Customer Reviews
I love this item
I have an older version of the SVAT monitor system for my twins, and we love it. It's black and white, but it does a great job. My husband and I bought the new Color monitor system for my sister and her husband for their new baby. WOW! What a difference. It has a great picture and so many new features. We wish we had one for ourselves. I highly recommend the system.

Good product but could be much much better
I was hesitant to purchase this after reading the last review. But my experience has been delightful.

I have no issues with power interference or power filter problem. Power supplies for camera and receiver are perfectly fine. I can connect the units to any outlets around my house and they work fine.

I originally had some WiFi interference with my wireless router because the receiver was right next to the router in my office when I was testing it. But, once I moved it away from the router, it worked perfectly fine with no interference.

**UPDATE** There is some interference but not drastic enough to distort the image. It depends where the receiver is around the house.

Positives:
* Color picture quality is excellent compared to the black and white Summer Infant monitor product (which had terrible interference problem).

* Also, I like the auto enable feature. Basically, the unit stays on standby (the receiver screen in shutoff until a sound from the camera activates it automatically). The input audio level can be adjusted on each individual camera.

* The unit supports up to three cameras

* The receiver color screen brightness is adjustable (so late at night, you can make it a bit darker)

* Lens has a nice wide-angle view. From 6 feet away, it can almost cover the length of a twin mattress

Negatives:
* The receiver uses four AAA batteries. I would have preferred a slightly thicker unit if it accommodated AA batteries. I have plenty of high capacity rechargeable AA batteries that I use for all our digital toys, but no AAAs. AA batteries are generally cheaper too.

* The power plug connects inside the battery compartment. The batteries have to be removed in order to use the power adapter. BAD DESIGN. This is incompetent design.

* Night vision is weak past 2 feet away. I can barely see anything past 4 feet.

* Camera lens does not zoom in or out. A manual zoom lens 2x or 3x would be a great feature to add in the future.
