We never used our monitor. Tori was plenty loud enough to hear.

I do understand that they might be useful in the event of an alien invasion, though.

We used to love listening to our neighbors fight over ours, and approach information for airlines (no kidding). Never much use for hearing the kids however... Hopefully the technology has advanced.

I can vouch for advancements. Our niece's is fantastic. Cordless, charges on a base, picks up sound great, big screen, night vision. At one point they were able to see that although she wasn't crying, she had stuck her leg in the crib slats. Not life threatening but pretty damn cool.

They also get to see how she plays and talks to herself before going to sleep. The images tell much more of a story than the noises.

Now I'm sure theirs cost a pretty penny, but I am hoping we are able to get something with a cam.

The video one's are awesome because if you hear something you can glance at the monitor and tell if it's just them being fussy or if there's really a reason to go in.

That's exactly why we got a video monitor. A lot of times Olivia would make sleep noises or wake up but not need us to come in.

Ours was a stand alone model but I have had friends who have security-like cameras that broadcast directly to their tvs so that they could watch picture in picture style.
