Baby : Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor 1.8" Screen White

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - HATE IT!
I've had to deal with interference from the 1st day I used it, but after about 4 months, the screen burnt out. So now all i hear is static when i expected to hear and see my baby!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent! I defintly will recommend this product to my friends!
I am very happy with the monitor. It is very easy to use and the battery lasts for a long time. The picture quality could be better, but it is great to be able to "check" on the little one while she sleeps and plays in her crib without having to go into her room and disturb her. Money well spent!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Can't live without it!
"Hands down the best thing I received as a baby shower gift. No sound interception at all, excellent image even in pitch dark. You can even see your baby breathing the image is so good. It saved me during sleep training and helped keep me from needlessly entering his room and thus waking him."



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Finally - a static-free video monitor!
We just had a new baby and bought this to replace our Sony MobiCam that we've been using with our toddler. I couldn't bring myself to buy another MobiCam camera since the picture on the first one is so bad. It is definitely our house, as the MobiCam works elsewhere (sometimes) but at home the picture has a lot of interference and the sound is useless. We decided to spring for the Summer monitor and cross our fingers that it would work... and it DOES! The picture is totally clear with no lines, static, or fuzz. The sound even works too... I was surprised to hear every gurgle and sniffle of the new baby when he was upstairs snoozing and I was downstairs. Wow. One note, we can't have the MobiCam on at the same time... the 2 devices interfere with one another... so we just ordered a second camera for our toddler's room and then it's goodbye MobiCam.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Does the job
Have realistic expectations when buying this video monitor and you'll be happy with your investment. The picture quality is good (especially in dimly lit rooms), the video camera head is very light weight and tilts in four directions (ours hangs on the wall just above the crib suspended on a thumb tack!), and the battery so far has been really good (I've forgotten to plug it in a few nights and it's still juiced up). So, realistic expectations...

1) Don't expect to see the same vivid imagery of your baby that they promote in their packaging. Most likely you'll be setting up the monitor a safe distance from your baby's head/body so you'll get a more complete picture of your baby's body- not the close-up mug shots featured in the ads. The colors will not be as vibrant either, unless your little one has an affinity for sleeping in a very brightly lit room.

2) Do expect some feedback on your receiver. There are six degrees of 'noise' (green to red) to alert you of sounds in the room. I've become accustomed to only paying attention when I see it register 4+ repeatedly and with some length (feedback registers short bursts of 4+ and is common for my house). The feedback is audible so unfortunately I have to turn the sound down very very low at night (just enough to hear a cry), or I am awakened by the hisses all night.

3) You can't control how long the video display stays on when the received is not plugged into the wall, so if you're downstairs and want to see your baby constantly you will need it to be plugged in. Otherwise it will go to sound-only after about 3 minutes.

I would prefer that it came with two video monitors, because sometimes baby falls asleep in another 'regular' nap spot that you'd like to watch. Also it would be great if it were possible to move the video head remotely (so that when baby squirms out of view you can find her) but I don't expect to see that on a household product such as this. Overall I've been really happy with this tool, aside from the feedback annoyances, which channel switching doesn't seem to fix. (We do have a wireless router and cordless phones throughout the house)
