HATE this monitor now (used to be love/hate),
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: MobiCam Audio Video Baby Monitoring System (Baby Product)
11/27/09 Update: I have posted my original monitor review below. Before, my only complaint was that it was "staticky" and I had to move the receiver around to positions where it wouldn't interfere with other devices. After about six months of use however, it made a loud permanent buzzing sound whenever I turned the volume on regardless of where it was placed. It was so annoying it was unusable. The only way it was tolerable if I turned on the video portion only but kept the sound off which didn't work for me since I'm not always looking at the monitor, especially at night when I'm sleeping!
I called Mobicam to see if I could get a replacement but the length of their policy is something pathetic like a month. I ended up buying Summer Infant Deluxe Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor with 2.5" Screen - Blue (Infant Deluxe Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor with 2.5" Screen) as a replacement which I'm MUCH happier with even though it as it's own drawbacks. I will also write a review for that. 5/9/09: Love/hate relationship with this monitor (Original Review) We had our heart set on a video monitor (not just an audio one) and it was between this and Summer. We decided on this one because of the Internet option so we could see our little guy from work. When the monitor works, it works FANTASTICALLY. We can see our baby both during the day and at night due to the infrared. I like being able to see his eyes -- if they are closed, I leave him be even if he's whimpering/crying because it means he'll be able to go back to sleep on his own. If they are open, I go to to see what's bothering him. That was the love part. The hate part is that there is static galore. The monitor flickers and buzzes even if you place anything near it -- it doesn't even have to be anything electrical in nature, the screen fizzes out even if you put your hand by the monitor. If you have a wireless phone, it will crackle louder than the TV in Poltergeist. It is super annoying and I spent a lot of time finding the perfect spot to place the monitor where it wouldn't be affected by anything and where I could still see it. We have our unit on continuous video monitoring so we always plug it into an A/C outlet, otherwise, we would go through way too many batteries. I wish we could purchase another video monitor so we can leave one in our room and put one downstairs. As of now, we haven't really used the Internet option. If that feature isn't important to you, I would try the Summer unit instead since that's the one our friends recommend and it seems to have pretty good reviews on Amazon.

Do NOT buy this monitor! Consider yourself warned.,

This review is from: MobiCam Audio Video Baby Monitoring System (Baby Product)
My wife bought this monitor so that we could keep an eye on our sleeping baby when we're not in the room.
It seemed at first like a decent product, but has today revealed itself to be a terrible one. PROS: Night vision mode automatically comes on, allowing video monitoring of your baby at night. CONS: Poor battery life if using batteries. Terrible interference problems, and not just with computers or lamps, but with inanimate objects or nothing at all - maybe ghosts?? Camera has a TINY range of motion, limiting the places you can put it and still see the baby. Cheaply made and too lightweight - if you don't have batteries in the camera, the mere weight of the the cord is enough to pull it out of alignment. UNFORGIVABLE CON: It broke; it now emits a constant 60-cycle hum at any volume except the lowest possible, which makes it useless for monitoring your baby's sounds. Several reviews on here indicate that this is a permanent problem. This product is abysmal, and no one should buy it. The people who have not yet experienced problems, will eventually, I am convinced. F-----, DO NOT BUY.

Good, BUT...,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: MobiCam Audio Video Baby Monitoring System (Baby Product)
So, I recieved this monitor as a gift at my baby shower. I recieved a total of 4 baby monitors, but since this was the only video one, I kept it and returned the others. I had no idea how comforting it would be to have a video monitor! It's great to be able to see him when he makes noise, and to see if he's just fussing or needs me or whatever. The night vision works great, but the colors are muted with the daytime view. Not a big deal, as far as I'm concerned because you can still see baby well. Does have occasional issues with static, but sometimes you just have to move around the monitor or camera and the problem can be solved. (Surprised that we've only had minimal issues with interference given all of the electronics/cordless devices in our home).
Here comes the BUT... part: So, we've been using the monitor for six months now, and this morning it stopped working. We've had occasional problems where you would switch it on, and there would be no power to the monitor. Sometimes it took a couple of times and it would come on. (This is using the DC adapter, not batteries). I tried everything to get it to come on, switching outlets, putting batteries in, and nothing. So, I called Mobi directly (since it was a gift, I didn't know where it was from. I didn't have a reciept, or fill out a warranty card. So I took my chances and called them. What could they do? Say no?) I talked to a guy named Andy, super nice and understanding. I am to ship my monitor to him, and he'll bench test it. If it doesn't work, he'll send me a new one. Fair enough. So, I guess that's why I'm giving it four stars, instead of three. Customer service on Mobi's part seems well worth it. I guess we'll see what happens in a few days when I get it back!
