 pretty good, staticy, ui could use work September 13, 2008
Douglas Klink (kirkland, wa)
The ability to see our son in his crib is great, we can tell if he dropped binky or has worked his way out of his swaddle. Those benfits are offset by a lot of static and poor user controls. The display unit is about 50 feet from the camera and we still get interference on both channels. I tweaked the channel setting on my wireless router (802.11a/g) and cordless phone (5.8Ghz) but that did not help. On the camera unit, the switches are on the bottom, which is a challenge to operate with one hand holding the baby. Also there are seperate selections for night vision and day time, more than once we thought we had night vision turned on but did not and had to go to the baby's room to turn it on risking waking him up. On the display unit the switch is sometimes tough to turn off.
 best tool September 4, 2008

This product is working great for me. I can rest assure that my baby is safe asleep with using this monitor. I don't have to worry about checking on her frequently. The video image is great on the monitor. Only sometime I have bad reception but most of the time is good.
 Piece of Junk September 3, 2008
Sunshine (Palm Springs, CA)
I received this monitor as a shower gift. I feel sorry for the person who spent this much money on this piece of junk. I've only used it for 2 months and it's already not working correctly. At night time it's hard to see inside the room- even with the night vision on. And if you turn the night vision on- then you can't see anything in the morning when there's daylight in the bedroom. I put batteries in it once to use outside and it didn't work at all- couldn't see a thing. I woke up this morning to a blank screen that turned poltergeist on me. I would NOT recommend this to anyone- waste of money!
 Awful product! August 21, 2008
J. L. Fowler (Marietta, GA)
This video monitor is just terrible. I set it up in my baby's room and at first I was quite impressed, because I've only used the normal (non-video) monitors before, so it was so cool that I could see the room as I walked out of it. Well as I walked further away (only a few feet) I noticed it getting fuzzy and loud static building up. By the time I got downstairs, all I could see and hear was static. In our house, all of the bedrooms are upstairs and everything else is downstairs, so I'd normally be watching him from downstairs except when I'm in bed, but even from my room, which is just down the hall from his, there was considerable static. I pulled out my old basic cheap monitor and could hear perfectly. Seeing your baby when you're not in the room is a definite convenience, but not being able to hear anythign except super loud static is unacceptable. Even the $15 monitors provide that. THEN, as I took my daughter to the bus stop one day, I noticed one of the other mom's holding a video monitor similar to the Mobicam. I asked if it actually worked all the way down there, because she was about 2 houses away from her house, and it did! She showed me the clear picture and you could hear the music in his bedroom! She had the Summer Infant one, so I am returning this for a Summer Infant one asap!! Oh, and with the Mobicam, if the room is dark, you can't see a thing. And I dont' know about you, but when I leave my baby in their room alone, it's usually dark. There are day/night ones out there...
Love the technology / dislike the product August 11, 2008
Ohio Dad
This is our second purchase of the Mobicam. The first one lasted approx. 18 months. Be careful !! the unit is not durable and will break eventually.
Overall, we love the technology and have found the Mobicam to be extremely useful and user friendly.
LIKES:
1. Decent color and night vision picture quality. (I can see the baby's breathing chest movements).
2. Decent sound quality .. good enough to hear crying and calls for mommy.
3. Easily portable.
4. Provides just enough comfort and security that the baby is doing well.
DISLIKES:
1. You WILL HEAR tons of static. If you live in a basic suburban home, static should be tolerable ... if you live in an urban area or have a close proximity to an older 900mhz phone -- the static will drive you nuts.
2. Battery life is horrible .. always plan on plugging it in.
3. The units are NOT durable .. don't drop them, avoid being hard on the buttons and the extension cords.
For the price ... I'd buy the Mobicam again -- although I'm looking forward to improvements in the technology and quality before we have our next child.
