This is such a terrible baby monitor. It is static-y, you have to turn it up quite loud to be able to hear baby cry but then you end up hearing every single time baby tosses and turns, there was no 'happy medium' volume where you could hear baby sufficiently but not every other little sound, it picks up other radio sounds like crazy. And, if all that was not enough, it crapped out after the first few months. It is cheap, but there is a reason I believe that you get what you pay for with baby monitors and this one is not worth a cent.
