I originally purchased this monitor for its additional features, including video monitoring, the sound effects, and projection.
The reception often cuts in and out to the parent monitor, only being in the next room, so not very far away at all.
The sound effects go off by themselves after only about 15 minutes, which is not very effective when your infant either takes longer to fall asleep than that or if they like constant noise through naps or at night. It would be better if the sound effects had a timer or a continuous function.
The projection function works great though and stays on continuously until you shut it off.
For the cost of the monitor, there are much better options on the market.

I received this monitor as a baby shower present back in march. We did not use it until my son was born in May and it is already not working! The video part of the monitor flashes and does not give you a clear picture at night anymore! I loved this monitor when we first used it but it does not last. I am now going through the warranty process so we will see how that goes!
