Doesn't work near Wi-Fi We hooked it up and got heavy interference from the wi-fi network. Turned the wi-fi off and the interference went away - but reception was still not perfect.
Also, the fact you have to take the batteries out to plug in the adapter on the receiver makes this a sub-par system.
Luckily there are (finally!) better products out there now! 3 years ago when we had our first baby, the options for video monitors were very slim. We now have a safety 1st 900 mhz set up that has great picture and good sound, and zero interference from the wi-fi (though it does not have outstanding reception).
Look around and you'll find a better option.
Decent system We have one camera in our 2-year old's room and one in our infant's crib. Good color picture when there is enough light. Nice to see if either kid has his eyes open or closed from outside of the room. Good sound transmission. Poor night vision picture - in low light you can't see much even if the camera is very close to your subject - it is essentially a glorified audio baby monitor. As such, we don't use the night vision option.
Nice to be able to switch from room to room on the receiver. We usually use it on manual and keep it on the room of interest at the time.
No interference with our wireless internet set-up. Receiver buzzes when our microwave is on. Had rather loud feedback when our 5.8 GHz phone system was on, but I changed to a DECT 6.0 system and all is well.
I'd suggest purchasing the system from somewhere that allows for a return if it doesn't satisfy you. I'm happy with ours and I even purchased a second camera once I tried out the first one. But I did have to change a few things to make it work for us.
I am happy with it! This is my second baby monitor purchase since my baby (now 15 months) was born. This is an easy to use monitor that displays a clear image of my baby (I can even see if his eyes are open in the dark!). Great buy.
Nice addition I love the flexability having extra cameras offer. Images are crisp and clear. This night vision does not work well in a blacked out room, but with as little as a night light going, the picture is excellent.
Indoor Camera Only Will not work outside even on a dry day. Works great inside the house.
