![]() It is a little pricey (around $167 on Amazon), but I still think it's worth the money. I know it's early to tell, but I think we're going to be very happy with it. In short, the picture is pretty good, the sound is very good, and the parent unit/monitor is very responsive. We haven't 'officially' tried it out yet (I'll be 34 weeks tomorrow), but we've played around with it & tried it out a bit for ourselves. ![]() DH & I decided to just return it & try another one (the one above). I originally bought a different one (a WiFi/phone app one), but it was pretty laggy on my phone (which is a pretty good phone & we have pretty good WiFi). I put a piece of black electric tape over it and problem solved. It is bright as hell when you’re sleeping with the monitor like one foot from your face. It changes color based on charging status. There’s a light about an inch long on the right side. One thing that did drive me crazy was the charging light. This doesn’t actually bother me, cuz it’s only when the microwave is running so like a minute or two. Also, the microwave interferes with the signal if the monitor screen is too close (like in the same room). Or just replace the battery - I got a replacement on Amazon for like $8. You just charge it 100% and then pull the battery out for 10 seconds, then plug it back in. It will show up as being dead on the screen but it’s not. The negatives: The battery goes wonky after a while. Oh and it has a mount so you can hang it from the wall or have it standing on a table top. Also, I’ve dropped the monitor screen like a million times and it’s still totally fine - no cracks, still working 100%. The camera rotates all over so it’s easy to make sure you have a good view on your LO. It apparently comes with some kind of zoom lens but I never used it. The positives: picture is really clear and you can zoom. You can add another camera and view it on the same monitor (which is what we will do for our second born). We’ve been using it daily for a year and a half and I like it. We got it for our baby shower for our first.
