I can't believe how this monitor ever made it to the market. OK. It's got an interesting idea - but work on the basic stuff first: the radio communication between transmitter and receiver. The baby sees pretty lights and mom and dad hear loud, indiscernible static. Baby could be choking in his sleep, but mom and dad would be happily listening to static. What a joke. We got this as a gift, and it's on it's way back. Leaving the doors open to the baby's nursery would work better than hooking up this monitor.
