A sleep deprived mother of 4 week old twins. I am beyond grateful that I traded in the monitor I received at the baby shower for this video monitor system. The ability to peek in without having to drop everything every time you hear the kids stirring is worth ever penny spent! The added ability of using a 2nd video camera with the same viewing console is also a great feature for my situation as well. The only draw back it some interference here and there but overall I say it is a great monitor!
