Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is our third monitor from Summer Infant. This monitor replaced the version previous which was the Touch version. I'm happy to see the multiple IR leds on the cameras which greatly improves night vision clarity and distance. So, that is a fantastic improvement from the old version. The monitor itself is light and feels quite cheap. The screen is over-flush slightly so you always feel the sharp edge of it. Not going to cut you but unpleasant and annoying. When plugged in and off there is no charging indicator and there isn't a slide in charge dock which was convenient with the Touch edition. The split screen is a nice feature making it easy to see all cameras and switch audio easily. It is a tad sluggish at responding when navigating. *update* I forgot to mention the static noise that is quite loud when the monitor is on the lowest volume. It isn't interference but more likely the squelch setting like on CB radios. It is loud and irritating enough that if you sleep with the monitor next to you, you won't be sleeping. Also, there is no sound scan like the previous model that would switch audio through all cameras every 3 seconds. That's a key feature missing. The cameras have decent range but surprisingly it is not as good as the older ones. We would take it outside during the summer time and this monitor doesn't make it very far before losing signal. But, if you are just staying inside the house it should be fine. There doesn't seem to be any interference with the many electronics running in my house. All said, it's a good monitor though I would have liked to see some improvements in quality and range. *update* The longer I use this monitor the more I'm dissatisfied with it. The battery life is terrible, and really the only thing I like on it is the video clarity. I'm pretty sure the first time this thing falls off a counter top it will break in thirty pieces. I have emailed Summer Infant about my dissatisfaction and have not received a response yet. Products are supposed to get better over time and this being our third generation monitor from them I feel like they have dropped the ball. *update 2* After 2 weeks of not hearing back from Summer Infant customer service I demote to 1-star. This monitor is horrible and a waste of money. I'm very upset that I purchased this monitor and I advise anyone considering this model to take my comments seriously and not purchase it. Perhaps their more expensive model performs better but I'm not wasting any more money on Summer Infant.
