Dear Parents, We have read a lot of expensive to cheap and all have good and bad Rezisionen. We did not know what to buy! So I got to my wife said we buy this! it's cheap and does not require batteries, if it is good for nothing, it goes just back. I must say we are excited: 1. there roars nix 2. the parent part can be regulated in the volume 3. if there is no connection to the baby unit is beeping the parent that we only noticed because we have deliberately turned off the baby unit. the reach we have not tested, it is enough for us in any case. 4.The sensitivity is correct is not too fast, nor too late For securing you have to stop being creative and working with an extension if not equal to an electrical outlet is nearby. I got a triple manifold with drawstrings attached to the cot, watch out! the parent can safely plug into an electrical outlet near the bed, is yes Adjustable volume. I would buy the baby monitor again and again!
