The new and improved Summer Infant Best View Handheld Monitor is an update of the previously popular analog model. Not only does it looks sleeker and smarter, but offers up-to-date digital technology providing a more secure and interference free transmission.

The Summer Infant Best view has some really great features that parents really appreciate. First and mostly importantly it has a 2.5" LCD color screen on which to view your baby in color during the day and then as it gets dark it automatically gives you black and white nighttime vision.

Having good night vision is important for most parents as they can keep an eye on their little one during the night. Quite a few customers mentioned that they felt the nighttime vision wasn't as clear and crisp as the previous model, saying that the image was grainy and fuzzy. However, other customers were very pleased with the quality.

Unfortunately digital transmissions can suffer from interference especially if close to other wireless devices that run on the same frequency such as cordless phones, WiFi computers, microwave ovens etc. Often, moving them away from these devices will improve the reception.

Given that the screen is only 2.5", some customers commented that if you are expecting HD quality on such a small screen then you will be disappointed.

As mentioned, many customers were very pleased with the night vision as they were with the pan, tilt and zoom camera capabilities that are remotely activated by the monitor. This allows you to get the best view of your baby at all times. Hence the name of this video baby monitor.

The Summer Infant Best view is designed to be handheld and fits nicely into your hand so you can carry it around. It's also the just the right size to fit into your pocket. There's also a built-in kick stand so you can place it on a level surface when you are perhaps working in the kitchen or watching TV and has a belt clip so you can attach it to your belt or waistband, allowing you to be hands-free if out in the garden.

Along with features such as automatic nighttime vision, LED sound lights, quick view, volume control and rechargeable batteries, the monitor can expand with your family, supporting up to four cameras. However, it doesn't have two-way talk back that features on many other video baby monitors, but you can clearly see and hear your baby which is the most important thing.

Most customers were more than satisfied with the quality of the picture and audio. There were, however, some complaints that the nighttime vision wasn't as clear as the previous analog model. Overall, though, the Summer Infant Best View Handheld Color Video Monitor was felt to be a great baby monitor and good value for money.

The Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Video Monitor has a small 1.8" TFT color screen which offers crystal clear picture quality. This model is designed to be handheld, the shape of it fitting nicely into your hand. The unit is both compact and lightweight so you carry it around in your hand, or use the built-in foot rest to place it on a level surface. It also has an adjustable belt clip so you can attach it to your belt or waistband to be totally hands free.

The Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld monitor runs on 900MHz wireless technology which is said to avoid interference from other wireless devices such as cordless phones, microwaves and WiFi which tend to use 2.4Gz. However, some people did experience some static interference as well as being able to pick up neighbor's babies.

Unfortunately, 900MHz transmissions are open to interference, especially if you have devices that run on similar frequencies, or live in a highly populated area where other people may have video baby monitors. This is something to be aware of when looking for a monitor. If you want one that's truly secure then you need to look for a model that offers hop technology which is much more secure.

On the bright side, the monitor has a range of up to 350 feet with a clear line of sight and 100ft if obstructed by walls, large furniture etc. It also has night vision capability.

Night vision is an important consideration when choosing a video baby monitor, and this Summer Infant model has 9 in-built infrared LED's that allow the camera to view clear black and white images as the light gets low to dark within a distance of up to 6ft. This is great for parents to keep a check on their little one at night without having to go into their room or even get out of bed.

Other features include the option to add two additional cameras for multiple use. As your family or needs grow so can the monitor.

This Summer Infant video baby monitor offers good value for money if you're looking for something quite basic. It doesn't have as many features as other models such as two-way communication, but it does offer good picture quality which is important to parents. It's also very easy to use and fully portable, another great asset. The only negative is that people have experienced static interference and issues surrounding security.
