Summer Infant Complete Coverage Color Video Monitor Set with 7″ LCD Screen and 1.8″ Handheld Unit

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.

Makes mommy sleep better!
Great product!!! No problem with reception at all!!! I just wish the screen on the hand held monitor was a little bigger.

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 Product
Good Product, the image is good and can reach more than 100m in open air spaces.
The noise is not a problem at night, I recommend.
