Best Baby Monitor?


I am researching monitors. I am looking for one with a camera, but I know some of them work better than others. Any suggestions on which one gives the best picture? Which one has less static? I've heard so many different reviews. I found one that I really like....

But the price is a bit high. I am also looking for 1 that has the option to add a 2nd camera. I have a 3 year old daughter also, and it would be nice to be able to watch her too.

We own this camera and overall LOVE it. We really like the fact that the screen is large. We tend to get a clear picture although sometimes there is some flickering. We remedy this by just moving it a little bit. It does not pose much of a nuisance for us. We can also move it around the house and not worry about it sucking up a ton of batteries (this was a major issue with our previous monitor - it just gobbled up batteries). We have never gotten images of other people. No issue there.

Warning though: It does not have the best audio. The lowest setting is somewhat loud for my tastes. However, we did not care about the audio as we can hear our baby cry just fine. Also, there are also only two channels with this monitor so you don't have a lot of room to search for a better connection.

If you want great audio to go with the screen, I would recommend looking into some monitors with small screens. The only downside to those is the battery issue.

On a final note, I would absolutely recommend investing in a video monitor. We used to have a regular audio monitor but kept rushing in every time we heard the baby cry. Unfortunately, many times she was just yelling in her sleep and we were the ones waking her up. The video monitor allows us to see if she is really awake or just in transition sleep. Lately, she has been rolling over in her sleep and it allows me to keep track of her. Great purchase!

All my friends also have that one. I have one set of friends that have an infant and a 3 year old and they bought 2 sets and found that they could go to each channel for each kid - so they only use one monitor and have 2 camera's set up. I'm not sure if you can buy just the camera's separately.

I also heard you can pick up images of other kids. I don't have that problem - I do live in a heavily populated neighborhood and don't have that problem. It would probably have to be a neighbor with the same monitors with the same frequency.

I own this one and love it. Portability really comes in handy! The image is clear and the sound is great. It can even pick up when they breath heavy (a good thing if the baby has any breathing problems). I have it pointed to the two cribs and it shows a perfect picture.

I have never picked up any noise or images from other monitors. My neighbors have a baby the same age and I've never heard them. The only time it gets a little static is when the cordless phone is in use and only the sound gets static.

Sorry, we don't have a camera monitor...but I just wanted to offer a bit of a warning (not to change your mind, but just so you know)...
A friend has a video monitor and LOVES it. She loves that she can see what her child is doing in her room and doesn't have to go in there to distrub her. (Her and her husband also laugh at some of the things she does!)
However, she said that they sometimes pick up images from a neighbors monitor as well. So they know if they can see someone elses child, someone is probably seeing theirs as well. Just wanted to pass that along
