How do they work?
What are the pros and cons?
I am thinking about buying one that you can have two monitors and see two rooms at once and was wondering how many people prefer it.

Congrats on baby #2!
I couldn't live with out my video monitor!! I have the Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor. The picture is so clear both at night and during the day. I love being able to check on my baby with out waking her. I don't even have to get out of bed unless she really needs me! I think if I only had the audio, I would have been getting up a lot more often to investigate every sound, especially during the first few months. The handheld part has a button on top so you can turn off the video screen if the light bothers you at night. Then if you hear something you feel you need to check on, simply click the button and the video comes back on. I read the reviews for this product. Many people say they could not get a signal. I never had a problem. I also read that they can interfere with wi-fi. My husband is a web developer... he never would have allowed wi-fi interference!
I highly recommend this monitor to all my friends. The only con I can think of is that I have had to change the channel due to static. Seriously, it's a flick of a button and I've had to do it maybe 3 times in 7 months. No biggie! I know you can get an extra camera for this monitor, but I don't need one yet. Here is what one person commented: "We bought a second camera to go with the monitor we already had. I love being able to switch back and forth between my two kids' rooms. Only issue is if the monitor is too close to one camera, you can have interference when trying to check on the other one."

Do you still need to use batteries for something that has a mains adaptor?
Tanya-Lovi
I want to buy a baby monitor. But every description i have read for them so far reads "Mains adaptor included for parent unit. Parent unit batteries required 1 x 3.6V Lithium-ion". So i am unsure as to whether this means that the batteries are optional, should you wish to not plug it in. Or whether i need to use both. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Gosh... "K - There was no need for that bitchiness... Grow up"!
Answer
How most of them work is that the parent station plugs into the wall, hence charging the rechargeable battery (which are usually included). Battery use is optional if you plan on keeping the handheld device in the charger at all times, but it is quite convenient to carry around with you to keep an ear open for baby. So yes, for optimal use you would use both.
This is the one we purchased 3+ yrs. ago...still works dandy. It uses the rechargeable system I mentioned above. http://www.amazon.com/Secure-Coverage-Digital-Monitor-Parent/dp/B004AHKUHW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315347601&sr=8-1
