It wasn't super easy to set up (the software part) and I had to watch an instructional youtube video to figure out how to make it so that we could access the feed on our phones (both inside and outside of the house) but I haven't had any problems with it at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-879588 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 11:41:31 +0000 hellobeeboston 879588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the samsung &amp; love it.</p> <p>we had the motorola initially and after 3 months it just stopped working - it was weird... luckily Target took it right back &amp; we got the samsung. the motorola was also good, my only complaint would be that the sound lights were really bright. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-879540 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 11:27:00 +0000 Boogs 879540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: Customer service wasn't super helpful, but my monitor is working again at least.

Do you still love your SI video monitors? How is it working? It's cheaper than the Motorola right now and I'm thinking about getting it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-341951 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 20:14:13 +0000 Thencomeslife 341951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>does anyone have experiance with the graco true focus? it got pretty good reviews on amazon &amp; the price point is right in the middle of the market... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-118862 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 06:47:38 +0000 regberadaisy 118862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: oh nooo!!!<br /> I'll keep an eye out for you!! The same thing happened when the 1.5" Motorola was on woot the first time to me! It was on again a few weeks later and I pounced on it!!!<br /> If I see it again I'll let you know! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-118781 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 22:41:57 +0000 Mrs. Pen 118781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: so I totally was gonna do it, but waited til DH got home from work - and now they're SOLD OUT! ahhh! come on.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-118719 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:17:48 +0000 sulli301 118719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: do you use this monitor for both kiddos rooms with a camera in each? Does the summer infant one do that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-118711 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:03:14 +0000 enjollah 118711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have the smaller Motorola one. I really like it and the sound is pretty decent. I haven't been able to use this feature yet but it has a microphone button that you can press and talk to the baby without having to actually be in the room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-118061 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 12:01:42 +0000 regberadaisy 118061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is on Groupon for anyone looking!<br /> <a href="http://www.groupon.com/ch/occasions/deals/dc-kid-gg-digital-frame-wireless-camera" rel="nofollow">http://www.groupon.com/ch/occasions/deals/dc-kid-gg-digital-frame-wireless-camera</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-117198 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 15:44:49 +0000 lavender 117198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also got the summer infant babyTouch color monitor. Works great so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-117189 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 15:26:49 +0000 regberadaisy 117189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiffaknee:<br /> hmmm...I Probably should bust our out of the package and familiarize with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-117182 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 15:17:46 +0000 stiffaknee 117182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the Motorola with the 3.5 inch screen. While baby girl isn't here just yet, we've had fun with it so far (really like the pan and zoom feature, I think itll come in handy when baby becomes a little more mobile and starts moving around in her crib). The picture quality is really, really good (I have some friends who have Summer video monitors and the picture quality is mediocre) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-116947 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:33:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 116947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: oh my gosh that is so cool! I would actually really love that because in our townhouse, the thermostat is on the first level, so the second level is always much warmer, our bedroom, where LO sleeps, is the warmest in the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-116925 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:23:07 +0000 Mrs. Bee 116925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: yes i had two other brands too that both really sucked. i loved my summer infant monitors.... it was just that they died. the motorola has a bunch of nifty features. my favorite is the thermometer so i know just how warm/cool the room is as the heating in our apt is different from room to room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-116922 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:22:52 +0000 skibobrown 116922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The 2.8 inch Motorola that we have does not pan or zoom. So far that hasn't been an issue for us, although I see how those features could be very nice to have. Unfortunately the bigger version that Mrs. Bee has (3.5 inch?) was out of our price range. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-116915 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:20:55 +0000 chopsuey 116915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: Yep. I would definitely get something that makes you happy and that has all the features you want! It's an investment that's worth it! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-116908 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:18:38 +0000 Mrs. Pen 116908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: you guys tried out several didn't you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-116906 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:18:12 +0000 Mrs. Pen 116906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: yeah, you told me about yours, the summer infant b&amp;w, it's only $75. Love the pricetag! I think I want a color screen though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-116901 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:16:45 +0000 Mrs. Bee 116901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>love the motorola. the one with the bigger screen -- the smaller one doesn't pan/zoom.</p> <p>i've had 2 summer infant monitors and they died on me after a year or less of use. i've only had the motorola for a couple of months so i don't know if it'll last longer, but so far so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-116893 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:14:54 +0000 chopsuey 116893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a cheap monitor and it works wonderfully! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-116890 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:13:49 +0000 Mrs. Pen 116890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: yeah the main reason I want it is because he naps in our bed, he won't nap in his bed lol. I am wondering if it's because our bed smells like us?<br /> anyhow, since our mattress isn't as firm as a baby mattress, I am always checking just to be sure he doesn't turn his face into the sheet. I do remove all pillows and blankets though, so it's def safe, I just want to keep an eye on him without having to sneak in there every 20 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-116866 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:03:55 +0000 looch 116866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the smaller motorola, the handheld one. It worked fine, but we never really used it that much. We live in an apartment all on one floor, I suspect if we had a house with a yard we'd have used it more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-116845 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:56:05 +0000 Mrs. Pen 116845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skibobrown: I think that's the one Mrs. Bee has? She talked about it in her 0-3 mos gear guide. I saw that is was more expensive... but it might be worth paying more than buying one half the price that only lasts a few months.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-116841 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:54:57 +0000 banana 116841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@livsmama: Oh really? Cool! Will have to check that one out then! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-116839 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:53:59 +0000 LivsMama 116839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: The babytouch also has the option for extra cameras. I think it can handle up to 3, and it will alternate between them for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-116792 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:32:47 +0000 banana 116792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking about getting the Motorola one with an extra camera, one for each of our LO's rooms. Right now we use the Levana monitor which I really like but it doesnt pan and zoom (awesome!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-116782 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:26:15 +0000 Boogs 116782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: Yup you sure can. I must have jinxed myself talking about it last night because this morning the sound is somehow messed up. I'm going to call the company to see how they'll help and report back here after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-116497 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 09:23:50 +0000 skibobrown 116497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Motorola digital video monitor in the 2.8 inch size. It's been great so far! From what I remember it got pretty great reviews, although it was definitely on the expensive side. We've been keeping it plugged in for now, so haven't really tested the battery life yet... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-video-monitor-do-you-have#post-116495 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 09:22:50 +0000 LivsMama 116495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh and if it does die, you can put it on the charger and turn teh video on immediately while its charging </p>
