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."

looking for a baby monitor?
Stella
I am looking for a baby monitor that will work best in my situation.
It will be used in a 2 story townhouse and only for nap times when he is sleeping upstairs and I am downstairs. I don't need it to work outside b/c we don't have a yard. It needs to work with wireless internet without static interference. I am not interested in a motion mat or video. I'd like to find a good one that is relatively inexpensive.
We bought a fisher price one but it has too much static.
Answer
You will find static on all that are analog --- just to varying degrees. Digital monitors aren't prone to interference like analog monitors are. So, digital ones don't get interference from other devices.
I've had two monitors that I really like ... one digital and one analog.
The digital one is by Safety First. It had no static interference, good battery life and good range:

The analog one is Sony Baby Call. It does have static, but it has "noise sensing technology" so when the level of ambient noise in the room is constant it shuts off --- so you hear absolutely nothing. When the noise changes (ie: your baby crying, moving around etc) it will turn on. It also has 27 channels to choose from so you are likely to find one with minimal static interference. And, because it shuts off you won't hear any noise coming from the monitor when your baby is asleep.
