Summer Infant Monitor - Baby Monitors


Summer Infant Monitor
The Summer Infant Monitor is a new, innovative baby monitor out there on the market today. Featuring a smart-phone esque touch screen controller, the baby monitors controls work just like a smartphone. With just the swipe of a finger, you can zoom, pan, scan, or adjust the brightness. The parent's unit is is both portable and rechargeable. Simply clip the unit to your belt and you have easy access to your baby monitor on the go. The battery can last up to a full eight hours when fully charged.

The summer infant monitor features a touch screen, 2.75 inch LCD, with a full color video transmission. The Summer Infant baby monitors with camera provides a crystal clear, full HD view. There is also an infrared, night vision option. No more waking the baby to check on him. With the push of a button, the parent's unit allows for 2 way communication. The microphone can be set so it works at the sound of your voice, with adjustable sensitivity. Want to hear the mice in your babies' room? You can do that. If you prefer, you can just have it set to work when the baby cries with continuous sound monitoring.

The summer infant monitor does not have an under-the-mattress sensor pad like it's closest competitor, the Angelcare AC1100.  In fact neither do the other big names such as Graco baby monitors nor the Fisher Price baby monitors offer this unique movement sensor pad to help monitor your baby's breathing.

These sensor pads by Angelcare will sense all movements, including the slightest breathing movements. The parent's unit will receive a warning if no movement is detected for 20 second. The level of sensitivity is also adjustable as needed. The sensor pad also has a temperature gauge which lets you know what the temperature of the baby's room. An alarm will sound if the temperature goes too high or too low. There is an optional "tic" feature that lets you know that the alarm is working. There is also a temporary hold feature on the unit, if you need to feed or take care of your baby. These movement sensor pads help place the Angelcare Monitors at the top with Summer Infant as being the best baby monitors.

The Angelcare AC1100 transmission runs on the 2.4 GHZ frequency, allowing for minimal interference. There are over sixty channels, and the unit automatically channel hops for the ultimate frequency. This provides great optimal privacy and safe communication between the parent unit and baby monitor. The sound transmission is crystal clear.

Both of these video baby monitors are ranked well within many of the top baby monitors reviews and are considered to be the two top rated baby monitors on the market today.

The summer infant monitor is FCC compliant, given that it is operated so that it does not cause harmful interference and has to accept any interference received. It must also be stored at least 20 centimeters away from the device's antenna and any person. It also cannot be co-located or operated in conjunction with another antenna or transmitter.

The summer infant monitor also has a night light option. You can use it to easily look in on your child, but it's soft enough so that the baby will not wake. The touch screen controller very easily allows for adjustments to pitch, zoom, panning, and a wide variety of options. The range of the unit is a good 200 meters (or 650 feet), so you don't have to worry about constantly dropping the signal. There is a signal gauge on the parent unit, with a small alarm that alerts you if you leave the range.

The summer infant monitor includes many innovative features that allow parents to easily and securely monitor their children. The summer infant monitor is a great addition to any baby monitoring system.
