great value for the price
We bought this monitor couple weeks ago and so far we are very happy with it. When we first set it up it interfered with our house phone and it was very static,but then we just changed the channel on the monitor and now it's quiet and no interference. It's nice to watch my baby while she sleeps and nice to hear her through the monitor if i'm in the kitchen. The little TV...

great value for the price, July 17, 2009
This review is from: Summer Infant Day & Night Baby Video Monitor with 5" Screen - White (Baby Product)
We bought this monitor couple weeks ago and so far we are very happy with it. When we first set it up it interfered with our house phone and it was very static,but then we just changed the channel on the monitor and now it's quiet and no interference. It's nice to watch my baby while she sleeps and nice to hear her through the monitor if i'm in the kitchen. The little TV could be battery operated as well,if you have to take it with you somewhere (i take it downstairs to the laundry room,or it's nice to have by when i'm gardening while my daughter is napping). I highly recommend it to everyone!
One thing though,it doesn't "check" baby's breathing,like some other monitors do.

Great for the price!, October 13, 2009
This review is from: Summer Infant Day & Night Baby Video Monitor with 5" Screen - White (Baby Product)
I received this as a gift for my second baby. I was not really sure if it was something I really "needed", but we borrowed the monitor we'd used for our first baby, so we needed something, and since we were given this, I figured I would try it out.
My son is 11 weeks old and I have been using this since the third night he was home from the hospital. I could not get any sleep w/ him in our room, and out of desperation put him in his crib in his own room that third night. I hooked up the monitor and loved the fact that I could see him as well as hear him.
I did have to adjust the channel to "C" instead of "A" because of interference, but once I adjusted it, there has been minimal interference.
My only complaint is that the volume is very loud, even on the lowest setting. I just need to barely be able to hear him since I sleep so lightly now that I have babies in the house. And the lowest setting for this is just too loud. I even taped over the volume holes on the bottom of the unit, but it did not help much.
However, it makes no difference to us now, because we just leave the sound off during the night, having just the video portion on. It works well for me since I can hear him if he starts fussing, and can see whether he is in need of me getting out of bed or am I just hearing him fuss for a minute and go back to sleep. I love it. It has saved me many trips of getting in and out of bed to check to see if he's breathing or not. I can usually tell by staring at the monitor for a minute or two.
This device does not alert you if the baby stops breathing like some claim to do, but that was the type of monitor we used w/ our first son, and it was, in my opinion, just a gimmick. This is more trustworthy to me because I can see him w/ my own 2 eyes.
I recommend this to anyone who wants a simple device to use at night to ease your mind, and help you sleep! :-)

Too Many Lemons in this Product Line - BEWARE!!!, January 3, 2010
This review is from: Summer Infant Day & Night Baby Video Monitor with 5" Screen - White (Baby Product)
I have owned a total of 4 (FOUR!) Summer Infant Day & Night Baby Video Monitors, which I bought and returned and bought and returned and bought and returned...from Toys R Us as a result of all FOUR of them being defective in one way or another:
1. A defective camera that DID NOT DISPLAY AN IMAGE AT ALL
2. A defective monitor that buzzed and crackled on all channel settings
3. A defective monitor that emitted a loud sound and ORANGE light from inside the video unit
4. A set of camera plus monitor that DID NOT WORK AT ALL
This is the crappiest product ever, stay away from Summer products, they are clearly poorly manufactured and have shoddy quality control.
The only reason I put up with all those returns is because I could not get a refund back from Toys R Us, they only have a "replacement" policy.
What a WASTE of time and money -- stay away stay away stay away from this product at all costs. NOT worth your valuable parenting time...

Better than expected . . ., August 27, 2009
This review is from: Summer Infant Day & Night Baby Video Monitor with 5" Screen - White (Baby Product)
After reading reviews of seemingly every video monitor system on the market, it became apparent that they all have their fans and their detractors. I was afraid to spend too much money on something that might not work well, but I still wanted a "quality" device, so I opted for this one. I have to say I have been very pleasantly surprised. The picture is clear, and the sound doesn't bother me at all -- maybe because I live in the city and am used to noise, but to me it's just a gentle white noise. Also, you can turn the sound off and just keep the picture (or vice versa) if you want. When my baby cries, the sound is crisp and clear. Basically, this monitor works exactly as advertised, nothing fancy, just an easy way to keep an eye on your baby at all times. I live in an apartment building and was worried about static and interference, but so far, none (I've been using it for about three weeks). Highly recommended.

