Review 1 for Secure Coverage™ Digital Monitor
Overall Rating:
good distance LOW VOLUME
5/15/13,

We have a one year old and three year old and a three acre backyard! Needed something so we could go outside and play or walk the dog while the little one napped. Distance of range is great but even the highest volume is low. I'm sure if she's crying ridiculously it would be louder but she wakes up quietly/not like that so for now I have tied some yarn through it and sadly wear it around my neck to keep it closer to my ear so I can hear it! Was comparing this and the phillips advent but picked this bc the phillips turns off when there's been no noise for a while and is supposed to kick back on when noise is made in the room (to reduce power) and I was not ok with that at all. So definitely not perfect but if u need the range it works. (We use a summer infant video monitor inside the house/as our main monitor)

Review 2 for Secure Coverage™ Digital Monitor
Overall Rating:
Decent monitor -- with alarm quirks
3/13/13,

It's functional. It has pretty good range -- We clip the monitor to our belt with a carabiner and can go work in our yard. Sometimes we have to leave the monitor hanging in a tree where we can hear it, but generally, I've been very satisfied with the range. The problem we have with this monitor is once every month or two, for no reason at all in the middle of the night (or 5 minutes ago in this case) it just decides to go "BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP..." loudly and repeatedly until you simply turn it off and turn it back on again. Mostly just obnoxious for me, but a much bigger deal for my wife who has insomnia and has a hard time sleeping. While I've been generally pleased with this monitor, for this reason, I wouldn't buy it again.
(Why is this sudden alarming even programmed into the monitor?? It's apparently a part of the software -- I just don't see why. It's a different alarm than when the monitor looses connectivity and has the occasional "beep beep")

Best Monitor, Great Value!

I've had this monitor for 3 years now and it still works like it was brand new! It's been thrown, chewed on, lost, found, and alerted me to the waking of both of my children. My husband really liked the vibrate feature; it always wakes you up and you don't need to keep it turned loud. The sound quality is crystal clear. No background noise, no crackling. I couldn't ask for a better product. The price was good too!

Its description that you can clearly hear even the quietest whimper is an understatement. Worth its money.

We always had problems with monitors due to our childrens's rooms being on the second floor. Until, that is, we purchased this monitor. Great, crystal clear reception with no interfenece. You can even hear breathing at the volume setting.

Bad Monitor

I got this as a second unit to have a monitor in both my children’s rooms so I could hear them. It worked good for about a year and then it started making a cracking noise like it was shorting out then it would just shut off. I have kept it stationary by my bed plugged in and now it won't work at all it has a green light on the side that it has power but the front light is red and acts like there is no signal and will beep every minute or two. I have had another monitor in my other child’s room for 6 years it has worked great. I wish I could buy one of those again.

I bought this monitor because it had 2 hand sets. After a few mmonths 1 quit working. I have tried everything to fix it with no sucess. I am very disapointed that I spent that much money for the one I wanted and it doesn't work.

Have had this monitor for over a year and it works as well as expected. I like that I can bring it outside with me while the kids are sleeping and I don't have to plug it in. I had a similar problem as other reviewer (won't work -red light stays on even though plugged in). Called customer service and they helped me reset it. Works great again! Good monitor for the price.

Review 12 for Secure Coverage™ Digital Monitor
Overall Rating:
Poor Battery Life
4/21/12,
Fred A.
I have had this product for about a year. 6 months after buying it, the battery would not hold a charge so I kept in plugged in all the time. It worked OK until recently when a red light appeared on the volume strength bar. The receiver does not put out any sound. It acts like the battery pack failed.
In short, I would not recommend this product because of the failed battery / charger system incorporated into the design. If you only need one of these for a few months, then go ahead and buy it - if you want to use it as designed, buy something else. The worst part is when purchased, this was $80 at Babies R Us. now it is half that price. Even at half price - it is still not worth it.

Battery Does not charge

I have tried to charge the battery. Yes I did follow the directions to every last specific detail. It does not charge. I have read several other reviews on other sites that reflect the same thing. Unfortunately, I read them after I bought the monitor. Im not even going to bother with yet another battery. Its just time to buy a different monitor.

Radio interference - Android Smartphones

Silent Run
I have this product, but my wife and I recently discovered that with the latest Android smartphones, radio interference and feedback is severe. We have tried different ways to cut the interference to no avail.
It is recommended by us to test this product on a trial basis. If it does the same problem for you, please contact Harris Communications, Graco Baby, and the FCC who regulates radio frequencies.

Great Baby Monitor

I received this monitor as a baby shower gift and I absolutely love it. I love that I can set the reciever to vibrate when my daughter gets so loud. I also love how small it is, makes it great for our vacations (doesn't take up much space in the suit case). Great buy, especially for the price.
