Video Monitors

Our play group is expanding! We have welcomed three new babies so far, one will arrive any day and three more to arrive after the first of the year.  With all of us having a toddler in one space of the house and a new little one in another (attempting) to sleep, we may need a second set of eyes. 

My mommy group friends have asked about video monitors. My husband and I thought it would be fine with our original sound only monitor from Graco. We quickly found out that we were driving our selves crazy figuring out the needs of our two little ones. 

After many requests, I have come up with a conclusion on a great monitor. 

We use the Summer Infant Sleek and Secure. We have found that it works well in our home and will travel to the neighbors' yards with us (only next door). We have one camera in our son's room and the other pointed on our daughter's crib. 

  
Things we love about it:
- Can have the sound on very high!
- Can have the picture on without the sound (Motorola does not offer this)
- Can scan between cameras with the sound rotating between rooms as well
- Can see up to four cameras on one screen (we choose the room to have the sound on)
- No extra light put out that competes with the night light or adding extra unwanted light 
We travel a TON! It is extremely easy to pack, travels well, and sets up EXTREMELY easy! We don't have to reset it. Just plug it in and let it go! 

 Non Deal Breakers :
- Size of the screen 
- Wireless range

Things we wish we could upgrade:
- There's no vibrate mode like on the Gracos
- The farther the camera from the bed, the grainer the subject/picture


Overall, we really do like this camera alot! We have used it for 8 months now and have had not problem with recharging the battery or power.   I would recommend this product to friends and family.
