Safety 1st High Definition Digital monitor.
We live in the city, so in rather close proximity (houses are only 5-10 feet away from each other), and haven't had any interference with this monitor. There's never any static. The handheld piece can be used while plugged up, or charged. (Great when you forget to charge it!) Also, the lights go off to let you know when noise is happening-- great if you are vacuuming or doing something that would trump the noise coming out of the monitor. I haven't used any other monitors. I did a alot of research, and this seemed like the way to go-- no channels to bother with-- and no worry with interference with other cordless devices.. as its a High Def monitor. I think they also make a video version, but I can't vouch for it...

Baby Monitor Set: Which one to choose?

Expecting

Answer
Your best choice would be the: Summer Infant D & N Handheld Color Video Baby Monitor

The price is approximately $140, and you get some great features like night vision capabilities, high quality sound and high quality color video. This unit will also transmit up to 350 ft, so you will never be out of range in your home.

I wrote a review for the Summer Color Baby Monitor here:

best video monitor at reasonable price?

Q. hi.if you have really used a baby video monitor ,please share you experience about the model and brand and also suggest me a good one at reasonable price.and what are th features generally these monitors have like monitor is portable from one room to another, volume control and what else? and which one is the easiest and the most flexible one to capture a baby who moves around a lot in his pack and play.thanks in advance

Answer
There are a few to choose from. The one the previous answerer has is probably the Summer Infant Day and Night Video monitor for $100. It is a good monitor and the screen is large enough to pan out for a baby that moves a lot. The negative is it's not portable. For $140 you can get the same monitor with an additional portable audio monitor so you can listen into the room even if you go outside.

I'm not a big fan of most of the portable monitors for the reason you mentioned. With a 1-3" screen, you have to have it focused on a part of the crib, and if your child moves out of that area, you've got an expensive audio monitor.

One exception is the MobiCam. It is a handheld unit ($130-160) depending on the model. For another $50 you can buy an A/V kit which allows you to hook the monitor up to your wireless network, a laptop or TV. If you're Techy enough you can even stream it to watch when you're away from home.

Both the Summer Infant and MobiCam have multiple channels, and sell additional cameras so you can monitor more than one room without having to buy entire systems. Child 1's room is on channel A and Child 2's room is on channel B, and you just switch channels on the monitor to switch between rooms.

Hope this helps,

What is the best video/audio monitor to buy?

Nikki

I am looking to buy a video baby monitor through walmart. I am looking at the Graco iMonitor Baby Video Monitor, the Summer Infant 900 MHz 2.5" Color Handheld Video Monitor, and the MobiCam Ultra Wireless Color Video Monitor System. I have read reviews on all of them and have compared all of the features but still do not know which one would be best. Can anyone give me any input please? Thanks!!!!!!

Answer
Hi! Well since no one else answered your question I just thought to give some input from my experience. Perhaps you haven't yet had your baby? I was the very same way. I went out and planned every last product to put into my nursery: $200 bassinette, expensive travel system, breast pump set, sounds n lights baby monitor (fisher-price) etc. He won't sleep in the bassinette, the travel system is nice but the stroller that went with it is so big and bulky and so inconvenient and heavy to unload that I never us it. I used the breast pump only a few times because my milk didn't come in properly. The monitor is rarely used because I carry the baby with me everywhere in the house (in his carrier) but sometimes when I have the right batteries for it, I use it when I am outside visiting neighbors. I guess my point in saying all of this is that I think you should wait until the baby comes and you know for sure what will work for you and also you won't waste a lot of time and money on stuff that you regret and never use.

Has anyone used a video baby monitor?

How do they work?
What are the pros and cons?
I am thinking about buying one that you can have two monitors and see two rooms at once and was wondering how many people prefer it.

Congrats on baby #2!

I couldn't live with out my video monitor!! I have the Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor. The picture is so clear both at night and during the day. I love being able to check on my baby with out waking her. I don't even have to get out of bed unless she really needs me! I think if I only had the audio, I would have been getting up a lot more often to investigate every sound, especially during the first few months. The handheld part has a button on top so you can turn off the video screen if the light bothers you at night. Then if you hear something you feel you need to check on, simply click the button and the video comes back on. I read the reviews for this product. Many people say they could not get a signal. I never had a problem. I also read that they can interfere with wi-fi. My husband is a web developer... he never would have allowed wi-fi interference!

I highly recommend this monitor to all my friends. The only con I can think of is that I have had to change the channel due to static. Seriously, it's a flick of a button and I've had to do it maybe 3 times in 7 months. No biggie! I know you can get an extra camera for this monitor, but I don't need one yet. Here is what one person commented: "We bought a second camera to go with the monitor we already had. I love being able to switch back and forth between my two kids' rooms. Only issue is if the monitor is too close to one camera, you can have interference when trying to check on the other one."

I am looking for a wifi based webcam with a handheld receiver to use as a baby monitor. Any recommendations?

I want to use a wifi based camera as a baby video monitor to eliminate interference and the possibility of others being able to see our house on their monitor. However, I don't want to have to view the webcam on my computer, I want a handheld monitor instead. Has anyone used something like this?

Answer
This one should do you just fine

Do you still need to use batteries for something that has a mains adaptor?

Tanya-Lovi

I want to buy a baby monitor. But every description i have read for them so far reads "Mains adaptor included for parent unit. Parent unit batteries required 1 x 3.6V Lithium-ion". So i am unsure as to whether this means that the batteries are optional, should you wish to not plug it in. Or whether i need to use both. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Gosh... "K - There was no need for that bitchiness... Grow up"!

Answer
How most of them work is that the parent station plugs into the wall, hence charging the rechargeable battery (which are usually included). Battery use is optional if you plan on keeping the handheld device in the charger at all times, but it is quite convenient to carry around with you to keep an ear open for baby. So yes, for optimal use you would use both.

This is the one we purchased 3+ yrs. ago...still works dandy. It uses the rechargeable system I mentioned above. http://www.amazon.com/Secure-Coverage-Digital-Monitor-Parent/dp/B004AHKUHW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315347601&sr=8-1
