This is a fantastic new monitor just loaded with features. Handheld or…better yet…clipped to your belt or any other object, the Slim & Secure Handheld Color Video Monitor by Summer is the best baby monitor I’ve reviewed. The camera uses 2.4 GHz frequency to provide the great reception. This model didn’t interfere with our 2.4 GHz phones and provides a great picture even though the camera is about 50 feet away through 2 walls. Reception is also good downstairs when moving using the battery. A great safety feature which adds privacy for families living in apartments is that the video camera marries itself to the monitor and sends a coded signal which only that monitor can decode and view. An un-coded camera signal can be picked up by scanning monitors in nearby apartments and your neighbors could watch you and your kids through the camera. The monitor has a rechargeable battery which will save a million batteries because monitors draw a significant amount of power. The monitor is viewed in color if there is sufficient light or black and white when using the infrared lights during night viewing.
The Slim & Secure Handheld Color Video Monitor comes with 2 AC Adapters, one for the camera and one for the monitor which is a requirement if you plan on using overnight. The system comes with everything, AV cable for TV viewing, wall anchors for mounting and a cord clip. I also have to mention the light bar on the monitor which activates when a sound is made is useful if you have multiple monitors or a using in a noisy area. Summer Infant really thought of everything with this baby monitor, far and away the best handheld video monitor system I have used and earns a CBK *Top Pick* designation!
