My sons are 4-months-old and five-years-old. I used this on the 4-month-old and it was easy to assemble and install in his room. We’ve previously only used a non-video monitor. I do a lot of work from home and we live in a house where my work computer is in the basement, so with our old monitor any time our 4-month-old would make a noise I would have to run upstairs to make sure he was OK. With this monitor I could hear him and see him. It’s been so nice to not constantly have to run upstairs to check on him!
This monitor has several features I love: First, it allows you to view up to four cameras at once! We are definitely going to buy another one and put it in our 5-year-olds’ room. It also has a power save mode, so the screen will go dark after 20 seconds, but the audio will remain on. I also like that I could plug it into a television monitor to view it (27 inches or smaller works best). The night vision works great as well (which is a black and white view). Overall, this is a great product!
Pros: Can view up to four cameras at once; night vision
Cons: Expensive
Rating: A
Just gotta try this Creamy Avocado Dip recipe via Momables.com - love how you can spread it on a sandwich in lieu of Mayo!

I have had this monitor for about 5 months now, and I agree, it is GREAT! However, I was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem I am. This is actually the second one we have had. The first one I returned because the battery was ALWAYS low. Plugged in, it would say it was fully charged, but as soon as I unplugged it, the battery went to almmost empty, no matter how long it was charging. So, I exchanged it for another one, thinking it was just defective. But, the second one does the same thing! Anyone else have this issue?

I had that issue once. Try taking out the battery for a few minutes then putting it back it before you plug the unit into the wall. If that doesn’t work, call customer service. They were very helpful. Good luck!
