Product Description
Think of the people you talk to all the time, but don't see enough of. Kids. Grandkids. Close relatives and friends. Whoever and wherever those people are, they are the reason for Ojo. With Ojo, seeing everyone you love is just a phone call away. There have been other videophones before but this one displays fully synchronized images at a lifelike 30 frames per second in sharp color, accompanied by superior sound.

Ojo works over a high-speed cable or DSL modem, and also uses the household's existing telephone number for both IP video calls and conventional voice calls using existing PSTN or VoIP service.

Ojo's stylish display unit houses a high-resolution 9:16 portrait-oriented 7? digital LCD screen and a state-of-the-art miniature camera for bright, clear images from both sides of the call. An Ojo call sounds as great as it looks. The audio signal is strong and clear, and Ojo has an Automatic Gain Control (AGC), full duplex echo-canceling speakerphone for great sound even when there's background noise. Captures and sends full motion video at 30 frames per second 7 inch Diagonal High-resolution 16 - 9 LCD color screen with 176x144 resolution State-of-the-art miniature camera Full-featured cordless phone handset for voice calls (up to 6 hoursd talk time per fully charged battery) Easily accessible video/audio privacy controls Latest video and audio codecs On-screen residential and business directories Price covers one Ojo Personal Videophone

5 out of 5 stars The Ojo Video Phone is AWESOME!   May 30, 2008
For anyone with family in different states or countries, this is a must have for the small money it costs to buy the phones and then just $9.95 per month service fee for UNLIMITED calling.

It puts webcams to shame as there is no setup everytime you want to make a call. No pre-arranging calls, jsut call and talk, it they're not home, leave a video message.

I am very disappointed having spent $600 for two of them about 6 months ago. It no longer works. I am looking at alternatives, like D-Link's product. It was not the greatest product, but we loved the experience.

The Company is currently in a dispute with its largest customer over the payment of significant monies which the Company believes are owed to it. The customer's refusal to pay such monies has contributed to a shortfall in the operating cash available to the Company to continue operations. Accordingly, on January 30, 2008, the Company shut down its operations as a first step to winding down its business, which will occur if the Company is not able to secure payment of the monies believed to be owed and/or new financing. The Company continues to explore potential financing opportunities and is also pursuing legal recourse against the customer. The Company would intend to resume operations if it can obtain financing or payment of the monies believed to be owed in a timely manner. Without such financing or the payment of monies believed to be owed, however, the Company will continue its plan to wind down the business.

Worldgate went out of business, so if you buy the phone, you can't use it without the monthly service.

I purchased Ojo's for my children, parents, and self for an early Christmas present and installed them in November. Overall, we have been extremely happy with the phones. Installation ranged from very easy to fairly easy on the four installations. My parents are older and I bought the Ojo in part because it appeared to be the easiest to use, and that has proven to be the case. The pictures are good, features are good, and the synchronization between voice and picture is excellent. Ojo personnel are also very helpful in installation and answering questions. The phones are a little expensive up front, but the quality and ease of use are worth the price. I recommend them highly.
