Top Digital Baby Monitor: Review Of Safety 1st HD Digital Video Baby Monitor

The Safety 1st High-Def Color Digital Video Baby Monitor is technology at it's finest, always providing a 100% clear connection. Its state of the art wideband audio clarity ensures no interference or static, and guaranteed privacy while monitoring. DataLock technology means no loss of video picture or sound. Indoor/outdoor range is 650+ feet. It has a remote digital pan and zoom on the camera which parents love. The baby unit is battery operated or can run on AC power.

Video Picture Quality:

The Safety 1st High-Def Digital Baby Monitor has a high quality clear picture, color day vision and black and white night vision(infrared). That being said, it is NOT "high-def" by the standards of a high-definition TV, but it is high-definition compared to the picture of other monitors currently available. Keep in mind this is a baby monitor, not a Video Camera, it works fantastically for its intended purpose.

Audio and Reception:

The sound quality and reception are very good, excellent in fact. Generally there is no static or interference, however occasionally there is a soft "whoosh" (white noise) of interference that can be in the background when the receiver is on. The microphone is very sensitive and can pick up your child's smallest sounds, like breathing noises, which is very reasurring to hear or turn the volume down so that you hear crying but not breathing or little murmers.

The reception is excellent, it also has a huge range of 650 feet, you should be able to move anywhere in your house with no loss of quality.

It seems to vary quite alot whether the Safety 1st High-Def Color Digital Baby Monitor will interfere with your wireless network or not. The majority of people don't experience conflict with their wireless internet at all, however some people have experienced sporadic interference that has shut down their wireless internet service for a few minutes.

Pan/Tilt Feature:

From the handheld parent unit, you can zoom in on the picture 2X to 4X. While in a zoomed view, you can move right, left, up or down within the picture. The zoom feature does actually produce fairly clear images.

Time Out Feature:

The Safety 1st High Def Digital Video Baby Monitor has an on-screen menu that allows you to set your preferences for the Time Out feature, AUTO level, Night vision (infrared) and adding other cameras. 'Time Out' allows you to set how long you want the screen to be on before it automatically shuts off to save battery life - 5 seconds, 15 secs, 25 secs, or OFF which leaves it on until you turn it off. The sound continues after the screen turns off unless you have set the AUTO LEVEL, which turns the sound off and then turns it on if there is noise in the room. For night vision you can turn the infrared on, off, or to auto.

Safety 1st Logo:

There is a Safety 1st Logo screen that comes on every time you turn the screen on, but it's only there for 3 seconds then will automatically turn off or push the left button to manually turn it off.

Volume Control:

To change the volume you have to turn on the screen first which will beep, wait for the safety 1st logo to dissappear, then adjust the volume. Anytime you push any button on the handheld monitor it will beep softly, the beep feature cannot be turned down in volume or totally off.

Overall, regardless of a few minor features that some parents don't like, the Safety 1st High Def Digital Video Baby Monitor is still highly recommended by parents who use this digital video monitor. When it comes to technical specifications this monitor has all the important quality features parents need and is certainly amongst the top few digital baby video monitors available today.
