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.

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...

Boo
Boo- don't go with this unit. In my opinion, when you spend this much on a product, it should at least last as long as you need it to. Like while your children are little enough to want to monitor them. I thought I would be able to use this for my 2nd child, but no such luck. I have a stereo that lasted 30 years and this monitor's volume started to malfunction after only about a year.
If you call they tell you to blow air into the volume dial opening. ???? What? Because dust gets in there. How bizarre. Just as other reviewers mention, you can have a refurbished model for 80 bucks (no thank you.) The battery stops charging within no time at all, as well, so one would need to almost immediately replace the battery. I always charge it all day long and it still won't even allow me to listen with the video screen turned off for more than a few minutes. I also was never in love with the volume dial in general, being that you rotate UP to turn it down, and rotate DOWN to turn it up. I can get used to anything, but it doesn't make much sense.
I give this product a big "BOO" for the money. One year warranty? Really? Shouldn't it really last longer that ONE YEAR? The rep told me a lot of people have no problems with it... well that's nice for them but sucks for me!

Good video Monitor
Works great, have wireless phones and a wi-fi network hub that is between the camera and monitor and it work's w/o interference. Sound works good, and turning on the lullaby remotely is a good tool to use. Don't like that the audio cuts off if there is minimal sound. The whole unit goes mute until a sound is loud enough to trigger it and with the delay of the speaker kicking in, who knows what audio source actually tripped the speaker. Speaker isn't loud, keep that in mind for the hearing impaired. A lot of the audio-only devices are LOUD, this one...not so much.

We've had this thing for about a month, works like a champ. Keep in mind the decreased audio may be because we have the camera kinda far away to get a wide angle. We bought this for the "big girl bed" in the event she got up and around the safety bar.

It's okay when it works, while it worked
The main reason I purchase this monitor was for it's interference free feature, but that's about the only thing that really worked. The moment we received this monitor and test it, we noticed already that the sound comes in and out. Since we cannot find this at any of our local stores, we decide to live with it since we only use it for naps (our baby's crib is in our room).
So basically our video monitor only has video but not reliable sound, and then after a couple months, the video started to go too. The video quality got so bad I can hardly make out my baby's face! I called Levana support and the operator sounded like she did not believe the video quality has problems, told me a couple of times that I need APPROVAL FROM THEM before I can pay for the shipping to send it back and wait up to 6 weeks for them to test it. I asked them what am I gonna do without a baby monitor for 6 weeks, and they basically told me it was my problem. Soon after that, even the poor quality video went in and out. So we gave up and pay another $200 for a new summer infant bestview monitor and call our internet provider to reroute the cable so to minimize the interference with our wireless router. We're extremely happy with the summer infant monitor, the sound quality is excellent and we love that we can remote control the camera and zoom to look for our baby without going in her room. (she rolls around a lot!)

I read some really good reviews of this product before I made the purchase, and I believe that had I got one that works, I'll be quite happy too. So buyers be warned, if you buy this and has problems, you'll need to get approval, pay for shipping, purchase an additional monitor while you wait for them to test it and decide whether they are going to fix the alleged problem. All in all I think this is quite a risky choice.

Disappointed
I bought this monitor because of the great reviews and am very disappointed. The video feature is great, I like the added music feature and the battery life is great HOWEVER - the audio quality is TERRIBLE. My son is 3 weeks old and still sleeping in our room so it hasn't been a huge issue, but unless he's blue in the face screaming, the audio monitor won't pick it up. If he's down for a nap during the day, my first indication that he's awake is that I can see him moving in the video and his mouth is open or I can hear him down the hall (but not on the monitor). When it does pick up sound it goes in and out and doesn't hold the sound. I can't put him to sleep in his room overnight b/c I'm worried I won't hear him until he's hysterical...I haven't tried to return this yet, but i hope amazon makes it an easy process.

COLOMBIA -CALIFICIACION PRODUCTO
Este equipo lo compre por Amazon desde Colombia (Bogotá)Realmente había tenido algunas cámaras inalámbricas pero definitivamente es la mejor.

