There are 5 level of sound-activated lights indication on parent unit depends on the audio level picked up from the child. This is very helpful and enable you to keep track of your infant while you are doing house chores like vacuuming or listen to music.
Customer Opinion:
We had a look at customer’s opinion of the Motorola MBP8 Digital Audio Monitor and they love it. The reviews on Amazon were mainly 5 star with majority complimenting the sound quality and range supported. The only drawback would be mobility where the parent unit cannot be carried around easily as it has to be plugged into the power outlet. There are a few bad reviews about the reception quality and LED lightning but it is just very few reviews. We feel you should really check it out and you will be really happy with it, especially at the LOW price of under $20 for good quality product from Motorola.
