5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent product
We bought a different video monitor when our baby was first born but ended up returning it due to the interference and static-y audio. Recently, we moved our 9-month old into her own room, and we wanted to get a video monitor to see what she was doing. So we took a look at what else was available in terms of video monitors, and stumbled on this product.

I was deciding between a number of color monitors and decided to go with this one based on some of the reviews. After having used the product I too wonder about some of these reviews.

We bought a different video monitor when our baby was first born but ended up returning it due to the interference and static-y audio. Recently, we moved our 9-month old into her own room, and we wanted to get a video monitor to see what she was doing. So we took a look at what else was available in terms of video monitors, and stumbled on this product.

The Home Sentry is much better than any other video monitor we tried. The infrared camera does a great job, and the quality of the picture and length of the battery life is great. It is fun to watch her roll over in bed... and on the screen it looks like it's the middle of the day.

The only thing we wish is that there was a mode where the audio stayed on all the time... it turns on whenever there's any notable sound, but my wife likes to listen to our daughter breathe, so she uses this video monitor along with the always-on Safety First audio monitor as well.

Anyway, this is a great product. Don't hesitate to buy it. We love it.

I have 3 children and we had a different monitor every time. I am glad that we found this product. There is no interference, it works in pitch black as well as in bright light, and the volume doesn't have the buzzing sound unless a noise is present in the room. I recently purchased the top of the line product at babies r us and returned it the next day. They are missing the boat by not carrying this product by Baby Safe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real Live Customer Service, July 19, 2010
This review is from: "Home Sentry" Handheld, DIGITAL, Baby Monitor Free From Interference. (Baby Product)
I just received this monitor with the 2 cameras. With it came a nice letter from the manufacturer saying to call with any problems. The cameras were already registered to the monitor so setting it up was as easy as plugging it in. I had trouble getting the monitor off the scan mode so I called the number and was immediately connected to the President of the company who walked me through it. What a refreshing experience of true customer service!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent baby monitor!, July 15, 2010
This review is from: "Home Sentry" Handheld, DIGITAL, Baby Monitor Free From Interference. (Baby Product)
I did a LOT of research before purchasing this baby monitor. I have owned this for 11 months now and it has certainly lived up to their promises. It works great - in the dark I am even able to tell whether or not the baby's eyes are open!

I also found the staff at the Safe Baby Shop really helpful to deal with...

This review is from: "Home Sentry" Handheld, DIGITAL, Baby Monitor Free From Interference. (Baby Product)
I purchased the Home Sentry Interference Free Digital Monitor From Safe Baby almost 9 months ago after purchasing and returning the Graco IMonitor. I have been using it, with satisfaction, since I got it. My house is 2000 sq. ft. and all my interior walls are insulated, which I am assuming makes for challenging reception, yet I have no problem with reception in my room all the way across the house from my daughter's. I do have challenges when I take it outside the front of the house as her room is in the back corner. I have black out curtains in my daughter's bedroom and can see her very clearly day and night. There is a very short delay, 1 maybe 2 seconds, but that is much less than any other monitor I've experienced.

Before making my purchase with The Pegasus Shop I called, and spoke to Len, to get clarification on their return policy (I had major challenges with jr-moviesale returning the Graco IMonitor). I was very excited to be doing business with someone who was so helpful and stands behind his product.

I would highly recommend the Home Sentry Baby Monitor and The Pegasus Shop.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product coupled with great customer service, April 29, 2010
This review is from: "Home Sentry" Handheld, DIGITAL, Baby Monitor Free From Interference. (Baby Product)
My husband did extensive research for a digital monitor that had high visual clarity and good audio sensitivity. We'd heard about neighbors being able to hear conversations from other households with the traditional monitor and did not want to worry about that intrusiveness. We found that the Home Sentry met all of our needs. Once we started using it, however, we found that the screen and audio would "glitch" every other day or so. When we unplugged it or turned it on/off, the screen would go blank or the audio wouldn't work. The only way to fix it was turning on/off the power to the monitor and the camera and after a week or so, even that wasn't reliable. So we emailed Len Myers, the president of the company, and he (and his assistant Tammy) helped us to resolve the situation immediately. We have a new monitor now and we are so happy to have a consistently reliable monitor again. The picture clarity is great and the audio sensitivity allows us to hear our son clearly. We're thinking about purchasing another camera to link up to this system if we are blessed with another child.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very dissappointed, January 8, 2010

This review is from: "Home Sentry" Handheld, DIGITAL, Baby Monitor Free From Interference. (Baby Product)
I was deciding between a number of color monitors and decided to go with this one based on some of the reviews. After having used the product I too wonder about some of these reviews. The clarity on this monitor was very poor, most times being unable to make out what I was looking at. It seemed the only time I received a decent picture was when there was a direct light being shined on the object, even then it wasn't as advertised. I would say the only positive thing about this unit was the quick setup, which really is pointless if it doesn't work well. We have a black and white monitor we purchased 3 years ago for our daughter that still works well during the day but poorly at night. So we figured on upgrading to a new color monitor, well the search continues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product!, August 16, 2010

This review is from: "Home Sentry" Handheld, DIGITAL, Baby Monitor Free From Interference. (Baby Product)
So, we were renovating our large, empty, upstairs attic to become a master suite, a nursery, and a studio. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to hear the baby, and thus I bought this monitor.

I should begin with a caveat that we discovered later that I can hear him just fine, and technically we didn't really *need* the monitor. I love it though! We'd been talking about whether we were jumping to retrieve the boy too fast when he cried - perhaps he was just crying a bit in bed and might go back to sleep if left alone? The monitor showed us that he wakes first, gets out of bed, and when he can't get the door open, stands there and cries for help. I'd have felt awful if I'd just left him there crying for freedom, hoping or guessing that he might go back to sleep if left alone. What a releif to know what's going on in there without invoking the observer-affects-the-observed paradox! I also get a huge kick out of watching the boy sleep.

Anyway, the picture I find is quite good, and the monitor camera has withstood a couple bumps and falls which are the natural effect of being left in a room with a toddler. I live in a very urban area, so the lack of interference was of paramount importance to me and I have not been disappointed. The sound quality is also quite good compared to the monitors my friends have used. The monitor camera is located in the 3rd floor nursery and the reciever can get good reception on the first and second floors, and passable but spotty reception in the basement.

I'm very pleased with this purchase, and expect to use it at an upcoming hotel convention, so that I might attend panels during naptimes without guilt.

This review is from: "Home Sentry" Handheld, DIGITAL, Baby Monitor Free From Interference. (Baby Product)
We bought this product and loved all the features, unfortunately something in our house prevented us from having it work completely. But the customer service was outstanding, responding to our every question, helping us out and making sure that we were happy with our transaction. I wish all sellers were this great with their product support. When it didn't work, they returned it for us without any hassle. It has nice features such as camera switching, voice activation, etc.

This review is from: "Home Sentry" Handheld, DIGITAL, Baby Monitor Free From Interference. (Baby Product)
I read a lot of reviews on video monitor systems and decided to go with this on because it got better reviews. We rent our home and our sons door makes a bit of noise when its opened. My concern was that everytime we wanted to check on him we would disturb him so I figured a video monitor was the was to go. It really has saved a lot of hassle for both us and our son. The picture on the monitor it pretty good in the daylight, and the night vision is great. The only issue is that if there is not enough light in his room the picture is really hard to see. But that really has not been that big of a problem. We have never had a problem with interference. I will say that there is a bit of a delay in the audio, but it has not been a problem either. It is only a second or 2 delay. At first it was a bit creepy, but you get used to it. I would really recommend this product to those looking for a good video system.
