Any thoughts on it?  This is the one we are looking to get for 2.  We have the summer slim and secure right now but don't love it and its gotten beaten up over the last 18 months.

    You made me interested in it so I looked it up.  On Amazon it only had one review, but it's enough to make me not buy it.  The girl gave it 1 star.  Here's what the review said...

    "

    If you are looking for a video monitor that allows you to monitor more than one child at night, DO NOT BUY THIS MONITOR! Although its described as a "Full Color Video and Audio Monitor" that "supports up to four cameras," audio does not work at all when using multiple cameras. Rather, if you're monitoring more than one child, you only have a split-screen view with no audio from any camera. Instead, if one of your children begins crying, the screen for the camera where the sound comes from merely turns green, but no warning sound is provided. So, if you're sleeping and one of your kids begins crying, you're not going to see the monitor light-up green to let you know (unless you sleep with your eyes open). After thoroughly reading through the instruction manual, I called Vtech support thinking that I had to be missing something, because not being able to hear your children cry on a baby monitor really defeats the whole purpose. To my chagrin, however, the Vtech support representative confirmed that there is no audio capabilities when in multicamera mode, and there is no audible notification available to at least let you know that sound is coming from one of the cameras. I told her that it blows my mind that a company can release a baby monitor without thinking through this feature (e.g., the Lorex monitor resolves the issue by automatically cycling through the audio for each camera every 15 seconds). She said that she would relay this information to their design team for future products. So if you EVER want to add a second monitor, DO NOT GET THIS Product.

    If, however, you only have one child and never want to expand, this is actually a fantastic montior. It's got better range than all other products on the market, the screen is crystal clear, and the price is great. The actual cameras, however, are enormous, but still mount on the wall."
     
    That's ridiculous that you wouldn't be able to hear the two separate rooms!  That defeats the entire purpose!
