Excellent Monitor
1. Nice video even in less light

a little interference, but overall worth it!
I already had a summer video baby monitoring system and it was operating worse and worse. I purchased this one to replace it and have been very happy. We keep one camera in my baby's room and one in my 4 yr old's room. This unit only comes with one camera unless you purchase an additional one. There is only one spot in the house that I have found a popping interference sound on the monitor. We have a two story home with a finished basement and when my 9 month old naps on the 2nd floor I often am in the basement with my other two children. I just bring the portable monitor with me and it works wonderfully. I was impressed by the clarity of the monitor, even though it is much smaller than my old one. I even bring it outside if I am working in the yard while he is napping. Overall, a good buy for the money.

Good if you don't mind NO privacy...seeing other babies
I did my research before buying the Summer Infant Day and Night monitor. It seems like many people opt for this monitor and it got mostly good reviews so I figured I would try it out.

At first, I did like the monitor. The picture is very clear, even at night. And the range is pretty good, I could go outside and still get a pretty good signal for video/audio.

Right away, I noticed something very STRANGE: I occasionally saw a different crib!! I tried the other channel, but the other channel's signal was not as good. Seeing the other baby's crib happened when the reception for my channel wasn't as good. I live in a townhome, but I know for a fact that there are no babies in cribs in my building or in the building next to me. It might be a building across the street?!

At first I thought I could live with that since otherwise it was a good monitor, but as I thought about it, I became more uncomfortable with the idea. Someone may occasionally be able to see my son. This is not safe at all. I don't want some random stranger being able to see my son's room, his routine, what he looks like, etc. Plus, at night I go into my son's room in a shirt and underwear.

If you don't mind other people being able to peep into your house, then this is a good monitor, otherwise, opt for a digital monitor that is more secure. We will be returning this one asap.

good product but needs a mechanism to adjust
We love this monitor. The video quality is better than expected. The audio is very sensitive if you have the baby further away from the monitor. You can control the volume, which is great. Night vision is very good. Of course, you can't see exactly what the baby is doing, but I can see whether he has opened his eyes or is just wiggling in his sleep.

I have two complaints:
1. There is no way to know whether your baby is in the picture without having the mobile unit. Then, I worry about positive feedback and noise if I bring it into the room. Not to mention I forget most of the time. So, I always end up going up and down the stairs to adjust the tilt.

2. When you turn it first on, it goes into the video only mode. You can't hear even if the baby screams. I learned it the hard way. Make sure you turn the dial just a little past the on position.

I know some people mentioned that the security is bad, everyone with a base can see the picture. It is not a problem in my neighborhood where houses are far apart. I tried to take the monitor to the neighbor's house and it did not work there. If you are living in an apartment though, I would be wary. Countless times, I walked passed the transmitter not in appropriate clothing...

We're Happy
We've had this monitor for nearly 7 months and we love it so far. We rarely get interference. All features work great and we find it to be very convenient. We love the fact that we can see our baby, without having to go in her room and risk disturbing her, to check if she's really in need of something or if she's just being noisy in her sleep. The microphone is so sensitive that we can hear her breathing.

Our only complaint is a design flaw - the green light on the front of the camera. It is VERY bright in the dark and shines right in the baby's face, as that is where the camera is pointed. When she wakes up all she can see is this bright green dot relentlessly glaring in her face. We really don't need that light to tell us the camera is on because we can check by turning on the monitor. But if it MUST be there, it could be positioned in the back of the camera and be a little less conspicuous.

Video monitor is a must have and this one is awesome
A number of people told me that having a video monitor was unnecessary and kinda made me feel silly for wanting one for my first baby, but I am SO glad we have it and that we picked this one. My baby has had some health issues, including acid reflux, and being able to see his behavior when sleeping has been very helpful in gauging how he's feeling and if his medications should be adjusted and whatnot. Even when he slept in his bassinet in our room, I used this monitor so I wouldn't have to get out of bed to check on him (I'm blind without my glasses.) I could just roll over and look at the monitor even though it was dark in our room. I also love being able to see how cute my baby is when he's sleeping. He sleeps on him tummy now with his butt in the air, and it's just so adorable. It's also very nice when we're watching TV, we can have the volume completely down and still be able to monitor him visually. I also use it when I shower so I can keep an eye on my baby and not worry that I can't hear him.
My only complaints are the somewhat poor range on the monitor. You can get static (both audible and visual) in certain parts of our 2,000 sq ft home. But, if I just turn it one way or the other, it usually goes away. Also, my baby sleeps with a fan in his room and I wish the microphone had a gate on it that would allow you determine how sensitive the microphone is. But it doesn't have one, so at night we have to hear the whir of the fan through the monitor. It doesn't sound horrible and I sleep with a fan too, so the sounds just blend together.
One thing to keep in mind is how easy it is to adjust the volume on this brand. I noticed that some of the other styles have menus you have to go into to adjust the volume and I think that would be very annoying.
This monitor is awesome and well worth the money.

couldn't ask for better service or product quality
Great price, product as advertised, arrived promptly and in perfect condition.
It seems that the life-span is no longer than 14 months on this product.
I can't help but wonder whether exposing a child to Infra Red radiation (which is how these cameras work)for prodlonged periods is safe.

