Summer Baby Pixel Zoom HD Baby Monitor Review
Let’s just put it out there – if you are having a baby, a video monitor should be on your must-have list. No question about it! It doesn’t matter whether you live in a tiny house or a big, sprawling mansion, a video monitor will give you the peace of mind that you’ll need as a new parent when your baby is in her crib.
Summer (formerly “Summer Infant”) recently debuted a new video monitor that we are absolutely in love with. It checks all the boxes for the must-have features we look for in a video monitor PLUS it has one of the best, clearest pictures we’ve ever seen on a baby monitor. To be honest, it has so many great features that we can’t even tell you which feature is our favorite.
Let’s start with the parent unit screen size. Yes, size matters when it comes to video monitor screens and the Summer Baby Pixel Zoom HD boasts a large 5.0″ HD screen. You are going to get a crystal clear picture of your baby because this monitor has 12 times more pixels than standard monitors. And if you want an up close and personal view of the baby, just hit the zoom button for a 6 level zoom. That means that it can zoom in 6 times. You’ll pretty much be able to see if the baby is cutting a tooth with this zoom feature.
From the parent unit, you can remote steer the camera to get a view of pretty much anywhere in the room that you’d like. It moves side to side and up and down and has a very quiet movement as not to wake the baby. The parent unit also displays the nursery temperature, time, battery power and signal strength.
We absolutely love the two-way talk back feature that allows us to soothe or comfort baby back to sleep or let them know you are on the way! The lullabies, white noise, adjustable volume and video brightness and sound activated LED lights are also great features!
The Baby Pixel HD Zoom also features a SleepZone™ Virtual Boundary that alerts you if baby has moved out of the virtual boundary box.
Since many babies sleep in a darker room, the night vision on the camera is always important to us. Thankfully, the Baby Pixel HD Zoom has a clear night vision picture in black and white BUT the HD Moonlite Night Vision Boost is even better. With the press of a button, it subtly illuminates your camera’s viewing area for a clearer, temporary, IN-COLOR view of the baby in the dark. It’s really something special!
The last feature we’d like to mention is the voice activated video on/off technology (VOX) that auto-wakes the screen display when there is sound in the nursery and automatically returns to power-save mode after 30 seconds with no activity. NOTE: This feature can be turned off.

We’re having another baby and winning this would baby monitor would be amazing! Thank you so much for the opportunity!
I desperately need video on my little guy. I just have sound and he’s such a daredevil and soon he’ll be entering that try to scale the crib stage. This would be SO wonderful to win. Such amazing quality and so many great features. Thanks for the chance!!
Wow this looks amazing!!
What an awesome giveaway!! I am due I. February and would love to receive such an amazing monitor!!
I would love to win this camera! I don’t have a camera now because I haven’t found one that I like and that had all of these features with the option for another camera! With more than one of my kids needing a camera for me to have eyes on, this would be so great to win! Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love this for my two kids…one runs around the room and the other tries to get out of her crib!! Our current monitor is grainy and hard to see. This summer infant monitor would be a huge, helpful upgrade!!
I would love to win so that I can keep a better eye on my little ones. Thank you!
I have loved all your YouTube and Facebook postings. I now follow you on Instagram. Best of luck to everyone.
I also watched the Bad guy parody. Cute small fry theme!
I know someone who would love it. Thanks.
I REALLY NEED one of these for my foster kid room. Our girls can climb out of their cribs (they aren’t mentally ready for a toddler bed yet).
This would be an awesome gift for my daughter. A new (older) home and a four year old keep her eyes and ears constantly on the watch. With a new baby, a amazing pixel video camera would be such a relief. Keeping an eye on the children is uppermost in safety
The opportunities that y’all provide are simply wonderful. Thank you for all that y’all do.
Soo cool!!! I just got my 5 year old out of my room by doing a replica of the beach house!!
This is amazing! With a new baby at home I dont have to fear he is crying in his bed while the rest of the house is noisy and I cant hear him.
This would be awesome for overnight visits or naps at Mimi & Papa’s house!
Would love to win! This camera looks awesome! Really love the night vision boost
I’m due with baby #2 in February, #1 will be 7 so we are pretty much staying over from scratch. This would be so seriously amazing to win! Thanks for the chance!
Amazing giveaway! I love everything about. Especially the pixel quality and the two way talk back! Great product!
