Editorial Review:
Comes with three main components including the Parent's Unit which is the receiver, Child's Unit which is the transmitter and Wireless Crib Unit which is the baby soother. It is one of the only models of baby video monitor around to offer soothing sounds and vibration for baby. This Summer Infant monitor is great for parents with a large household. The Parent Unit controls the Crib Unit remotely from the parent's location. The overall package has a range of 350 feet. The Parent's Unit is small and lightweight and boasts a 1.8 in. color LCD screen. There is a belt clip and flip stand for convenience on the Parent's Unit. The Child's Unit has night vision which is found on many monitors by Summer Infant. The night vision allows parents to see baby in a darkened nursery. The Crib Unit is unique as it calms and relaxes baby. The Crib Unit plays 3 different lullabies, 2 nature sounds and includes a nightlight. The Crib Unit also offers 2 different levels of vibration to keep baby calm. Both the Crib Unit and Child Unit can be mounted to a wall or placed on nursery furniture next to the crib. Requires 4 AA batteries.
Only concern would be that it does interfere with my home WIFI (as opposed to other reviewers) since it is running at 2.4 GHz. Video/Audio remains super clear, however computer internet connections are compromised.
On the up side, we didn't encounter any interference with any other monitors or other wireless devices so that was great.
We ended up getting the Safety 1st digital video monitor and it's great. There's no interference, the screen is also small however it has a super zoom in feature so that made up for the small screen.
We have experienced nothing but a clear image and clear sound. The build quality is solid. The crib soother is pretty cool, but we really don't use it much.
In night-vision mode, the resolution on the screen is just good enough that I can make out facial expressions and see my baby's pacifier...which is good enough for me.
The only reason I did not give this item five stars is because it apparently needs LOTS of light to work in day (color) mode as I haven't yet seen that happen. It's really not important to me as the product's purpose is extremely well fulfilled.

Great Secure Video Monitor
Product is very well made. Small screen is large enough to see what needs to be seen. Audio levels are very good.
Only concern would be that it does interfere with my home WIFI (as opposed to other reviewers) since it is running at 2.4 GHz. Video/Audio remains super clear, however computer internet connections are compromised.

Baby Monitor
Overall, this monitor works really well and gets the job done. The picture quality is good, although it is black and white. It is easy to use and gives us the freedom to do household chores while keeping an eye on the baby. I did however just read the other reviews. We have a wireless router and have had our internet go in and out. We just switched to another internet provider hoping that would solve the problem not knowing it was the interference with the monitor. Great buy if you don't have a router! 2008-08-05
Great monitor - unless you have a wireless router
We purchased this digital monitor to avoid picking up all the other kids in the neighborhood. It works great--unless you want to use a wireless router at the same time. I called the manufacturer and they said they know some people are having an issue with wireless router interference but they didn't have a fix. They suggested we return the product. 2008-07-08
Poor Camera Quality, Small Screen and too Bulky and Big
We have and love the non-digital 900 mhz Summer infant video montior. The problem is that it only had 2 channels with our old monitor so we were able view our child and our neighbor's. When we had baby#2, we wanted the ability to see both our own children so we needed to move to digital or another frequency and tried this one. To our disappointment, this one was way too bulky, the screen for viewing the baby was much too small, our old one was 2.5 and this one is 1.8 or 1.5. Also, the picture quality in this digital one wasn't as good as our old one for some reason.
On the up side, we didn't encounter any interference with any other monitors or other wireless devices so that was great.

Great Monitor
I searched high and low for a good monitor for our newborn. I'm an engineering type who was very discouraged by the poor reviews of previous products and was glad I waited until this was released. Our house has two wireless networks (802.11b and g), a microwave and a slew of other wireless techno-gadgets.
