Video Monitors?

[trixi282]

We're considering buying a video monitor for Nugget this time around.  We only had an audio one with J and it was fine, there were times I wished we had a video, but also times I was glad we didn't, haha! 

With everything going on with this one though H is thinking it would give us additional piece of mind, and we could still use the audio one for J for when we're downstairs in the new house (even though we've been ok without it the last few months at his parents house).

Give me your recommendations for your video monitors ladies, I'm clueless and there are about 4 million of them out there.  

Plus Target is having a big promotion on baby stuff right now, and some of the monitors have additional gift cards with purchase, hehe... not that I would choose one based soley on that, but its a nice bonus!

I don't have a true video monitor, but we got a video camera that connects to an app on our phone. It's worked well so far. And it was only $30 on sale on woot.com, which was good because we didn't want to spend too much.

Motorola it what we have. I lovs that it shows the temp and you can talk back

Our audio one was Motorola too, and we liked it, so I was looking at those.

We have to Motorola video monitor and love it. We still use it since Emma sleeps on a different floor than we do, still working great! She is terrified of the 'talk back' feature though and wouldn't sleep in her room for a week after the first time I used it. She's got a big imagination about 'scary things' in her room though.

We use the motorola with two cameras for the boys. Love it. Love the temp feature. Love the scan feature. Love that it pans the room.

One annoying point is that every few weeks the sound goes out. That just means the camera needs to reset (turn on/off). All the amazing makes that part okay, though.

Thanks ladies - it seems like motorolla is a popular choice! If we get one I think I'll just get one of the basic ones... the baby sale ends today, so we'll see!

Motorola is the one we've got as well. We had no problems with it as well until the cord wore out. Nothing a Little electoral tape didn't fix.

Another vote for Motorola. We have the older model of this one and love it (and still use it!): www.target.com/p/motorola-digital-3-5-video-baby-monitor-mbp36s/-/A-14086054#prodSlot=medium_1_22

This is what we have. There's also a free viewing app so you can use it in your phone.
We use the Motorola one when we go on vacation. I don't like that you can't adjust the aim or the camera from the monitor like I can with the Easy N.

We also have the older model of this one.  It's great.  The ability to talk back and the remote pan/tilt are great features.

I was looking at that one last night! They have the same one, just a step down (smaller screen) for $50 less too that I was comparing. Glad
two of you like it!
