If you have decided to go down the Video Monitor road, then this one is well worth a look. As a 'Video' Monitor this has a range of 150 metres (unobstructed) and as purely an 'Audio' Monitor, a range of up to 300 metres (unobstructed).

The monitor itself can be wall mounted or simply placed on a flat surface, either way the camera head can be fully rotated to find the best view.

During the night the infra red camera will give you and excellent view on the 2 1/2 inch colour monitor. The monitor can be set to only alert you when the baby stirs.

There is an option to set up three more cameras to the system allowing you to monitor up to four rooms at one time. In this mode, you can manually switch between cameras or use the 'auto scan' function which will scroll between locations.

Both units can be powered by mains; the parent unit has the option of rechargeable batteries which are included.

For an alternative, take a look at the NScessity 1.8" version.
