5.0 out of 5 stars Great Baby Monitor!, April 20, 2009

This review is from: Sony 900 MHz BabyCall Nursery Monitor with Receivers (Baby Product)

We had a Sony BabyCall with our first son and loved it!! We loved it so much the receiver was very well worn when we had our second son 28 months later. We were holding it together with a rubberband...and it was still working! (We had dropped it too many times. We were VERY rough on it and I doubt any other monitor would have held up as well.) When pregnant with our second son, we ordered a Graco dual monitor system to monitor both rooms. It did not measure up to the standard we had come to rely on with our Sony! (I will not get into all my issues with the Graco monitor.)

I ordered the Sony BabyCall with two receivers when our second son was a few months old. We use one receiver with the new monitor and the second receiver with our old monitor so we can effectively monitor both our sons' rooms. Works great. If both are sleeping, you do have to carry two monitors (but I was sleeping with two of the Graco receivers because they weren't reliable.) They are set on different channels and do not interfere with one another. The BabyCall is sensitive enough, that I could rely on only the monitor in our baby's room to hear our older son during naptime.

The positive things I rely on: 1) you can hear them breathing through this monitor it is so sensitive!; 2) the battery life; 3) range. It is as clear as if you were in the room...but, actually magnified.

The negative things that don't bother me: 1) so sensitive it will interfere w our mobile phones so we have to keep them separated; 2) so sensitive the receiver can sometimes scream at you if you aren't accustomed and walk too closely to your child's door while carrying it. Our first Sony would interfere with the microwave but I have not noticed it with this one and I frequently have both receivers in the kitchen (note: new microwave as well).

For me, the reliability and sensitivity far out weigh any interference issues!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not good in large condo/apt buildings, February 22, 2010

My wife did a ton of research and came to the conclusion that this monitor was the one for us. Unfortunately, we hate the thing. Even with the adjusting of the channel to try to find a clear one, there is no use as there are too many signals criss-crossing this building. The monitor beeps and crackles all the time, even when you just walk passed. There is an alarm feature on the receivers so you are aware if the signal is not being received. Most annoying sound on earth and the alarm can go off if the dog is too close. If you use a cell phone anywhere near this thing, it has a conniption fit. You don't even want to know about the sounds it makes when the microwave is on. This was an expensive experiment and we will be getting a different monitor when we have the next kid.

DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU LIVE IN APARTMENT BUILDING.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good solid monitor, but..., September 10, 2009

This review is from: Sony 900 MHz BabyCall Nursery Monitor with Receivers (Baby Product)

The overall quality of this monitor is good. Very good sensitivity, and volume. You will definitely hear what is going on. The reception range is disappointing though. With a couple of walls in the way, it barely makes it down the hall. I have been using this for two weeks, but will probably be returning it once I find one that works better. Even with the voice activated mode, it makes a lot of static. Every time it loses it's link, it beeps and makes noise when it reconnects. We don't know if our baby made a little noise that triggered it, or if it was a lost connection. The parent units will operate portably on the rechargeable batteries, but they are rather large and clunky. Also, I was very disappointed to find that it doesn't have an accommodation in the nursery unit for batteries in case of power loss.
