuck for hours, even days - you turn on the monitor and see the picture of your baby in the crib when the baby is not there! Now I have it for less then 6 months and it is just a piece of junk. Do not bother with this product...

This is a great product for a great price. I LOVE that it's simple and very easy to set up. There's no static whatsoever and it doesn't interfere with my wifi, cordless phones, or cell phones at all. The picture is clear and night vision is like watching it in the daytime. This is a deal I'm glad I didn't pass up!
