We had had to return a Summer Infant Baby Monitor because unfortunately our house is made of stone and the signal just wasn’t strong enough to be really effective for us. We were advised to try the Kiddopotamus Securesleep and we have been delighted with the performance of it. It reall does offer us the complete monitoring that we need and the picture and sound are of very good quality indeed. The belt clip is extremely hand as it means I can get on with the housework and have both hands free. The rechargeable battery lasts throught the night although we do mainly use it from the mains. But the battery is always there incase of a possible power cut. The picture at night is in Black and white but I understand that most of these units are the same. The picture is still plenty good enough even when the baby’s romm is completely darkened. Very PLEASED overall.

We didn’t have much knowledge on these monitors so anyway we started of with the Summer Infant Color Video Monitor (Hand Held) 02100A with a 2.5 inch screen last year.. The bad news was there were only two channels to choose from and both of them had quite a bit of interference and we were constantly having to re-position the receiver to get the picture and audio clearer. The security on this monitor was very poor too. I think it’s probably not digital so we cold actually see two other babies in our neighborhood and this was a bit disconcerting so we ended up returning this system.

The Secure Sounds Digital which we bought next advertises NO interference and I’m delighted to say we have found this to be the case. There is no static or hum with this monitor (and I can’t tell you how annoying that can be when you’re trying to sleep at night!) and we can actually still get a good video and audio signal as far as a block away from our house! The screen is slightly smaller than the original but the picture is nice and crisp so it’s not a problem. You wouldn’t exactly say it’s “HD” quality but you can clearly see all the detail even at night when it’s purely black and white. Even during the day the colors are a bit faded but that’s not a problem for us. The only thing that matters is we can see and heard our baby very clearly from anywhere in the house.

The crib soother is a nice addition and you have several different noise options varying from 3 lullabies, a couple of nature sounds and even a couple of different vibrations which we have found to be VERY effective.

This is the first one of these baby monitors we have invested in. With this system you can keep your baby happy, safe and secure. The Summer Infant Color Hand Held Video Monitor isn’t the cheapest on the market but we don’t care about that because the thing does exactly what is says on the box and after reading lots of reviews out there we realize that lots of these monitors simply aren’t very good or have range problems or interference problems.

That hasn’t been our experience with this monitor system and the beauty of it is it comes with an extra Summer Infant 02100 camera, We can look after our baby in any room we choose which is really handy. We have found this ito be the perfect baby monitoring system for any parent who cares about keeping their children secure and safe especially when you aren’t with them..

We have received two completely contrasting reviews for this particular baby monitor so we’re including both as obviously we have to remain unbiased. We suggest you click the product picture or product link underneath these reviews to get more information.

BABY Monitor Review 1
This baby video monitor has never worked properly from out of the box. We couldn’t get the camera to turn on at all when using batteries and when connected to the mains it only stayed on for 10 seconds. All tech support said was “Take it back to the shop and get a new one.” as they probably didn’t have enough parts to fix the original. We never even got to trying the internet part so can’t comment on that..

BABY Monitor Review 2
We tried 3 other brands of baby monitor and the Sassy Web Watch iC has by far the best range. The picture angle of the camera is really wide and the clarity and color is superb. Connecting to the computer for internet broadcasting was really simple – plug and play.. We did find the Skype Web Viewer difficult to figure out and the battery life in the monitor wasn’t great but we just plugged it into the mains.

We bought two baby monitors to test against each other. We had to do this separately as the two systems interfered with each other (which we thought was a bad sign for both of them..). The other one was a Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color video hand-held monitor 1.8″. This proved to have superior color display as the Graco didn’t really show true color even in bright conditions..

The range of the Summer Infant was about twice that of the Graco as well. There were no interference problems with either monitor and in truth the Graco performed adequately but we preferred the Summer Infant. I understand that Graco have since upgraded their monitor so maybe it performs better now.

I did read somewhere that the new monitor has more pixels per screen and the picture quality is far better because of this and I must admit it has a vibrate mode which you would think they could ALL employ. After all this technology has been in all cell phones for a while so it shouldn’t be too hard to include in a portable baby monitor. It does feature a handy belt clip as well..

We had previously used analogue baby monitors and sometimes it was struggle to tell whether the baby was making any noise through all the static. It took us a few minutes to get the camera to register but once it did we could immediately see a crystal clear picture of our baby. Previously we had been quite skeptical about the “interference free” claim but this baby video monitor has lived up to it’s word and we haven’t had any problems at all.

You can add a camera to the system and this will be great when our second baby arrives in 5 months time. The system is very easy to use and quite simply has fulfilled it’s job to our complete satisfaction. We would highly recommend this Baby Monitor to anyone looking for a straightforward hassle free bay monitoring system.

Previously we had been catching pictures of our neighbour’s baby but all that has stopped now we have gone digital.

We have had about 4 monitor systems in the past 3 years. our son has special needs and also sometimes has to use breathing equipment. This monitor is so great we can actually see the numbers on the equipment. This has been a real boon to wife who finally is relaxing enough to get somewhere near a good night’s sleep. The monitor is also a nice modern looking piece of equipment which is nice whilst not vital..

We have had absolutely NO interference with this baby video monitor and we have a couple of iPhones and also run two wifi routers in our house as I work from home these days so you could say we have really tested it’s resistence to interference and it has passed the test with flying colors.

It’s great to instantly know whether our son has actually got a problem or has just been disturbed a little in his sleep. One slight thing that bothers us is that the monitor or receiver can only be plugged in and has no battery option but we have learned to manage and the otherwise excellent performance makes this a small inconvenience in fairness..
