I have the Summer Infant one (the monitor sort of looks like it could be a thick iPhone) and we love it. We always have it plugged in, so I can't say anything about battery issues.

My cousin-in-law also uses the Summer Infant one and loves it! When we baby sat for her, the hubby and I also enjoyed it.

yes, thats how I use it almost all the time. It just has a power save mode so that when its not on the charger, the video shuts off bu the sound stays on. You jsut push the button on the top to turn the video back on.

We have the Motorola digital video monitor in the 2.8 inch size. It's been great so far! From what I remember it got pretty great reviews, although it was definitely on the expensive side. We've been keeping it plugged in for now, so haven't really tested the battery life yet...

I'm thinking about getting the Motorola one with an extra camera, one for each of our LO's rooms. Right now we use the Levana monitor which I really like but it doesnt pan and zoom (awesome!).

@livsmama: Oh really? Cool! Will have to check that one out then! Thanks!

We had the smaller motorola, the handheld one. It worked fine, but we never really used it that much. We live in an apartment all on one floor, I suspect if we had a house with a yard we'd have used it more.

I got a cheap monitor and it works wonderfully!

@miss-spunkin: Yep. I would definitely get something that makes you happy and that has all the features you want! It's an investment that's worth it!

@miss-spunkin: yes i had two other brands too that both really sucked. i loved my summer infant monitors.... it was just that they died. the motorola has a bunch of nifty features. my favorite is the thermometer so i know just how warm/cool the room is as the heating in our apt is different from room to room.

We got the Motorola with the 3.5 inch screen. While baby girl isn't here just yet, we've had fun with it so far (really like the pan and zoom feature, I think itll come in handy when baby becomes a little more mobile and starts moving around in her crib). The picture quality is really, really good (I have some friends who have Summer video monitors and the picture quality is mediocre)

We also got the summer infant babyTouch color monitor. Works great so far.

We also have the smaller Motorola one. I really like it and the sound is pretty decent. I haven't been able to use this feature yet but it has a microphone button that you can press and talk to the baby without having to actually be in the room!

does anyone have experiance with the graco true focus? it got pretty good reviews on amazon & the price point is right in the middle of the market...

@Crumbs: Customer service wasn't super helpful, but my monitor is working again at least. When it works, I really like it.

Hmm I wonder why there are specific dates on this post?

To the question, I have a Foscam, and I love it. It wasn't super easy to set up (the software part) and I had to watch an instructional youtube video to figure out how to make it so that we could access the feed on our phones (both inside and outside of the house) but I haven't had any problems with it at all.