Great sound, good picture, no feedback from other wireless devices
I had a nice set of monitors a friend gave me. When I tried to use them the first time there was so much white noise I was afraid I wouldn't be able to hear the baby plus there was no way I could sleep with that noise right next to my head. This is our first child so I'm a little over protective. He had been sleeping in our room in his bassinet but he was making so much noise at night he would keep waking my husband so I moved to the nursery with him. I was ready to move back to my own bed so I couldn't wait to get these monitors. The sound is so clear I can hear him breathing! There is even a 900Mhz cordless phone set up in that room (same frequency as the monitor)and there is no feedback. We have two cordless phones and wireless internet and none seem to bother this monitor. The video works great for us. I can see if his eyes are open or not so I can tell if he's just making noises in his sleep or if I really need to get out of my warm bed and go get him. There is a nightlight in the room, for us to see not for him, so that might help the night vision camera. Overall, well worth the money spent, got me sleeping back in my bed with a little extra piece of mind.

Peace of mind
Got this because a friend recommended a video monitor over an audio-only monitor. I love being able to see my little one whenever I hear him stir, without going to his room and trying to be super-quiet, especially at night when you can't see him without a light of some sort when you go into his room. Whenever we have company while he's napping, they all get a kick out of being able to see him sleeping. The only drawback I've found is the level of interference. If either the microwave, cell phone or portable telephone is in use, the audio becomes static-y and the video gets snowy. I even am able to see someone else's child if I switch from my chosen Channel A to Channel B! I must confess, however, that I live between two major metro areas with multiple governmental agencies and airports, so I'm sure that doesn't help. Regardless, I highly recommend that parents have a video monitor.

Pan / Tilt good feature for us
We had a Summer monitor until recently for our 2 yr old daughter, but once she was out of the crib and running around her room at night and during nap time we found ourselves needing to see the entire room to keep an eye on what she was up to. The Pan / Tilt feature is what we were looking for and it works very well. The picture and sound are about average for baby monitors imo which is sufficient.

We had a problem at first with interference from our 2.4 GHz phones upstairs (the 3 CH's of the monitor 2.414 - 2.45 GHz was no help) - switching them off at night with plans to switch them out seems to have fixed that.

All in all, not bad and does the job. Be wary of your phone and wireless router freq.s beforehand unless you're open to switching them out.

Great system in comparison to others out there.
I purchased this system to monitor my infant in a crib and my 2 year old in a toddler bed.
Both share a bedroom.
With this cam I can pan back and forth between the two sleeping kids (from far away) to check on them from anywhere in the house.
The night vision capability is the most crisp and clear of any system I've owned.
I've had Safety 1st, Summer Infant and Sylvania baby monitors prior.
All were only available in black and white resolution and were not portable monitors.
The Safety 1st($200) and Summer($100) monitors blew out in less than a year.
The Sylvania still works, but lacked picture clarity at night and sometimes would transmit an annoying clicking sound due to mystery interference.
I have never written an online review before, but was compelled to write this one.
I had one small problem with the unit and 4uCam called me to rectify it immediately (while they were on vacation!)
I highly recommend this camera system, and suggest that you get the rechargeable battery pack and the AC adapter so you can plug it in or roam with it without having the power dwindle out.
Any interference is always made worse by weak batteries.

Useless
This is my first monitor camera (and my first baby). After 15 days of use I have to admit my mistake with the characteristics I chose to select this product.

First of all, PAN camera is a gadget more than a useful product to monitor baby.

- The signal of the camera is interfered for any 2.4Ghz phone or WiFi network. The interfence is so deep you have to mute the receiver.

- Brick walls reduce the signal power, reducing the distance of use to a less than 6 meters. After that the noise in audio make it useless.

I have 2 2.4Ghz phones, and a 802.11g network. I have to decide between them, so I prefer to turn this monitor off.

I don't return this products, because I live outside EEUU.

Go with the older model, 02640
So far so good but I wanted to share a bit of insight I gathered during the grueling process of monitor shopping. On the whole, this one is decent--battery life is at least 8 hours if video is not constantly on and the picture is workable, though not every crystal clear.

That said, the first Best View that I bought from [...] had a really grainy, pixelated image and wasn't all that hot. After reading other raving reviews I wondered if I hadn't gotten a dud. So I bought a second Best View from Target. It turned out that the first monitor was a 02644, the most recent model of this monitor, and the second was a 02640, the older version. Wondering if it was just my imagination that the older model seemed better I called Summer Infant customer service. The person I spoke to--who happened to be very helpful and pleasant--said that for some reason the newer model isn't working quite as well as the older one.

