This system has good range and acceptable audio/video signals. The surprising thing about it is the limitations it has for a $300 system...
I have more than one child and wanted to purchase a second camera so I can switch between channels and view each child (a reasonable expectation since many lower cost systems offer an extra camera option to do just that). Here is the response given by their customer service: "There is not a second camera option for that system. It has two channel selection to minimize interference" (huh??? you have two channels but cannot use a second camera?) This seems very short sighted to me unless their expected demographic is only for people with one child, especially for the cost of this system.
Another oddity is the use NiCad batteries in the portable monitor, Nicads have well documented memory effect issues if you don't allow them to completely discharge before recharging them, this is another inconvenience that I am not sure why they chose this instead of NIMH or LI-Ion batteries.
I suppose I can live with the battery issue but the camera issue is making me consider returning this product for another that will fit my needs.

We bought this early (before the babies arrive) to test it out and we are not disappointed. We are using it right now to monitor an ailing relative who needs near constant monitoring and the nature of the set up is she is in a separate home on the property. So the monitor and sound are working perfectly at a range of about 275 ft between two homes. The handheld device can also be hooked up to your tv which puts the picture large and very convenient. You have the option of having sound, picture or both which is a nice feature. I give this high marks and cannot wait to use it to monitor the babies when they arrive.

Very good monitor.
Pros:
(+) Really like how it includes two monitors (so two people in different places can both monitor our son).
(+) Like how the handheld video monitor can be connected and displayed on large TV
Cons:
(-) Some static interference once in a while
(-) Handheld video monitor when not connected with the ac plug will go into sleep mode after a few minutes (not audio, just video). You'll need to press a button on top to turn it back on
(-) Can't pan or zoom
For roughly the same price, you can get the Summer Best View monitor which I also bought (kept both for different locations). Personally like that one better due to. It pretty much addresses all the down falls of this unit being reviewed: clearer picture, ability to pan & zoom and video stays on even when AC not connected. The only thing is that the Best View can't connect to a larger TV and only includes the handheld unit. Really all you need in my opinion though.
Summer makes great products.

video monitor
The video monitor was a gift to my niece. They had set it up and apparently it didn't work well in their house.

Total garbage
Summary: don't buy this thing. I currently have the monitor about 20 feet from the camera, and it looks like someone attached a VCR to an old TV with coat hangers. Read more
