Video Monitors?

Anyone have any experience or recommendations?  We are wanting one with an extra camera so we can have one in DS's room and LO's room.

    The Motorola video monitors get the best reviews and you can add an extra camera.

    We have the motorola video monitor with two cameras.  We bought it after our Summer Infant broke after <1 year. The motorola is definitely superior but the battery life is short so we keep it plugged in most of the time (which is not a big deal).

    I am doing a Fosco model from Best Buy that isn't technically a baby monitor per say, however it is better quality, works with your iPhone, works on your wifi, and is a great deal less expensive.

    Motorola Mpb 36 wins hands down for me!

    We also gave the Fosco and love it. Because it is programmed with our iPhones, I can sneak a peak from work to see if LO is napping well.
    It is difficult to install, so make see someone has techs know how if you get it.

    We had the Summer Infant and it did fine for 2 years but the static was horrible.

    We just recently purchased the Motorola MPB36/2 and we love it!!!

    This. The picture is pretty good, but the static/interference is sometimes a bit crazy. It gets the job done for us though.. no real complaints.

    Sweet! I worked for Geek Squad for several years while going to college so thankfully I've still got some tech blood in me.

    I have the lower model motorola and its a POS, it died within 9 months, the new one is the MBP 28 and the screen is red, sound sucks and video is worse.. I can't see spending $300 on the montiors by them but those seem to be the only ones that work.

    We picked up a Foscam when they were $63 on amazon the other day.  I plan on following this blog post to set it up. :)

    I received the motorola monitor for my shower, but I realized I would rather have something we could access from our iphones/ipad and from remote access.

    I just bought the dropcam off amazon- It's awesome. I hooked it up in about 2 minutes.  I am currently spying on my pets from work.  I like that both DH and I would have our own monitors and we can access it from anywhere.  

    It has a talk feature and adjustments for sound.  

    It's $150 for one camera vs $249 for the motorola. You can add more cameras.

    We got the motorola mbp34 when it was on sale on BRU for black friday. I would never pay over $200 so at $139 I picked it up and so glad I did, love it!
