I purchased this video monitor in September. Due to several different gift cards I bought the single camera system from Amazon and an additional camera from Walmart. About 3 weeks after getting them one of the cameras suddenly had no sound. The hand held part would register with the lights at the top that my 3 year old was making noises but no sound would come through. After undoing the cord from the camera and then replugging it in, it was fine again. It has happened 2 times now with that one. Now suddenly the same thing happened with the camera in my baby's room. Thankfully I was awake and new he was up or he could have been crying and I never would have known.
Has anyone else with this monitor had these problems? It's so frustrating especially for how much these things cost. At first I thought it was random but since its been two different cameras purchased from two different places I'm wondering if this is more common. I also wondered if it is the hand held part but since it begins to work again if the cameras are replugged in I am doubting that.
Sorry that was long and I haven't had any coffee yet. Thank for any thoughts.
Re: Motorola MBP36 Monitor
We have the same problem with ours. The weird thing is, it is only the one in DD2's bedroom. Even if we switch cameras, it only happens in DD2's room. Very frustrating considering we spend a little money to have a nicer monitor. I have been bugging DH to contact them about a solution, but he hasn't followed through yet.
ETA: FWIW, we purchased the bundle through Amazon
