I thoroughly researched all available audio/video monitors, and loved the features of this particular one; however, none of the reviews or specs mentioned that it did not have a battery backup in the camera. So, if you have a power outage, the monitor stops tracking your baby, and doesn’t even alert you to “out of range” failure other than shutting off the picture. So, if you lose power at night, the monitor will stop working WITHOUT ALERTING YOU! Since this device is marketed as a safety and peace-of-mind item, it is basically a non-starter that it can die on you without an audible warning signal of some sort. There are so many monitors on the market that have this important security feature that it’s extremely disappointing that Summer Infant has been unable to deliver. The Philips monitors, for example, although not video, have a dual backup system — if power goes out to the base, it has a built-in battery backup – and if that fails, then the parent monitor beeps loudly to notify you.
If it weren’t for this serious flaw, I would have given this monitor a 5-star rating (great reception, picture, zoom, battery life, etc. ); however, the flaw renders it completely unreliable.

Ok, here is the straight scoop; This is really a set for even the electronically challenged! Plug and play, really is that easy. Just be sure to hold the power button for at least 2-3 seconds before you actually see the screen come on. (from the monitor end) then on the base of the camera is the switch cleverly enough marked ‘on-off’ slide it to ‘on’ and away you go, it IS that simple! Joystick style remote that is really easier to use that your basic cable remote control. Just press the joystick center in and you have your 1x zoom. It does a good job at this too! The camera itself is very smooth (and quiet) movement up/down side to side and you can really see just about all over the room if you wanted to. (good for monitoring a toddler’s play room also!)
Display size is good, and very clear image too. No problem seeing all the little details you need to. Sound pick up is excellent, effortlessly detects small sounds from across the room and even displays in a color sequence to the monitor. A single green will light up for slight sound all the way to Red for loud sounds in case you have the volume down.
Night vision is automatic; this unit really is user friendly! The night vision is very good to excellent picture image. I can’t imagine any negative complaints to this unit unless it is from a really bored knuckle head with nothing better to do, or you have interference from an external network of some sort. I have 2. 4Gz frequencies all around our house and have no troubles at all! Highly recommended!

I have my 97 year old mother living with me. She is not at all well and we have help from Hospice. But, that still means 24/7 monitoring. It’s far easier to not constantly be opening the door to check on her. With the monitor, it’s a cinch to be there when needed and not interrupt a good sleep. The screen is big, easy for me to use without glasses on. Settings allow you to have the monitor off, on audio alone. I’ve told my mother that if she call’s me, I’ll come. With the monitor near the bed, I seem to always hear her on the first mention of my name. And, I’m not getting up every hour to walk across to her room to check. Before I got this monitor, I was exhausted all the time. Now, getting four or five hours at a time happens for me more and more, and I am there the minute she needs me.
There are some reviews that talk about night vision lights flashing. . . I haven’t seen anything like it, but I do have a night light on in the room being monitored. And, yes, you do have to press the menu key to set brightness and volume. . still only a couple of clicks and very easy.
The camera pans and scans remotely and is super quiet. I also like the “closeup” feature. You can get a room view, but with one click, zoom in by half. I haven’t tried other monitors, but it’s hard to imagine better functionality than this.
I’m thinking about getting another camera or two, it’s supposed to support up to 4. One on the back porch and one in the garage would be a quick way to look at things that go bump in the night without having to have computer access. The monitor is totally portable and runs for up to 10 hours on a charge.
If you need to monitor something, someone, in an unobtrusive and efficient manner, I can’t imagine a better product, unless you want to go with web-cams.

we have twins so we bought 2. because of the 2 channels one monitor can see both camera a & camera b so we can see both children on the same monitor. one of the monitors experiences some interference once and a while. The night vision works great. We have had the monitors and used them daily for five months now and are very happy with them.

This video monitor is the best out there. It is perfectly clear day/night. Since it is 100% digital your connection is safe, and there is no fuzziness with the sound or video. Another nice feature about this monitor is that you can buy additional cameras so that you don’t have to move it all over the house to wherever your child is. You can also zoom in to see a more detailed picture of your child, and it is also able to pan around the room. What a relief to find a video monitor that has a safe secure connection with no sound problems. I absolutely love this product!
