Summer Infant BabyTouch Color Video Monitor Reviews

Innovative Touch Screen

There are a number of distinctive features that this video monitoring system provides, that are just better than those offered by its competitors.

The Summer Infant BabyTouch Monitor is the first video monitoring system available that allows total touch screen control from the monitoring unit.

This is becoming a much appreciated feature that parents welcome as the use of Smart phones takes off and since exactly the same touch control functionality exists on your phone, there really is no learning curve or complicated ‘learning how to work this gadget’ phase.

The touch screen is a generous 3.5” with full color capability, so more than enough for the intended purpose and a small enough form factor not to take over your bedside table!

From the touch screen you can touch control the pan, scan and zoom of the video camera(s), adjust the picture brightness and access further monitor settings.

Multiple Room Monitoring

It is strange that such little ‘official’ sales information doesn’t really expand on the Summer Infant BabyTouch Color Video Monitor’s advanced practical capabilities of monitoring more than one room / more than one baby.

Like many of the Summer Infant baby video monitor systems out there, you have the added ability to add additional cameras to the system and monitor them via the single monitoring unit.

The Baby Touch video system is no different, except that you can actually add up to three cameras into the system.

However, with most other multi camera sets, the simple practical frustrations of multiple monitoring usually quickly rear its head.

Most parents find that only sound is available for dual monitoring, that the monitor can only choose one or the other camera at a time, that manual switching between cameras is needed or any other number of inconveniences that just lead to a poor overall muti monitoring setup.

The Summer Infant BabyTouch Monitor system with two or three cameras attached (and the adding of the additional cameras are just plain simple by the way), allow continuous scanning from one camera to the other without manually having to intervene.

When the system is searching for sound activity, all rooms are progressively covered.

If you wake in the night to check on your babies, you just switch on the monitoring unit and you can see and hear them all in continuous sequence.

Video Camera Capability

As touched on already, the monitoring screen allows you to scan and pan the camera at will.

For those that may have tried this feature with other video monitoring systems, you will be glad to know that the BabyTouch camera movement is silent and will not end up waking your sleeping baby.

There is a bidirectional microphone built into the video camera, which means that not only can you hear the sounds from your baby, but you can also talk to them from the monitoring unit (or anyone else that happens to be in the room!).

Digital Output

100% digital output means that both video and sound is of much higher quality and much crisper.

The range also extends up to 400 feet.

Video Quality

The camera has full color output during daylight hours and provides a very clear and crisp picture.

Some parents that moved from some smaller screens did comment that the clarity of the picture was not as good as their miniscule handheld screen they had before, but considering the picture is now stretched to 3.5”, the picture quality is really very good.

At night the video is output in black and white and provides a much better definition than you would be able to get from color.

It must be said that the night time black and white video picture is really second to none in the market today and many people actually prefer the clarity that it offers.

Sound Quality

Superb.

So many Summer Infant BabyTouch Digital Video Monitor reviews make a point of stressing how good the sound is.

You can literally hear ever twist and rustle that your baby makes.

Power

The monitoring screen unit has a recharging docking station, that lasts up to about 10 hours when fully charged and the video camera comes with a neat little battery base unit, which can be particularly handy if the power goes out.

Conclusion

If you are looking for a really fully featured baby video monitoring system that does a superb job of multi room monitoring with the added latest touch screen control and capability, then the Summer Infant BabyTouch Color Video Monitor system is by far your best choice.
