This monitor works for long distances, but it's not a very user friendly monitor. My children's room is about 180 feet from ours, so tge regular monitors I tried didn't work. This Fisher-Price one does, but it also has lots of static, so every night I wage a battle between turning it up enough to hear my kids but then needing to turn it down to quiet the static. The volume dial isn't very sensitive, so it's easy to turn the monitor up too high or down too low. The green light that shows the monitor is on is very bright, so I usually throw a towel over it or the room is bathed in a green glow. All that said, though, the monitor does work over "long" distances - we've gotten it to go about 300 feet - so I'm satisfied.
We purchased the Fisher-Price Long Distance 900MHz Monitor for our new baby's room. Like all Fisher-Price products, this has very simple and durable form factors.
However, though it looks like a toy (and therefore fits right in with a small child's room), it is packed with reliable technology. The "broadcast" base has excellent gain -- we have it on a shelf *across* the room from the crib, with no loss of sound quality or coverage. The wide, flat base also doubles a large "night light" that can be turned on or off.
The single remote receiver has an integrated power and volume dial, so it is extremely easy to use. It also has a series of red LEDs that show the strength of broadcasted sounds, giving a visual as well as audio cue when the baby cries. It has a sturdy belt clip built into the casing.
Our home is brick, and our lot nearly an acre -- but the signal strength has been excellent everywhere we've taken the receiver. With four different "channels" to choose from, we have had no interference from our other wireless devices (e.g., cordless phones, network wi-fi access point, etc.).
I highly recommended this device for parents who want peace of mind, and can make-do with a single receiver.
