We are using this to track my mother who is in hospice in her bedroom. Here are some facts that may influence your decision to as to whether to buy this unit or a different one.

Cons: Does not charge battery. So you are either using it powered, or running it off the un-rechargeable battery, or have it off. At 49MHz, it's "buzzy".

Ours was a dud. It must be the luck of the draw. I tried all of the trouble shooting suggestions and nothing worked.

Too many batteries,

This review is from: Safety 1st Sound View Monitor (Baby Product)
This monitor not only has to much statitic but it goes through one 9 volt battery every few days and we don't use it any time execpt when the baby is taking her nap. 9 volt are probably the most expensive battery. Invest in a nicer model and you'll save money in the end.