Could see neighbor's baby clearly.. and they could probably see ours!, March 3, 2010
This review is from: Summer Infant Day & Night Baby Video Monitor with 5" Screen - White (Baby Product)
We didn't mind this product at first. It has decent video and decent audio. A neighbor nearby recently had a baby, however, and now I constantly pick up their monitor.. video and all! I regularly have to switch channels (there are only 3) to find the clearest picture/sound of my baby. Many times I have to listen to static all night long!
Probably not an issue if you're not near anyone using this same monitor but watch what you say and wear! It was very creepy to turn it on one day and see a crystal clear picture of a baby that wasn't mine.

Great Baby Video Monitor, January 12, 2010
This review is from: Summer Infant Day & Night Baby Video Monitor with 5" Screen - White (Baby Product)
We have been perfectly happy with this video monitor. It works well day or night. We have only had some interference issues when there was construction on the road next to our house... but otherwise, we haven't had any trouble. Our neighbors have a different Summer monitor and we haven't had any issues with seeing each other's homes or anything. Our four year old loves to go up and talk with our one year old when he awakens from his nap, and I can listen in/watch while finishing up making lunch! Video monitors are a great idea! Just wish it didn't take up so much counter space...

Be Careful, October 5, 2009
This review is from: Summer Infant Day & Night Baby Video Monitor with 5" Screen - White (Baby Product)
I have a slightly older 2006 version of this monitor and started noticing a buzzing noise at night coming from the transformer. It was getting very hot to the touch and then a week or so later it had a huge crack and the prongs were loose(on the monitor not the camera). So I called about getting a replacement since it is an obvious fire hazard. If this thing went it could burn down the house.
The number is 02180 on the bottom sticker. I called and they said they wouldn't replace it, it was out of warranty and they have never had a recall! Kind of arrogant on the phone bad service. The part is $20. Anyway be careful. They sent me a new plug for Free after asking for a manager!

Its not just for babies, March 28, 2010
This review is from: Summer Infant Day & Night Baby Video Monitor with 5" Screen - White (Baby Product)
We bought this product to help with my mother. We wanted to keep her home for her hospice care. Due to confusion we were unable to leave her alone safely while we took care of her many chores. This product was a LIfe Saver,the Picture day and night was crystal clear and sound just as good. We were able to leave the room while continuing to keep our mom safe. most recommended

OK while it lasted, November 2, 2009
This review is from: Summer Infant Day & Night Baby Video Monitor with 5" Screen - White (Baby Product)
The image quality on the monitor is good; the sound IS incredibly sensitive. My husband couldn't bear to have the audio on, even at the lowest setting, because of the static unless we were in another room (at which point, what's the use of a video monitor). However, we quickly became addicted to watching the baby and fell in love with having the monitor on whenever she was asleep. This lasted about 5 months. Our daughter will be 6 months old next week, and we've been relying on our audio-only monitor for about three weeks. The Day & Night video monitor suddenly stopped working reliably, then just stopped working at all. The video screen wouldn't come on, and the unit would emit a rhythmic clicking noise, but initially if you flicked it off and on, it would come around. Now there's nothing...no noise, no picture. I recognize that this is at the low end of the price point for similar items, but when I spend even this amount of money, I expect the purchase to last more than a few months. Customer service has yet to respond to my inquiry. I'll re-post if they have any impact on my disappointment.

GETS THE JOB DONE...FOR A WHILE, March 19, 2010
This review is from: Summer Infant Day & Night Baby Video Monitor with 5" Screen - White (Baby Product)
We purchased this product the first time in April of 2009. We had never owned a baby video monitor before so there was nothing to compare it to. After about a year, the picture started getting fuzzy around the edges and slowly (about 3 months later) it went totally black. We then used it basically for the sound, but that was going too. A lot of interference noise. Keep in mind we used the video every single day for hours. Last week I decided to purchase another monitor and after reading the reviews of all of the other models, I decided to go with this one again. It seems that they all have there flaws so at least this one is relatively inexpensive and I know what to expect. Plus, now that my daughter is older I won't be obsessed so much with watching her all the time. Maybe it will last longer this time. So far with this one, the picture is clear and you can definitely hear all that goes on in her room. Very little interference.
