Product Description
The BabyTouch Color Video Monitor is the most innovative baby video monitor on the market. It features a revolutionary touch-screen controlled monitor, the first of its kind. Like many of the smart phones, simply touch the screen to control the monitor's pan, scan, zoom and brightness features. Two other great aspects include a stylish, magnetic docking station for the handheld unit and a wireless, rechargeable battery-powered dock for the camera. Another wonderful feature is the unique talk-bac Ok, so I gave this monitor 4 stars rather than 5 because it does have some annoying flaws. I have researched so many monitors for multiple cameras and this one seemed the best. I had the Summer Infant Best View, which was AMAZING!! I sold it to a friend to help pay for this one, and I was kind of sad because I wasn't sure how this one would compare. It seems, like most of the reviews, as long as you don't get a "lemon", it works great.
I purchased mine from BabiesRus.com and ordered the extra camera too (they have it in stock right now, and Amazon does not.) Basically, the first one I tried, the monitor was blank and showed nothing. But if I hooked it up to my TV, I could see the baby sleeping, so I knew it wasn't the camera. I brought that one back and got another one. This one works!!! The video quality is not as good as the Best View, but is good enough. I have listed the PROS and CONS below!!
Summer Infant Baby Touch Digital Color Video Monitor
PROS
-Normal amount of interference with Wi-Fi. You will have this problem with most video monitors.
-No static...very clear sound, and we are 2300 feet from my daughter's room.
-The battery on the monitor appears to be pretty good, lasts all day and I charge it each night, even though it is not completely drained.
-The battery pack for the camera is a neat feature, but I haven't hooked it up. Keep in mind that if you purchase an additional camera, the battery pack is not included.
-The volume is really great and there are no problems with hearing the baby rustling around on the sheets, which is nice.
-Scanning feature!!!!! This feature is what I have been looking for. When you put it on "scan," it scans between the cameras you have set up. When the video is on, you see and hear what is being monitored (1st camera, then 2nd...and back to 1st again.) When you are sleeping, and the video is off, the sound is still scanning between rooms. On other monitors, the sound would stop on the room you had the camera on last. What's the point in that? Also, some have no sound and only video scanning. Like any person is just going to stay awake all night and stare at the video monitor to see if there are any issues with the babies. This one does the trick, though, with both video and audio scanning.
-The monitor is very sensitive to touch and easy to use.
-Camera is easy to swivel around to your preference...from the comfort of your bedroom, or wherever...though, I pretty much just keep it where it is. :)
-I love the intercom feature because sometimes I just talk to my daughter just for fun...when she is awake and I am about to go get her. She looks at the camera and says, "mama??" I love it!!
-There is a really nice "leg" on the monitor that is easy to open and close so you can stand it up, if you choose. (The dock props it up, as well, which makes quick "glances" at the monitor easy. If you choose not to use the dock, the plug goes right into the monitor if you don't enjoy the dock. (I discuss this below in the Con section.))
CONS
-It appears that there are a lot of "lemons" out there, so if yours has problems, bring it back and get another one right away.
-The dock is really light and is magnetic, so when I try to pick it up off the dock with one hand, it usually picks up the dock and drops it on the floor. Annoying, but not a deal-breaker.
-The "talk" button is right by the power button and since you have to hold the power button to turn the monitor off and hold the talk button to talk to the child, some people have reported accidentally holding the talk button and waking the child. This has not happened to me. It would be wise for Summer Infant to make a minor change in that area.
-Video quality can definitely be improved. The night vision is better than the color, but really, it is always dark when I am monitoring her, so this is not a problem. And, again, not a deal-breaker for me.
