DDM HGG -- Summer Infant Sleek&Secure Video Monitor Review & Giveaway

Being a brand new mom again it's brought back all those old fears I used to feel when Makenna was a baby.
Fears of if they are sleeping ok, is she crying and I can't hear her, and of course there's always the fear of SIDS.
I never have to worry anymore thanks to Summer Infant and their new Sleek&Secure Video Monitor

The future of baby monitors has arrived.

When I was pregnant, I definitely wanted to get a new monitor but I couldn't justify spending all that money when the monitor I had when Makenna was a baby still worked. I still wasn't happy though, of course I wanted to SEE Kendall and the old monitor just picked up noises... and not very clearly I may add.

Summer Infant Sleek&Secure Monitor definitely changes everything you thought you knew about baby monitors.

This cute monitor has been designed to look and feel like a cell phone. It's so funny because when John came home and saw the monitor charging on the counter he even asked me, "You bought a new cell phone!!!" lol.

This video baby monitor is equipped with a 2.5" color LCD screen also automatically changes to black & white for night vision. You can also adjust the brightness on the screen depending on your preferences. It also has 100% digital technology so you get a secure and private connection at all times even up to 350' away!

The base has a swivel base and tilt camera so you can adjust it so you can have eyes on baby at all times while the screen has a flip stand and a belt loop on it.

Although I want to see Kendall at all times I never really wanted a video monitor because I was sure the picture would be so fuzzy and I would think, "what's the point!". Well not with this monitor! The color LCD monitor provides a perfectly clear picture and it also features a talk back button so I can even simply push a button and try to calm Kendall down before I get to the room when she's crying!

But of course I have to tell you about my favorite feature that makes me feel sorta like the FBI. It's not enough that this monitor provides everything I've already told you but also you can monitor up to 4 rooms at a time! You can purchase 3 additional cameras (sold individually) and each picture can show up on the same handheld monitor. You have the option to see all 4 screens at once or you can set it to scan all the rooms every 8 seconds! This feature has come in very handy when I see Makenna sleeping playing with her animals at bed time. I simply press the talk button and besides freaking her out because she forgets I can see her, she then goes to sleep.

Some other great features (again, as if there are not enough!) is you can turn off the video screen by a push of a button or it has a auto time out so it doesn't use the 10 hour rechargeable battery.

I like the room to be completely dark when I'm sleeping. So if you're like me this will come in very handy when it's bed time.
