5.0 out of 5 stars Best Video Monitor Option I Found!! Highly Recommend!, June 25, 2008

By	D. Janes (Minnetonka, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been very, very pleased with this monitor. We tried to add a 2nd camera to our old sfaety first video monitor but it would just not support two cameras even though it was suppose to. I researched and read tons of reviews on video monitors, quality of the image, portability, interference, etc. and finally decided on the BebeSounds 2 camera package. It has been excellent!

Positive:
The cameras are easy to use, swivel in any direction to get your image, can be attached to a wall instead of placed on a flat surface, seem to be sturdy, are light weight and run on an AC cord.

The monitor has an excellent quality picture image. I was afraid coming from the mini tv sized monitor with safety first that I would not like the smaller image but the quality and detail is so good I love being able to move it around and take it with us out of town. It can run on rechargeable batteries or the AC plug. You can watch just one room, just the other room, or set it to flip back every few seconds between rooms. Very easy to use. You can adjust the light on the camera from the monitor so if the image is too dark, or too bright, you can change it without going into the child's room. Sound is great. no interference with our wireless router or several cordless phones. Works throughout our home across 3 stories and into the yard.

Negative:
The monitor comes with 5 rechargeable batteries and only uses rechargeable batteries. It states this clearly in several places on the monitor. Despite that, someone in my family decided it was only a suggestion and put regular batteries in it and they overheated and actually leaked something that took the varnish off in a spot my end table. We generally use rechargeable batteries because not using them is too expensive for kids things so this was clearly user error, but anyone using it needs to know the red warning label inside the battery compartment is a requirement, not a suggestion. I also wish it used on 4 batteries because I can only charge 4 at a time on our charger and that 5th battery is an extra charging step. We rarely use it off the plug anyways so on a true hassle scale, it is pretty low. Compared to the overall quality of the equipment, I would buy this and recommend it again and again.

Does not have any intercom from the monitor back to the camera(s) - basically that sooth your baby by talking to him/her through the monitor. Our old system never had it, a friends system we borrowed did and I never used it, so to us it was not an issue. But if you want that feature, this system will not have it.

Overall - Love Love Love this system!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for!!, April 17, 2008

By	Ashley Vandiver - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The monitor works great. It has great range and clear picture. The night vision on the camera picks up great. I have been very satisfied with the reception, we pick up clear picture outside the house. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for video monitors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well & good night vision, June 27, 2007

By	MaxShiraz (Chicago) - See all my reviews

Had this monitor for about a week. So far so good.

I like that the cameras can work on battery as well as A/C power. This allows me to put the cameras close to my son's bed without having a cable. The camera is rather large and requires a flat surface so can't be attached to a crib if you need that. The camera does have rather bright lights which is tempting for my son to investigate when he gets out of bed. I guess it needs to be somewhere out of reach.

Reception is quite OK - although the longest distance I require is about 40 feet. The 2.5 inch screen is better than I thought it would be. Perhaps the same size as a cell phone screen but that's actually turned out to be better viewing than I thought.

Night vision works pretty well. After having a previous camera with very poor night vision, this one is a quite satisfactory. Gives good images in darkness up to maybe 7 feet - and with a night light in the room can view 15 feet or so - long enough!

Only thing is that the camera can only work on battery power for perhaps 6-8 hours. I guess this is to be expected, but it means that you have to have rechargeable batteries and you have to recharge every day. Not a major problem.
