Video monitors for multiples?

Hi all, I had been using our old BT monitor for our triplet babies but it's started switching itself off so time to get a new one.
Can anyone recommend a video monitor that works well for more than one baby? Didn't have video with our son last time but now think it would be useful as it's hard to tell which baby is making a noise!
Thanks

We got this after our twins were born and we needed to replace our old, broken and similar monitor.

It is brilliant. I could put it in the corner of the room, zoom in to whoever I wanted to see, it has talk back too so was especially good for the older two/now the twins are bigger.

The viewing handset is a good sized picture, very portable and has a good battery life.

I still use it now to keep and eye on proceedings when I need to be elsewhere.

We got a Motorola video monitor that pans around so I could see both babies. It started off fine, but within a few months turned useless - we can't see anything really on the monitor.

I've gone back to my old BT (non-video) one. I had to change the batteries in it - have you tried that?

I second the summer infant one that minis linked to. I have that and bought a second camera to have one in each DC room. I think you can link up to four cameras. Works really well, good visibility, easy to zoom and scan. If you have more than one camera linked to the monitor you either manually select which camera to look at, or have it on scan which shows each camera for 8 sec.

Thanks for all the tips - I changed the batteries (didn't think of that!!) and it's working now but I might still get a video one so appreciate the recommendations. Thanks!
