4.0 out of 5 stars A must for new parent or caretaker of bedbound parent, January 17, 2010

This review is from: Wisecomm OC950 Mini Indoor Night Vision Color Security Camera with Audio and Adjustable Lens - Mini (Silver) (Electronics)
Works as advertised and easy to hook up. Good value; small sized camera not intrusive. Liked the ability to use my own monitor; bought a TV from thrift store for ten bucks (NOTE: if you use a tv as monitor, make sure it has the the white/yellow video cable input otherwise will not work). Had the unit up and working within 5 minutes--hardest thing was opening the box. Camera clear, sound good (sound so good--can hear bed bound, frail sleeping mother's breathing) works well at night with infrared camera. Running 24/7. Bought a well-known brand of digital baby-monitor with its own monitor, infrared camera and sound but returned it after it quit working within 7 days. Only reason I gave this product 4 stars versus 5 stars was the camera warms up; I find this unusual. Wonder how it would work if the camera were installed in a heat sensitive area other than my mother's bedside table. As a result, I turn the system off when mom and I are away from home. Wish I had gotten 100 feet of cable over the 60 feet of cable that came with the unit; some sellers were selling 100 feet with the camera. As such, I have enough cable to run the cable from a distant bedroom to the living room but not enough to run it though the ceiling. Have the cable running around baseboard and along hallway; works for now but in long term will get longer cable. Chose the hardwired camera/sound system up over digital and non-hardwired setup because I wanted privacy for my mother; did not want neighbors seeing the feed. Otherwise, we recommend the camera and its cable. Especially good for new parents. When comparing the cost of the video system with a regular voice only monitor, this system is light years better (cost, video and sound wise).
