second video monitor rec?

We have a Summer video monitor right now and it gets terrible interference.  We want a second video monitor for our 2nd.  Does anyone have a monitor that they love where the interference doesn't keep you awake all night?  Or one where you can buy two cameras and watch on one screen?

 Thanks!

  • We have a Summer Slim & Secure. Do you have a different model? The Slim & Secure is digital, which should (and has for us) elminate interference. We're getting a second Slim & Secure camera when LO#2 arrives. The monitor can scan up to four cameras.

  • We had the Summer Day & Night, and the interference drove us insane.  We just got the Summer Baby Touch monitor from BRU with an extra camera (they were having a sale where the extra cameras were half off).  It scans up to 4 rooms every 8 seconds.  We're using the new monitor on DS, and no interference.  We're very happy with it.  We also tested the scanning, and it works well.  Can scan with or without the video on.

  • we have the summer infant bestview handheld monitor.  It has no problems whatsoever except you have to buy new batteries through them.  You can add additional cameras...However, you can not monitor two rooms at the same time you have to flip back and forth. 

    So I got a monitor for my older daughter just for sound (sony babycall...and it is a analog monitor so it will not interfere with the summer infant bestview because that is a digital).  and if I hear her during the night I will flip to her room to see what is going on. 

    You can't have two of the same unless you have an analog that has different frequencies.

    Most of the monitors that I have seen that flip back and forth from room to room do not get good reviews.

  • We just got the Summer Slim & Secure and love it...it's so sleek and it's awesome that it can scan multiple rooms from one handset...I can't wait to use it!

  • I want to convince DH to get the Summer Slim & Secure!  
  • the Safety 1st Prism is the only one on the market (that I know of) that runs on a digital signal rather than an analog signal. That means that the signal is 100% dedicated to THAT line, no interference is possible. We have it and LOVE it, it's like the size of a cell phone, color and night vision, zooms in and out, and takes up to 4 cameras that you can view on one screen.
