The reason I ask is because I just bought one off Amazon but the video quality is SO much worse (both night vision and daytime) than our old Motorola monitor (MBP36). I'm going to call Motorola tomorrow but just wondered what your experience was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-fave-double-video-monitor#post-2083361 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 12:13:43 +0000 mrsjyw 2083361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: BuyBuyBaby exchanged It for us w no issues! The second time they told me I'd need to contact Motorola directly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-fave-double-video-monitor#post-2083355 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 12:12:38 +0000 QBbride 2083355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Was your monitor still under warranty when they replaced it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-fave-double-video-monitor#post-2083265 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 11:20:49 +0000 PinkElephant 2083265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very happy with our Summer Infant dual view - we've been using it for about 10 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-fave-double-video-monitor#post-2083212 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 10:50:51 +0000 mrsjyw 2083212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an extra camera for our motorola monitor from our travels. We'll be setting that up in the nursery for LO#2. (We have had the monitor replaced two times.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-fave-double-video-monitor#post-2083175 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 10:27:18 +0000 ladybee 2083175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: true but I don't see ours lasting much longer. https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-fave-double-video-monitor#post-2083158 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 10:19:37 +0000 QBbride 2083158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: there will probably be something better once you have your next LO! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-fave-double-video-monitor#post-2083135 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 10:10:38 +0000 ladybee 2083135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: @getjazzy: our monitor is on the verge of dieing since DH let LO play with it so much. Lesson learned too late. :silly: </p> <p>He's only 16 months and we are a year from trying. That price is amazing! I think when the time comes I'll be getting that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-fave-double-video-monitor#post-2083129 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 10:05:41 +0000 getjazzy 2083129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: How funny is that! :happy: The battery seems good for me! On the weekends we use it on battery for roughly 2-2.5 hours while DS naps and then from the time he goes to bed until we do, which is another 3 or so? And the battery usually lasts that long depending on how many times I've turned the screen on (it auto shuts off but still monitors audio unless you press the button to activate the screen again). If DS has been especially active or fussy and I'm spending a lot of time watching the screen then I might get the low battery message a bit before we go to bed but in my books, it's still pretty good battery life. I plug it in over night every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-fave-double-video-monitor#post-2083050 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 09:21:47 +0000 QBbride 2083050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@getjazzy: our LO's are the same age! DS is 20 months and I'm due in July!!</p> <p>Does the battery life seem better to you with the newer one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-fave-double-video-monitor#post-2083035 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 09:14:37 +0000 chopsuey 2083035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Motorola worked well for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-fave-double-video-monitor#post-2083024 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 09:11:04 +0000 getjazzy 2083024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: That is a fantastic price! I think we paid .. $300? $350 even? It was around christmas time when it was first released. Thank goodness we had over $200 in gift cards. It felt expensive but to me I'll be using a monitor for a while yet (LO1 is 20 months and LO2 is due in August) so I wanted something that wasn't crappy like our first one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-fave-double-video-monitor#post-2082988 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 08:51:35 +0000 QBbride 2082988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@getjazzy: ahh it's on sale for $220 on Amazon! That seems like a really good price! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-fave-double-video-monitor#post-2082983 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 08:49:18 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2082983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an Infant Optics (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Infant-Optics-Digital-Monitor-Vision/dp/B0052QYLUM" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Infant-Optics-Digital-Monitor-Vision/dp/B0052QYLUM</a>) which we are happy with. It has a sleep mode, so it turns itself off it there is no noise or movement on the camera. You can have up to 4 cameras. We currently only have 1, but will add a second when we have another LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-fave-double-video-monitor#post-2082951 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 08:30:11 +0000 getjazzy 2082951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just upgraded to the newest motorola double video (MBP43 I think?) and we love it but I haven't used the second camera yet (LO2 isn't due until August). My one complaint is that sometime I get the low reception alarm in my living room which isn't far from DS bedroom at all however the monitor does work outside, so I think there's a funny spot in my living room that has something that blocks the signal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-fave-double-video-monitor#post-2082948 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 08:26:51 +0000 SeptMomma12 2082948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been looking at the Summer Infant side-by-side one, but no experience yet. Reviews seem to be mixed. We've been very happy with our regular Summer Infant monitor - no problems at all - but it's too old to find a second camera for :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-fave-double-video-monitor#post-2082933 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 08:06:12 +0000 ValentineMommy 2082933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wondering the same exact thing! We have the motorola single one right now as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-fave-double-video-monitor#post-2082927 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 07:59:43 +0000 QBbride 2082927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Motorola monitor but I'm not super impressed with it, the battery life was never great and the battery just died. Before I replace it, are there any other double video monitors I should look at (baby #2 is on the way). If I stick with the Motorola monitor I'll have to buy a second camera anyway, so just looking for opinions! </p>
