This monitor has excellent features and works very well. I am very happy with the features and performance of this monitor. Any complaints I have are not serious enough for me to rate this monitor as anything but excellent.
Cons:
-I really dislike the flashing band of lights and I wish that it could be turned off. It is bright enough to disturb my sleep and I have to place the monitor face down on my night stand. Even then, sometimes I throw a t-shirt over it.
-The screen scratches more easily than I would have hoped.

Pros:
- The battery life is exceptional. Amazing really. We do utilize Peep Mode, so I can't attest to how long it would last if left on.
- Video Quality is excellent.
-Peep Mode- This was the most important feature for us. I purchased a top of the line monitor that was highly rated. I returned it after one nap. It had an open mic. I prefer to only have the monitor click on when my son is crying. I can successfully hear him, without having to hear the background noise of his room or the music from the crib aquarium.

I can't say how this will work with 2 as my second baby is not due for a few weeks. I am planning to use the monitor that I already had (AngelCare) for the first little while. My understanding is that you can not use Peep Mode with the 2 cameras. As I mentioned this is a deal breaker for me, so using the second monitor seems like the best option for the time being.
Long review, but I really put a lot of time and thought into the monitor I purchased, so I wanted to people to have the information that I wanted when I was looking. I am very happy with this purchase so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been looking for a monitor to replace the Summer Infant that I had used with my son, for the last 2+ years, as baby #2 is on the way. I was happy with that monitor, but I could not purchase an extra camera for it. I thought I would buy another SI monitor, but was hugely disappointed to find out that every monitor they now make is LOUD. Even on the lowest setting, my son's "mama" that he called out one morning sounded like "MAAAAMAAA!". It even woke my husband, who never hears him. After many calls to their customer service, and hearing many different versions of different stories, I decided to stay away from them.
I have spent countless hours trying to find a monitor that has two cameras, isn't absurdly loud, doesn't get terrible reviews, and that has the feature to turn the picture off but still hear the baby/child. I even ordered a few that I ended up returning for one reason or another. So far, this monitor has been great. The lowest volume is perfect, and if you want it to be loud, the louder volumes are plenty loud. The picture is so much more clear than my last monitor. I can't believe how well I can see my son. I'm not one to "ooh" and "aah" over him, but I sometimes find myself starting at the mointor in disbelief that it is actually that clear! The battery life seems really long, although I do plug it in at night because I'm just not sure low long it would go for and worry it would die in the middle of the night. But I imagine it would possibly make it all the way through the night.
There are only two things that I don't like, and I can live with them. The first is the cords that hang down from the cameras. They are thick, black cords, and they are also too short to reach any of the outlets in either of my kids' rooms. And the outlets couldn't be much closer than they are. So we had to use extension cords, and it's not too pretty, but I'll get used to it. The second thing is the dinky little stand that is supposed to be supporting the weight of the base. It's off to one side and unless the base is on a completely flat surface, it falls over. It seems like such a silly thing to screw up, since it seems it would be the easiest thing to "get right". It really isn't a huge deal though. I'm getting used to it.
The pluses FAR outweigh the minuses, and I'm so beyond happy to have found this monitor. Thank you so much, Levana!!!!!!!!!

its a wonderful bb monitor. been using it for a month now. the battery keep its charge for a reasonable amount of time. I can see why some people want to take pictures or videos of what they see on monitor, that feature is not included. the only thing is my child goes from quiet coo to crying and the monitor sleep mode don't pic it up soon enough. the zoom is low pixel/ fuzzy doesn't help me much, besides that ,its a wonderful monitor I love how clear you see the screen and been able to pan to adjust is great.

I bought this after a friend told me how much she loved it! I love the fact that I can see my baby at all times and can even talk to her. It's easy to use, but it doesn't come with detailed instructions. The sound quality is fair. The big screen is a plus!

Stella Additional Camera

LOVE IT! Best monitor, I've had the monitor since 2014 and I just purchased an additional camera! The only thing I've needed was a replacement battery for the monitor so far. Customer service was great and sent a new one out ASAP since the battery I had was bubbly and fat (could hardly put the cover on the monitor). Great range too!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We just set up our new Stella monitor and LOVE it! The battery life is awesome, the screen is large, and best of all - the lullabies soothe our baby! I also like that there are no bright lights on the baby unit. Thanks for an awesome product.
