I live in a condo and have cordless phones and wireless internet. I found this product had terrible static. In comparison, the Fisher Price 900mhz Long Range Monitor sounded excellent.

This monitor is “staticky”. I mean if it’s the only one you have then it’s fine because you can still hear your child, but the amount of static is annoying and kind of distracting if you are trying to do work. I would suggest that parents shop around before purchasing an item that is cheaper.

I received this monitor as a baby shower gift and I’m not complaining. It works pretty good. The only thing that makes me give it 4 stars is that it has a lot of static in the background. In order to keep the static out of it you have to keep it on real low which makes it hard to hear your baby until he is crying real loud. Overall though it does work good as long as you don’t mind listening to the background static in it and I would recommend this monitor to others.

Years ago my son who’s now 14 had a summer infant monitor. Now my daughter who was 3 1/2 has one and our new one on the way has one. We have stuck by Summer brand for how their product works, ease of use, and reliability.The set comes with 1 camera and the monitor. You can add up to 3 additional cameras to the set. The monitor is a great size 5 inches. Its portable, color LCD runs on 2.4 GHz wireless digital technology. I do wish they had upted this for houses with more walls and range needed but for our house of 2100 sq feet, 2 floors we have had no issues with reception. It even reaches fine on our back deck. They say a range of 600 feet – but again keep in mind walls, etc will all hinder and lesson this. Every house is set up differently so when choosing a monitor keep that in mind. Where will you use it most, which places in your house and compare that to where the babys room may be to get a better idea.I like that it has a low battery and out of range indicator. It also has sound activated LED lights. Like most cameras it goes to black and white for night vision and it also zooms in on baby. The zoom works well, zooming in a bit to see baby closer, but we haven’t used the zoom that much at all.Some reviews state it does not have all the bells and whistles such as playing lullaby’s, white noise or a talk button. Is that all really needed? Half the times our cribs have other musical products and lights and such. We have always used just a camera and monitor without the extra’s.My only concern again is the range with the 2.4 system. Some house setups this probably will not be good for. Our video feed is smooth, not fuzzy, and clear. We use it mostly in the bedroom next to the babys but, we also use it down the hall in the kitchen, as well as downstairs in the family room or outside on the deck. We also have additional cameras on the system and that works perfectly. We like to monitor a few area’s where baby will be without having to move and shift cameras around.

I love this baby monitor. I can compare this one to the Motorola MBP36 and I like this one better because the video quality is so much better on this one. I thought the MBP36 was good until I got this one, then it was absolutely no contest. In fact, I wish I could return the MBP36. The MBP36 is good because you can pan the camera remotely using the controls on the monitor and I like that the buttons on the monitor is on the face and not on the edges because that makes it so you are not constantly accidentally pushing buttons when you’re carrying it, but that’s it. In video quality, this one wins hands down and since that’s the most important part – I prefer this one. The camera is static (doesn’t pan). This is a great camera that shows you enough detail on your baby – enough to where you can see them breathing – day or night. If you want a camera that shows you more area, like the entire room, you may want to look into the wide angle version.What could be improved:1. Battery life of the monitor – it only lasts a few hours of continuous use. The charger does have an extra long cable, but it would be nice if the battery life was better.2. The buttons are all along the edges of the monitor – this is nice because you get a very nice big viewing screen, but not so nice because you’re constantly accidentally hitting buttons on the thing when you’re carring it around.3. Picture quality – Yes, it’s much better video quality than the Motorola MBP36 and it’s good enough that you can easily see your baby breathing, but it could always be better….if we’re being greedy.What is great:1. Screen size is bigger and better than the MBP362. Great video quality – you can easily watch your baby breathing3. Great night vision – you can easily watch baby breathing4. Very reliable5. Excellent portability – I have a 1500 sq ft house on a half acre lot and I’m able to monitor the baby from pretty much my entire property. So everywhere in the house and out in the yard as well. Excellent. It beats the Motorola MBP36 in this area as well.6. Has an internal antenna which is way nicer than the externa antenna of the Motorola MBP36 – while still having better connection.7. The stand is better and sturdier on the monitor than the MBP368. Pretty much everything you need to monitor your baby.9. The monitor and camera can be closer together before you get feedback – basically, just as long as they are at least 2 feet apart, you won’t have feedback issues. Not like the MBP36 which gets feedback if they are in the same room. This is especially important if you’re trying to adjust the placement of the camera while looking at the monitor. Or – if you rig this up in your car to use as a car baby monitor (which I did). I would recommend using the non-wide screen version if using in the car, but this one would work as well. I love using this in the car because 1. It’s way better than trying to rig up a bunch of mirrors to monitor my baby in her rear facing car seat. 2. You can’t see the baby with mirrors if driving at night – but you can with this monitor because of the night vision. 3. With the zoom feature, you can easily see baby breathing in her car seat – this is especially important with the rise in incidents where babies stop breathing in their car seats. I am able to drive with confidence and not have to worry because I can totally see her face and chest and know everything is okay. I have the monitor mounted on my dash with a GPS monitor that accepts a 5" screen.10. Durability – I’ve been using this in all different capacities, every day for the past 2 months and it’s been going strong. I’ve dropped the monitor a few times and it’s gotten scuffed on the edges, but still working great.Great product that I use on a daily basis and am extremely happy with.

I didn’t have a video monitor with my first two kids but having it for my 3rd has been awesome. This camera has a great range and works throughout my house and even out in the front or backyard. While the picture is not crystal clear and colorful like the picture it shows to advertise it, the picture is decent enough to get the just of what is going on your child’s room. Setting it up was super easy and it doesn’t make any noise while its running that would bother your child. I like that you can add additional cameras if you need to, but I wouldn’t need to in our nursery. I think if you wanted to use this in a basement or additional rooms, the additional cameras would be nice – it doesn’t have to just be a "baby" monitor! I haven’t had any issues with this camera in my house and it gives such piece of mind to see how my daughter is doing. I’d recommend spending the extra money on a nice monitor like this one rather than buying some of the other baby items that really aren’t needed. This monitor has enough bells and whistles to make it nicer than other but isn’t crazy though (you can’t talk or play music from it).
