Video baby monitors
After Cole’s many attempts to grab the video camera on the window sill, I ended up mounting it on the wall so now I get a bird’s eye view of him in his crib. I don’t know how I ever lived without my video baby monitor. I never have to wonder about what he’s doing, if he’s really awake or if he’s still in his crib. I just look at the screen. Takes all the guesswork out! Although one time I looked and he was no where to be seen. I ran into his room to make sure someone didn’t steal him out of his crib, only to find that he had fallen asleep SITTING UP, pressed against the bumper pad, just out of view. Freaky.
The monitor is so crystal clear—both in sound and in picture quality. The video above doesn’t do it justice because the image is too “hot,” so his face is white, but in person it’s really clear. The reception is great, no static on the audio. Brand is Summer. This is our second video monitor--the first one was too staticky. Also, our neighbor picked up our video image on their TV!! I think you might have to try a couple to find the one that works best in your particular house (with the frequency of your phones, tv, neighbors' baby monitors, etc.).
