 Keep an eye on your baby from up to 350 feet away. View larger. |
The two-channel Quiet Sounds installs in just minutes without any tools, so you can enjoy the benefits of wireless video and audio monitoring right away. Compact and lightweight, the monitor can then be attached to the included belt clip or simply placed on any flat surface (a stand is included). You can also use the included mounting hardware and mount it to a wall.
Once installed, the 900MHz camera transmits clear pictures and sounds to the video monitor with ranges up to 350 feet (clear line of sight) and 100 feet (obstructed). And it's a snap to add up to two more cameras (sold separately) if you wish to simultaneously monitor more rooms, an option that's especially convenient as your family grows.
Crystal Clear Reception
This handheld monitor utilizes the latest FM band technology to provide crystal clear reception. It also has a large, 2.5-inch, high resolution, full-color LCD display and LED sound lights. Most importantly, this monitoring solution avoids interference caused by other 2.4 GHz devices commonly found in the home--like 2.4GHz cordless phones and wireless 802.11 computer networks--so you won't have to worry about excessive static.

One of the most helpful and unique features of the Quiet Sounds monitor is its night-vision capabilities, which allow parents to check up on their sleeping baby without disturbing his or her rest. Nine built-in infrared LEDs permit the camera to view clear images within a distance of up to six feet in total darkness.
Another night-time option is to turn off the video button and choose the audio-only option. A super sensitive microphone built into the camera alerts sleeping parents that their baby is making noises, crying or moving around in his or her crib.
Longlasting and Reliable
This sleek plastic monitor comes with rechargeable batteries that lasts up to 10 hours. It also boasts a power-saver feature that times out after three minutes when running on the battery. For added convenience, external audio/video outputs provide connections to existing video recorder or home television, and you can even purchase headphone jacks for private monitoring.
What's in the Box
Video camera with transmitter, handheld monitor with receiver, two AC power adapters, rechargeable battery pack for monitor, wall-mount bracket and hardware for camera, belt clip and stand for monitor, and user's manual.
Still working great after 2 1/2 years
We bought this before my daughter was born. The picture is amazing (although if you don't have a spotlight on her you're not going to see anything near the vibrant color... but, really, is vibrant color why you're buying this) I could see my baby's chest rise and fall. But better than anything is the amazing quality of sound you get coupled with the picture.
This has saved me sooo many times from running upstairs or it made me have to go upstairs because I can hear even the faintest variation of her breathing pattern and I don't even have the volume up all the way and the camera is at least 5ft-6ft away from her. The other nice touch is that the infrared camera is green (not red). At first annoying, but my daughter doesn't even notice it and it doesn't hinder her sleep.
I have two handhelds of the same exact product and bought an additional camera and handheld and camera (Summer) that were NOT the same model and they integrated seamlessly. Also very easy to pack up and set up anytime she spends the night with someone/somewhere else.
Over the past 6 months the sound began to "tick" a bit (annoying when you're trying to sleep) but it didn't do that on all handhelds so we just switched them out. Lastly, all are now plugged in. You get much clearer reception both voice and picture quality. Now that I'm out of the newborn stage I don't feel I need to "see" her all the time as long as I can hear her.
I did a lot of research before purchasing and hands down this is the best monitor out there including other less expensive Summer monitors (friend has one and has had to return hers 3-4 times).
This thing is a friggin' lifesaver.
Our daughter is now almost 2 and a half and we still use this every day. When she was tiny, it saved us SO MUCH worry and headache, as we could see what she was doing-we hung it closer to her crib (lower on the wall) and I could actually see her little chest moving up and down when she was sleeping. It even enabled me to shower-I could pop into the shower, and if I thought I heard something, I could pop out of the shower and get a quick visual. As she's gotten older, we've moved it up higher on the wall, and now it's almost at the ceiling, but I can still get a pretty clear view. I cannot recommend this product enough. It is totally, totally worth the money. Hopefully Summer Infant will come out with a long range "Teenager Monitor" too! ;)
Great monitor
This is my fourth monitor. The first one I bought was a mobi one and it was AWFUL. I think the fact that it was 2.4ghz was why it didn't work well in our house. I love the big screen in comparison to the mobi one. I didn't like the bulkiness of the other monitors where it was the size of a small TV. It helps that the monitor is really portable. I bought a second camera when my second child was born and found that it worked great as well. I wish they could offer dual scanning where it would automatically scan each room. About 9 months after I bought it the monitor sound gave out on me. I called Summer Infant and they offered to replace it, however, I was required to send back the old one first. When I told them I could not go that long w/o a monitor b/c I have two children I am watching they offerred to take my credit card as a deposit and immediately send another monitor out provided I returned the damaged one as soon as I got the new one. It all worked out well. I have been absolutely pleased with this monitor and would recommend it to anyone! I also found when my sound on the monitor went out that it was much better than the fisher price sound monitor that I had to use as a backup. Excellent product.
Never received it.
I never received the product, the supplier is supposed to ship a replacement weeks ago and still haven't received it. Customer service is aweful!!!!
Static static and more static
I cannot use this baby monitor where my wireless router is, which happens to be my bedroom. There is way too much static. What's funny is when I walk around the room, the static gets worse. It's like my body gets in the middle of the interference between my router and my monitor. I have issues with the volume too. It's either loud or quiet. The monitor is heavy too. Can't wear this one on your pajama bottoms without losing your pants. The picture is decent and the battery life is good. I'm off to search for another monitor without interference.
