Gives piece of mind.
Before we had our son, we would laugh at these, wondering who needed to see their baby 24/7. After we moved him into his own room however, things changed. Everytime he cried we would hold our breath "Does it sound like he is against the bumper?" I would ask my wife. "You think he pulled his arm out of the swaddle?" she would reply. So, we got one of these and it was amazing. Anytime we heard cries from the nursery we could turn this on and see that he was fine. Instead of filling with apprehension, we could check on him, see he was fine, and go back to sleep. This camera had excellent night vision. It would seem almost totally back in his room, but on the screen it would be as light as day. The microphone is powerful and clear. The only thing I don't like about this product is the battery. After a few months the hand held monitor would not hold a charge for more than 10-15 minutes, making us keep it plugged in. this was annoying, but not too much of a concern as we mainly needed it in the middle of the night. All in all, a great product that I could not imagine not having around.
