I love this monitor! The parent unit can be plugged into the TV or VCR and u can tape precious moments with it if u don't have a proper video camera. when adjusting the veiw it doesnt work out which way is up so u get to see an upside down baby if it is hung from the wall. Very easy to check on bub without having to disturb them. My children self settle so when the seasons changed I used it to ensure that their sleeves were not part of their settling so that their sleep patterns would not be interrupted. It is easy to use but would be great to have vision only and sound only options. I really like this one because you can see them when u want to.
