Baby monitors?

redjetta22

My two will each be in their own rooms. I definitely still want the older to have a baby monitor in his room for a long while, so I think we will either need two sets of monitors or one with two bases (which I've never seen). I've been pleased with our current one (graco secure coverage). If I got another set of the same kind, with they interfere or mess up in such close range? What kind of set up works well?

We have this one, which is one touch screen monitor that can have up to 4 cameras (we have 2 currently hooked up).  It's Summer Infant Baby Touch and we got an additional camera.  It scans both rooms every 8 seconds or something like that, so we can keep tabs on my toddler and my newborn.  Works really good for us!  I also like that I can control the cameras from the monitor, so I can zoom, rotate, and move the camera up and down just from using the monitor!  I also love that there is a talk back feature, like an intercom.  I can talk to my toddler using the monitor without having to go upstairs or yell for her, it's so convenient and my DD loves that she always has me close even though I am not in the room with her!

 Others also have a Motorola monitor that is similar and also has great reviews.  So you can go with either one I think, I think it's just preference.  HTH!

I have two audio monitors of different brands and they don't interfere.  I believe most monitors can be set to multiple channels, so if you get the same brand, I would just set them to different channels.

We had the Summer Slim Video for #1.  Then we bought an additional camera for #2.  Works fine.

We have the Motorola digital video monitor with two cameras. It flips between the two rooms every 12 seconds (or you can just have it on one room). We LOVE it. It shows the temp in each room, it can play lullabies, and you can talk to your kid through it. And like other video monitors, you can zoom in and pan around the room and all that.
