Graco imonitor Digital Color Video Baby Monitor (USA)

Author: admin

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..

Summer Infant Secure Sleep Digital Video Monitor with Temperature Display (UK)

This 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..

Home Sentry Handheld DIGITAL Baby Monitor (USA)

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.

Summer Infant BestView Handheld Colour Video Monitor (UK)

We tried three other so called top brand name baby video monitors before buying the Summer Infant BestView Handheld Colour Video Monitor. This one is by far the best and they were all pretty expensive. Two of the others you could buy extra cameras for (yet more expense) but this one you don’t need to as the aspect ratio of the camera allows you to see the whole room with the one camera. As the baby has got older (up to nine months) the baby video camera has become more and more a necessity to us as he is prone to sticking a leg through the bars of his cot and getting stuck..

We can even get reception from the bottom of our garden which is pretty impressive. The picture does get a little more grainy the further away you get from the camera but it’s no worse than any of the others we have tried. One thing to not is that even during the day if the light in the room is low the picture reverts to black and white which is probably built in to protect the picture quality which is really very good.

The unit is pretty well built and quite nice to look at and the system is quite easy to use and has a good range and the pan and tilt function offered on this model really does work well.

Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Baby Monitor

Author: admin

Initially, we had thought a video monitor would not be necessary – until the actual day came when it was time to move our son to her crib in her own room! The first monitor we tried was the Baby’s Quite Sounds miniature Black & White TV monitor (this is also by summer Infant products) that we usually kept by the bed side on the night stand – reception was ok but the large screen cast so much light when you were trying to sleep, that you had to turn the video off and only turn it on when the baby woke.

Having the hand held monitor is a much better solution! We can take it anywhere in the house and the reception is superb (although it does clash a bit while on the cordless phone which is also 900 mHz). We also have a wireless system in our home and we can use the video baby monitor simultaneously without interference to either. Additionally important to note is that I have been able to use this video monitor in combination with the BeBe Sounds Anglecare Sensory Monitor (for SIDS prevention) without any difficulty or conflict between them.

The Angelcare Sensory Monitor is also very efficient if you are considering a SIDS monitor as well! One slight draw back is that at night the video monitor sometimes wakes me up due to static (however, this is down to where you place the monitor, and can usually be adjusted for better reception if there’s a problem).

This monitor has two models with the only difference being the screen size. My model, #02100 has a 2″x2″ color TFT screen or 2.8″ diagonally, and the other model (#02090) has a smaller 1.8″ color TFT screen. You can also purchase an additional camera (for $99.99, model # 02100-01) to view another baby or room on the other channel if you need to. The additional camera is listed under “features” for model number 02100 only; however, the customer service rep. had said that the screen size was the only difference between the two handheld models, so it would probably work for both models.

This system is very powerful indeed. The quality of the Video picture and audio is amazing and can’t be faulted. There is an internal rechargeable battery in both the monitor and the camera or of course you can power either directly from the mains supply using the two supplied AC adapters or even using the USB option.

We had a little trouble pairing up the video monitor and camera at first so I emailed Customer Service and got a reply in two hours. The instructions for paring up the camera and the monitor were slightly different that those that came with the product but they assured me all new systems had the updated instructions from now on. Anyway we had them paired up in no time and we have absolutely NO interference problems and that’s in a three storey home with 2 wireless routers and 4 cordless phones all working around it.

Great Stuff!
