GREAT LCD PICTURE...TERRBLE AUDIO!!! DON'T BUY!!!
GREAT CONCEPT , LCD, PAN/TILT BUT....IT IS TOO BAD THEY COUDLN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE A PRODUCT W/O ALL OF THE STATIC AND CRACKING! IT IS HORRIBLE. NOT MUCH GOOD IF YOU HVE TO KEEP THE VOLUME OFF & STARE AT THE PICTURE. I HAVE TRIED ALL OF THE CHANNELS, AND MANY LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT OUR HOUSE AND IT IS ALWAYS VERY LOUD. CAN'T WAIT TO GET A REPLACEMENT AND BE FREE FROM THE NOISE AND INTERUPTIONS AT NIGHT!!! I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT SUMMER INFANTS MONITOR!

Bought 3 of them.
Started with this unit, thought I could do better for a little more money.
Bought the BEBE SOUNDS TV900.. hated it.. terrible picture in comparison to the Nortech. Not even close. You do have to experiment a bit with placement of the receiver and camera to get the best reception but once you do it is very clear...even in the dark. Better night vision than the Bebe Sounds unit by far. We have one receiver upstairs and one receiver down stairs. Bought this at the locals Sams Club for $99. You cannot buy the cameras separately anymore but at $99 for the receiver and camera combo it's a better deal anyhow. Only draw back I found is that the scan feature is useless unless you have all 3 camera's hooked up. There is no way to get the receiver to scan only 2 channels... otherwise it works great for us.

Not a baby monitor to buy
This monitor comes in different names but is made by the same manufacturer. Also beware that the newer version that has the greater pan and tilt capability isn't any better. This might be useful as a security monitor if it doesn't leave an a/c outlet for more than an hour and if it sits on a desk that's higher than your body. Issues I found: 1. When I turned on my microwave the speaker screeched and the monitor was unusable. 2. If the monitor was on a table and you walked toward it (within a few feet) the display would go out and the audio would give you a buzzing noise. 3. The pan and tilt feature barely worked- Monitor was downstairs and the camera's upstairs. Less than 60 ft. I had to go upstairs to get them to work. (I don't have wireless or a 2.4 GHz phone) 4. The volume control was extremely touchy. It went from 0 to loud with barely a touch. I liked the concept but the product needs some tweaking for it to be a baby monitor.

Reasonably Priced -- Only Moderate Picture Quality
I purchased this camera both for a 'lazy install' front door security camera and as well general-purpose around the house monitoring. Compared to commercial security cameras and hi-end baby monitors this was reasonably priced (<$200). Since the camera is wireless installation is convenient, as long as you've got a plug for the AC adaptor. Its plastic and somewhat flimsy, so is better suited as a counter-top baby monitor than a security camera (unless you can install in a dry, secure location). The remote video receiver is convenient (about the size of a video iPod), but consumes a lot of battery power, which means you'll either require the AC adapter for on-going video monitoring (in reach of an AC wall socket) or use the batteries only for periodic monitoring. The picture quality is "ok" -- I was expecting better overall picture quality considering today's technology and a 2.4GHz signal -- and I corraborate other reviews here that unless you're only a few feet away expect a lot of picture static -- which is annoying. The camera has a built-in microphone, but the static is so bad it rendors the audio useless (another dissappointment -- and likely a show-stopper as a baby monitor if you can't get a clean signal).
But the 10 infrared LEDs provide a reasonably good night-time picture (actually, the picture quality is much the same, from bright sun-light to pitch black). So overall the camera has been useful. Fun note: Had a Gambell's Quail nest in a bush outside so I placed the camera right by the nest (yes, w/a rain cover) to monitor mom on her eggs -- have learned a lot about how Quails tend to their eggs. This was an unexpected, pretty cool use for this camera.

for what it is
First off you have to know that even though this thing has pan and tilt does not mean it is high tech. It is not truely wireless either, the camera has to be plugged in to power. I will say that it come in handy for keeping an eye on the little ones especially the pan and tilt. If you have the extra money spend it on a better one if not well you see what i have said
