Kiddopotamus Securesleep Handheld Color Video MonitorWe 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.

Summer-Infant-Digital-Handheld-Colour-Video-MonitorFor parents of young children and babies then a baby video monitor is pretty much an essential purchase. We bought this one three months ago and to be honest it’s been ok. It’s very easy to use and practically plug and play to setup (we’re not techies) so we were working with it straight out of the box. There are only 3 channels to choose from and so far this hasn’t given us any problems but there again we aren’t very advanced in our house and there are no other wireless products to cause interference.

The picture at night seems to be in black and white and does get a bit grainy depending on where else you are in the house with the receiver. It does come with a rechargeable battery and the charge does seem to last through the night with no problems.

Overall we have no real complaints. It gives us a feeling of security that should anything go seriously wrong with our baby when we aren’t in the same room we can now respond virtually instantly. This is very good for the peace of mind you need if you’re going to get any sleep.

Summer Infant 02100 2.5 inch Color Hand Held Video Monitor with Extra Camera 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..

Sassy Web Watch iC Internet Video MonitorWe 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..
F Crosby, TN. USA
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.

Philips AVENT SCD530 DECT Baby Monitor with Temperature and Humidity SensorsWe have been quite impressed with this baby monitor. The monitor is very discreet and smaller than we thought beofre we bought. The screen seems to be a bit faded at first but there is a backlight that appears when you press any buttons. This really is the complete baby monitor.

The temperature is constantly displayed on the monitor along with the humidity and we found the lullaby feature to be great. You can start and stop the lullabies via the parental controls which is really good when your baby is really young. The nightlight can also be turned off and on remotely but I must say it’s such an insignificant little light the baby probably never noticed whether it was on or off.

There are products with better nightlights than this if that is a priority for you. The sensitivity of the unit can be adjusted to suit your needs as well. When the baby is really young it’s better to hear every sound the baby makes but as it develops into a toddler you may not want to hear every snore or mutter..

The quality of the sound is really sparkling with no hum or buzz at all. It also works as an intercom which is a nice feature and really useful at times. If you don’t want to spring for a baby video monitor or the temperature and humidity features are more important for you then this is probably one of the best baby monitors on the market.

Graco imonitor Digital Color Video Baby MonitorWe 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..

Summer Infant Secure Sleep Digital Video Monitor with Temperature DisplayThis baby video monitor is pretty good although in retrospect I wished we’d plumbed for one with a bigger screen. One very good feature that not all baby monitors feature is a temperature display on the receiver which actually changes colour as the temperature changes. It will go red if the baby’s bedroom gets too warm and blue if it’s too cold.

Like most of these the camera Changes to black and white viewing at night time or in extremely dim conditions to enable a clear picture. The quality is pretty goo I have to admit. As far as reception goes this monitor automatically changes channel (and there are over 100 for it to choose from) to find the clearest digital signal.

The temperature display can be shown in either celcius or fahrenheit. This unit comes with rechargeable batteries but also has two mains connectors so you can always be sure of not losing power. Overall the product seems to be well made and we haven’t had any trouble with it so we’re happy. We have had it for 4 months without any problems..