De verdad, que la facilidad de prenderla, conecatrla y usarla es muy pero muy simple. EL alcance es excelente, he podido colocar la cámara en el cuarto del bebé y recorrer todo mi apartamento ( 120mts cuadrados) y la imagen es perfecta, no hay interferecnias de ningún tipo, el color es muy bueno, eso si, hay que colcoar la cámara muy cerca al bebé apra verlo bien, si se aleja mucho no se aprecian bien los detalles, pero se sigue viendo bien. El sonido es perfecto y se puede graduar, el botón que tiene para que la cámara solo e active cuando hay rudio es muy bueno, eso sireve para que el monitor no ilumine mucho nuestro cuarto cuando esta encendida, o sea, apretamos el boton, la camara queda oscura, cuando la bebé llora se enciende...excelente. Por otro lado, podemos desde nuestro monitor, oprimir un botón para que la cámara emita tes tipos de musica en la cámara de la bebé, o sea desde nuestro cuarto seleccionamos la música y en la camara de ella suena..tono inalámbricamente.
la camara no pesa mucho, y se puede portar en la correa del cinturón.
La cámara viene con un soporte que se puede ajustar a cualquier tipo de cuna, corral, o cama.
Sinceramente estoy feliz con este producto.

Better than not having one
The good thing about this product is that it was easy for me to understand how it works and to get it up and running (I shy away from any technical equipment) The not so good thing is the reception is fuzzy on either the monitor or the handheld. This doesn't happen all the time, just when I walk near the monitor. The other not so good thing is that the picture is not always in color. I haven't figured that out yet. It could be a simple fix. But a great thing about this set is that it has an awesome microphone. I can hear every single gurgle, swallow and movement and this is priceless. This is my 1st purchase of an infant monitor set, so I don't have a basis to comparing. I hope this helps.

Whew, Peace of Mind!
I absolutely love this monitor!!!! We were very hesitant to move our 7 1/2 month old out of our bedroom and into his own room, but having the monitor made the transition so much easier. The nursery is on the opposite side of the house and I worried that the monitor would not work well--I was wrong! The signal is strong with interference only when someone stands directly in front of the monitor. I keep the 7" flat screen on my nightstand and the hand held unit is oh so handy too! The audio is so sensitive that I can even hear my baby breathing.
Frankly, I just don't know what we would have done without this monitor. It's worth the investment!

Expensive and Lackluster
We bought this to monitor our first baby. Here are our thoughts.

The handheld unit has an annoying "feature" whereby it saves battey power by turning the screen off seemingly every five minutes. If you want to do continuous handheld monitoring of your baby without being plugged into the wall outlet, this is not an effective unit. Pressing the button on top of the unit to get the video back is tiresome.

The "widescreen" larger monitor is nice and we keep it in our bedroom. Unfortunately, it is a stretched 4:3 picture made to look widescreen. Our baby's head looks enlongated when he is sleeping in his crib.

Another issue is the amount of interference to which the 900MHz band is susceptible.

The infrared is nice, as we can see our baby in the dark.

Finally, I was excited to learn that you could order an additional cable that allows you to plug in the handheld unit into your TV. Unfortunately, the company makes this cable difficult to obtain. Instead of offering it online, they require you to call them on the phone and give someone you don't know your credit card information. Purchasing on the web is safer than using your credit card in a restaurant or over the phone! I emailed them to find out where I could purchase this cable and they sent back an email telling me to call them on the phone. Why not just make it available online...or include it in the box? In 2010, you don't advertise a feature and make it impossible to get.

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!

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.

This Monitor Rocks!!
This is an awesome monitor. The night vision works very well. We have a 9 year old son with Epilepsy, so we wanted a video monitor. We placed this monitor in the far corner of the room and can see my son on the other side, with the room completely dark. Additionally, the camera can pan around the room by using the handheld unit. You can even zoom in on your child. The picture is a little grainy at night, but it's still really good. Again, in a room that is so dark, you can't see your hand in front of your face, you can see your child very clear. The fact that this is a digital monitor is a bonus. This monitor is more secure than the other video monitors. I can't say enough about this monitor.
