I received these monitors for my baby shower. Great in the beginning. After about 1 year, the battery dies very quickly. I have to keep them plugged in at all times.

This monitor was okay... The talk back feature was nice, especially as my child got older I was able to tell him I would be right there if he was calling for me. The range was good on the unit as well, and had some nice features such as the night light and the different alert options (buzz, vibrate etc.) The biggest issue with this monitor was that it would start beeping in the middle of the night and display "not linked" on the screen, the beeping would carry on unless you shut the monitor off and re-linked it. Sometimes it would happen more than once a night, it was very irritating.
Then randomly one day it would not re-link at all, so now the monitor does not work, tried all the trouble shooting ideas I could find. Research some other options prior to purchasing a baby monitor.
