Review: This system is everything that other systems were not. - Very good picture quality, self contained electronic signal and system. It works on the strength of its own signal so a WIFI system is of no use to this system. That means you can use the system where ever there is 110 outlets. I tried other camera systems which use various APP's and for the senior citizens using this system the app was too complicated. This system uses its own monitor, which is very portable, very user friendly and has a goof picture quality, Being able to speak to the person on the camera end is very helpful. You can always hear them when you have the monitor volume turned up but they can't hear you unless you push the button to talk. The cameras are truly plug and play. Very easy to use. The remote control unit being it's own unit and not an APP on the cell phone is very handy as often, the app on the phones would mean having the phone in the same room and it could ring and there goes your opportunity for peace and quiet. You can connect up to 4 cameras and I did for the system I installed to help friends. Cameras are numbered based upon how they are initially activated. The entire system is very easy to use, works even better than I had hoped and makes this incredibly difficult job my friends have of caring for their 97 year old sister in law a little easier. This product is incredible and easy to use. Many of the other systems and cameras I tried for their needs were not easy to use and didn't work as marketed. Thank you for providing a system which works, works very well and does what its supposed to, and is easy to use. It shocking how many systems can't or don't do this......
Review: Monitor unit that goes with this camera will fail just outside the warranty period, coincidentally - Update on 12/15/2020: The replacement monitor that was provided by the company, under warranty, failed at just 1 year, the screen freezes and I have to remove the battery and disconnect the power to reset it before putting it back to turn on again. Imagine your child crying and you have no idea because the monitor froze in the middle of the night. Customer service says its out of warranty, fair enough, but don't expect to buy this and use it for more than 1 year, 3-ish years max if it failed in the warranty period and they replace it for you. They offer me either to pay 45 to repair it, which includes shipping or 50% off to buy the new monitor. Imagine buying an Iphone and it fails after the warranty period is over and you have to pay to repair it or buy a new one at a discount, without assurance that it will last more than 1 year. This unit is not cheap and $165 for monitor and camera, then another $100 for an additional camera. I paid close to $300 for this thing and now its worthless. Correction to my initial review, not worth buying anymore. Original review: I purchased this about a year and a half ago when my twins were born, plus the additional camera so I could have one camera on each child. Recently, the monitor unit would not turn on and I was outside the warranty period. I contacted customer service and they walked me through a couple of steps to test the unit and see if we could reset it, that failed. They were so kind to provide me a replacement unit, I had to ship the broken one back. Kristine was very helpful throughout the whole process and walked me through everything step by step. One of the features I particularly like about this unit is the temperature monitor, since temperatures can differ from room to room, it allows me to adjust the thermostat accordingly so it doesn't get too hot for them in the summer or too cold for them in the winter. Picture quality is really good, quality is affected by the distance, so test how far you want to place the camera before mounting it, mine are mounted on the wall pointing downward. This is an expensive unit, but good product and good company. Worth buying.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this additional camera be placed in a different room to monitor 2 kids in 2 different rooms at the same time?**
A: Yes it sure can! The parental unit has a scan mode that flips through the cameras every 30 seconds. I prefer this to a split screen monitor because then I still get the sound.

**Q: When monitoring two rooms, if scanning one room and sound is detected in the other will I still hear it?**
A: No, you would only hear the active room. We use the scan1 setting, it's fairly quick, probably 5 seconds or so. Hasn't been an issue.

**Q: Once mounted to the wall, is the camera easy to remove for frequent travel?**
A: Yes, you just put a screw in the wall and the camera hooks on to screw. And you just slide camera up to remove from the screw, very easy to remove and replace camera.

**Q: Is there anyway a shelf for me to mount on the wall?**
A: No, shelf is not included. There's a hole on the back of the camera for mounted. This shelf would be a good solution.
