Static is a problem
We have been using this product for our newborn for the past three months. It is easy to install and operate, and the handheld piece is small enough to be portable, but has a large enough picture to see your baby. The problem is that if we are more than one room away from the base with the handheld, there is a lot of static - noise as well as picture. It might be because we live in an apartment, and there is probably a lot of interference in a small area (two cordless phones, cell phones, modem, router). It's still usable, but we often keep the sound down very low and use the picture to monitor the baby. If we had the sound up, the constant static would drown out any noise from the baby (and drive us insane). Not sure there is a product on the market that wouldn't have this problem, but we have considered just using our iPhones as monitors (there are several apps available for less than ), and stop using this one altogether. Wish we had thought of that before we spent 0 on this one.
Video monitor is SOOO much better than an audio monitor
Being able to SEE your baby is SOOOO much better than just hearing (you can see if your baby is on his/her stomach, etc.). Set up is very easy - just position the camera, plug it in and you're good to go! The downside - it becomes much more addictive than the audio monitor - you find yourself constantly watching your baby on the monitor. Oh no - his pacifier just fell out (but no crying). Should I go do something??? I would highly recommend this product!!!
Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor with 1.8" Screen - Silver
Overall a good product. The only thing that I can't figure out is that the monitor picture doesn't work unless the ceiling fan in my infant's room is on. Go figure.
Picked up neighborhood cribs
I purchased this from another vendor this past weekend and will be returning it. We live in a very dense subdivision (townhouses, etc) and I was able to view 3 other cribs from the neighborhood...including sound from one of them. I'm not at all comfortable with the fact that if I can see them...anyone can/would surely be able to see into our home as well.
I was hoping that we wouldn't have the problems with the interference, because it is a very nice design, video had good quality and a decent price.
