Best video monitor???

JKTTC1 · June 2013

After 19 moths out summer infant baby monitor died. When I called CS they said batteries have to be replaced on the monitors every 12 months. Well after troubleshooting we found out it wasn't the battery it's the monitor itself and its not replaceable under the one year warranty. Plus u have to have the receipt. So we are headed to buy another monitor. Any recommendations?

edit: We want a video monitor.

I've always seen the Motorola being recommended on this board. It's what we plan on getting. GL

I've been through 3 Motorola cameras with problems and it's such a hassle. There's a Samsung one that gets good reviews.

We have the more expensive Motorola video camera (had it for five months) and have had no issues so far. We love it, the sound is perfect, the video is so crisp I can see DS breathe. I love that you can move the lens, this more recently as DS moves all around his crib throughout the night. Keeps us from getting out of bed.

I feel like I have just had the worst luck ever! I had the most expensive Motorola one, then the night vision stopped working so they sent me a new one. Then I added a second camera. Now both the replacement first camera and the second camera barely have any night vision that works. During the day it's fine but at night I can't even see the kids. I think I have lemons! This is a common complaint on the Amazon reviews however it definitely isn't a widespread problem since many people use it with no issues. It's just some cameras that don't work right.

LOVE the Motorola video monitor. I had the Summer one before which broke multiple times.

Do you still like your original monitor? I absolutely love our Summer Touch monitor and DD just turned 2. Our battery is starting to not hold a charge as long as before so I think ill look into a new battery. But if you still like your monitor look on ebay for a replacement monitor that why you dont have to buy a whole new set. #2 is on the way so i've been looking for an extra camera to add to our set.

Do any of these that any of you have recommended have the DECT technology?

I'm so hesitant to get any video monitor that doesn't have this because of safety/security features. My husband bought the DropCam which has bank-level encryption security but I'm not sold on having to use my cell phone as the camera, so I'm still on the hunt. So far it seems like the Phillips Avent one is one of the only ones out there that has this feature.

Just curious what all of your thoughts are
