" ... I have 3 camera set up between bedrooms and a playroom and I am so happy with it. ... "
" ... Coming from Motorola this is an amazing camera system and monitor! ... "
" ... Just now getting an add on camera bc we are expecting baby #2. ... "
" ... Overall great camera! ... Also, the camera has to be plugged in, so a little challenging to find a good spot for it that is also next to a plug — wish the camera was also re-chargeable for when u want to move it somewhere else temporarily (not sure if that’s common or not with other devices). ... "
" ... We have been very happy with the quality of both the monitor and camera. ... "