Long story short, it's a decent monitor all around but go with the older model if you have the choice.

Good monitor for us
This was the second video monitor we tried. The first (Summer Infant Day and Night) we returned because of the lack of privacy- you could see other baby's crib! So on to this Summer Infant Best View Handheld Color Video Monitor with 2.5" Screen.

The picture is not as good at night as the Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor with 1.8" Screen - Silver. The picture on the Summer Infant Best View is definitely grainy. We probably have it on the higher end of what the instructions recommend for the length the camera should be mounted away from the target. Sometimes I have a hard time figuring out if my son is in his bed or if it is his stuffed animals and blankets...but eventually I can figure it out. And it is good enough for what we use it for. Just not as crisp as the Night and Day monitor.

What I like about this monitor and why I will probably keep this monitor is the pan function. My son is 2 yrs old and in a twin bed. He likes to get up and move around/play in his room. So the pan is VERY useful.

Turning the volume up/down is not a problem. It is like one extra button to push to get to it in the "menu" screen to change the volume. I know a lot of people comment on that.

Also- I have not noticed any flashing lights at all, as others have commented on.

There is NO interference (we have cordless phones, wifi, etc). With my Day and Night monitor by Summer Infant, there was a LOT of static and interference around my home. There has been NONE with the Best View monitor.

Range seems good too. We have a 3 story townhome and I can go 2 stories below where the camera is and it is perfectly fine. I have been outside too, with the Best View monitor, and again, no problems (except it is hard to see the video in daylight).

Overall, we are happy with this monitor and will most likely be keeping it, unless anything happens in the next month or so.

A great buy
This is a great video monitor. I love the zoom, pan and tilt options. yes, you need to adjust the volume in the menu, but you only hit the menu button once and that's the first thing that appears, so not that big of a deal.

The motor in the unit is silent, so it does not disturb baby.

I have an older Summer model in the house that gets a lot of interference, but this one comes through crystal clear, no matter where I am in my two-level house.

My only peeve is the auto-shut off of the video every few minutes. I have to keep hitting the button on top to wake up the video feed. This does not happen if the unit is plugged in. I know this is to conserve batteries but the choice should be left up to the user!

Worth the money
Great product. Mounts easily to wall. We placed it near the ceiling so when our son is a toddler we could monitor his play in the room. Good clarity at night with the "night vision" feature. Other reviews have noted the difficulty of adjusting the volume. It is not a problem. You literally press one button and then move the joy stick to adjust the volume. Furthermore, I find that I leave the volume on "3 bars" all the time anyway. The only thing that I needed to modify was the lights on it. When there is sound in the baby's room the light stip along the bottom of the picture light up from green to red to indicate level of noise. However if you are running an air conditioner in the baby's room then the monitor lights are always in the red. I put a piece of duct tape over it so at night when I'm trying to sleep there isn't a bright red light flashing! Otherwise this is a terrific monitor!

Great Buy!
We love this monitor. I researched a lot before I purchased this monitor and I am glad I did. This one definitely was a great price. Many were selling for 2 or 3 hundred dollars and had bad reviews. This one was only 150. I love that I can look at the monitor when I wake up in the middle of the night worrying about him. This way I don't go into the room like I was before and disturbing him. He doesn't notice it at all. We have wireless internet and all that fun stuff and I have never had interference. I believe this has been the best purchase we have made since our little has joined our family.

Really 4.5 stars...Great Product.....
I bought this for our baby and this is the one giftthat has given us peace of mind the most by being able to check in with our baby when we hear noises without having to go in the room. The sound is great, picture pretty damn good for a pitch dark room. We bought another for our daycare provider to watch our baby sleep and have bought one for every one of our friends that has a baby as this is the single best gift for new parents....I would only knock it half a star because the picture does deteriorate a bit over time, but just a tad over a long period nothing significant....and the only static you hear is when you are 50 yards away in the backyard working or something...

The monitor did not work for more than 1 week.
First the picture died out and then in a couple of days it stopped working altogether.
I'm not sure if it was just our bad luck, or this sort of malfunction happens frequently.

Always goes down hill
I will start off by saying that the only reason why this product got any stars from me is because they have phenomenal customer service. Unfortunately great customer service still can't make up for the fact that after 6 months of this monitor working amazingly it suddenly takes a turn for the worse and stays there. I have two camera's because I have two babies. The video only works for my son's room when plugged in (channel B). The audio always seems to die, it goes from crystal clear to pure static. Either the audio is too loud with static, or it doesn't work at all. I have to keep a back up audio monitor in both babies room. It's not my house either because we just moved and the same thing happened. I can't live without the video part because both my babies are loud sleepers so I need to see if they are up or just making noise. I am no longer under warranty so I can't bother customer service anymore.
