Product Description

Amazon.com

For parents of babies with reflux or sleep apnea or who are overly concerned about SIDS, this monitor with a video system provides the extra peace of mind that baby is alright by himself in the crib. It also keeps you from waking baby unnecessarily by letting you see if baby is really awake or just fussing in his sleep. The monitor comes with a camera, which mounts on either a wall or table top and pivots so you can adjust it at each bed- or naptime to get the best view of baby. A nighttime sensor automatically detects darkness and adjusts the picture so you can still see baby on the monitor. The monitor operates at a powerful 900-MHz frequency for a clearer picture and has two channels for better privacy. The monitor delivers sound as well as sight and illuminating lights show the sound level of babies' cries. As a bonus this monitor comes with a portable, battery-operated audio receiver, which allows parents to be out in the backyard or at a neighbor's house and still be connected to baby. The audio receiver clips onto a belt and has a volume control, illuminating sound lights, and a low-battery indicator. This set comes with three AC adapters for plugging all components in and two cord shorteners for safety. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well for us, September 26, 2004

By 

ppmd "Professional" (Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Safety 1st 900 Mhz Sight And Sound Nursery Monitor System (Baby Product)

1. Video: clear during daylight and more than adequate at night (complete darkness). Reception is great at 75 feet away through two (2) walls.

2. Audio: even better than the video! The separate, additional audio-only receiver has really good reception and clarity.

3. Love the ability to selectively turn off the video and listen to only audio with the larger monitor.

4. The tilt/swivel of the camera works really well to target the baby in the crib / Pack N' Play.

5. We have 2.4 GHz cordless phone and wireless 802.11g network at home. This 900 MHz baby monitoring system causes NO interference at all - a BIG consideration for those with 2.4 GHz devices at home. Keep in mind that 2.4 GHz will be more directional and more likely to have problems with reception through walls and around corners.

6. If you have a radio scanner or an amateur radio receiver and can tune into 900 MHz, you just got an additional audio receiver! I tune my scanner to either Channel 1 or Channel 2 (see manual for exact frequencies) and carry that around the house with me whenever I am away from the video monitor. Allows both wife and myself to be productive at the same time - she carries the audio-only monitor and I carry the scanner!

7. Installation was extremely easy. Simply plug and play.

March 6, 2005 Update:

The infrared emitters on the camera has now malfunctioned TWICE within 5 months. It is the only problem we've encountered. Once you have this device it becomes indispensible, so I hated not having "night vision".

For replacements, call 800 544-1108, give them a credit card number, and they will ship you a new unit. You won't be charged anything unless you don't destroy/return the defective unit (they paid for shipping both ways).

We still love our monitor despite the problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product for us despite bad reviews!!, May 27, 2004

This review is from: Safety 1st 900 Mhz Sight And Sound Nursery Monitor System (Baby Product)

We bought this product after trying the camera and monitor system from Summer Infant product, which is rated higher than this Safety 1st product. We bought the Summer product over this one based on the reviews but when we got it home, over the next few days, it got more and more static and couldn't get a clear picture. We returned it to the store and bought this Safety First product, despite the bad reviews. We tried it out and the picture was very clear and barely has a hum in the background. We could hear our baby breathing and see him throughout the night which put us at ease. This product also has an extra portable monitor which can be put elsewhere in the house and the sound is just as clear as the main base. This product also has infrared lens on the camera and can be used in a totally dark room. We have experienced no interference even though we have several cordless phones on the same 900 mhz frequency. I would recommend trying this product out to see if it works for you. We would never have tried it based on the other reviews but we did and it worked well for us!

4.0 out of 5 stars A reliever...., December 20, 2005

This review is from: Safety 1st 900 Mhz Sight And Sound Nursery Monitor System (Baby Product)

It's great to watch my baby sleep...it keeps us from having to run and down the steps after every peep. It allows us monitor his sleeping habits without having to stand over his bed. We occasionally get some interference and would have to smack the monitor a few times to get our picture back. The picture is pretty clear, even at night. We love it and wouldn't use another monitor.
