Baby Products Reviews of Summer Infant Baby's Quiet Sounds Video Monitor
Customer Review: so far, so good!
Summary: 4 Stars
I was iffy about registering for this since I had read so many bad reviews. But I decided to give it a try, and I am glad I did! The picture quality isn't super-great, but it's clear enough to see the baby in her crib. The sound works well too, picking up background noise as well as the baby. Lots of people have had issues with the plug getting hot, or with things cracking...so far, we've had no problems. Granted, our daughter is only 6 weeks old, but this monitor gets a great deal of use on a daily basis. I keep the tv monitor downstairs while my daughter naps in her crib. I can get tons done without having to run upstairs every time I hear her move. We use regular audio monitors at night since our room is right next to hers, but the video monitor allows me to do what I need to do during the day. The screen is small enough to move from room to room which is nice.Customer Review: This is a great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far the best purchase I have made for my baby. I thought I was being frivolus at first because of the cost, but it was well worth the money. It has saved my piece of mind knowing I can click a button and see right into my son's crib. The camera is very easy to mount, and works very well in complete darkness. I can see my son's face very clearly and tell if his eyes are open, it's like he is right next to me. The best feature is that it works like a regular monitor and you have the option of turning the video screen on and off so you don't have the brightness of the screen bothering you while you sleep. This product will help a great deal when my son starts trying to get out of the crib - I can catch him in the act without being in the room! From now on I will buy this product for every baby shower I go to! (I'll just have someone go in on it with me.)Customer Review: Good quality but poor performance
Summary: 2 Stars
The quality of the unit is done well, but the performance was much worse than I anticipated. The monitor operates on the 900 MHZ band, which is used by many devices. The camera was on the second story of our house, and the video monitor was in our bedroom on the first floor about 45 feet away. We also have wireless LAN and wireless phones (2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz). Regardless of how much I adjusted antennas and channel settings, the picture and sound quality was very poor. The sound always had a large amount of interference even at very low volume levels. I would not recommend using this product unless the camera and monitor were very close together and other wireless interference was limited. There are higher frequency monitors, so I may try one of those next.The infrared picture worked well - you could see fairly well even though the room had almost no light.
Customer Review: Great Idea and this Product Functions as Expected
Summary: 5 Stars
Camera is 40 feet away from the monitor and the picture and sounds are clear. The product was completely plug and play. Our camera is located approx. 3 feet above the crib and I can see his entire body as well as am able to listen to his breathing, although there is more background noise than my Fisher Price sound monitor. It would be nice if the picture had a little more detail, but for the cost it is hard to argue this point.
It may help that my cordless phones are on 2.4ghz instead of 900mhz, this maybe one of the reasons others have had poor reception.
I recommend the product as this has allowed my wife and I a greater level of comfort since we moved our baby into his room. Sound monitors alone are great, but now when my son makes an odd noise, we can just look over and see that he is fine and there is no need to go running down the hall to verify.
Customer Review: Excellent Product
Summary: 5 Stars
My son recenty developed epilepsy. I was unable to sleep at night because I was so worried about his condition. A video monitor was the only solution for me. This monitor has worked flawlessly in my home, allowing me to watch him from any room in my home as well as in my yard at any time, and allowing me a good night's sleep. I have found minor interference with kitchen gadgets and my home computer - but every problem has been easily resolved with a bit of relocation and manipulation of the camera or the monitor.
The ability to receive audio transmissions while blocking off video has been such a blessing. I am not kept awake by a blaring monitor - but am able to check up on my boy at any time with a simple press of a button (that can be found while I am half-asleep in the dark).
I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever.
Try this unit for yourself!
