This little thing is great. Did have a little trouble trying to find a good place for it, but that’s mainly because we’re in an apartment and didn’t want to mount it to the wall. A low shelf near the bedside and we can see our almost 4 year old perfect! We can talk to him, see him very clearly, tell if his eyes are open or if he’s sleeping. It’s great! We can listen or mute him, etc. I do wish there wasn’t a delay in the speakers coming back up after you stop talking to the child on the other side, but that’s pretty much the only downside I could fins and it’s pretty minor. Not even enough to take a star away for me. We LOVE this thing! Great quality for $30. We wish we got this sooner, it would have saved stress!
