 Great Device - Highly Recommended October 10, 2006
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I almost didn't buy this camera based on all the negative reviews up here on Amazon, but I decided to give it shot and as it turned out I am extremely happy with this camera and would highly recommend it to any new parents.
No it will not give you an image that is as good as your camcorder. Yes there may be some static and interference in the picture. Yes it may interfere with your wireless network (just turn off the camera whenever you go online, or if you are feeling motivated you can pretty easily tweak your wireless network so they don't conflict).
But what you *do* get is a self-contained wireless video camera that can shoot in total darkness ... plus a portable battery powered video monitor for only $120. And it actually works and can be set up in a few minutes. That is amazing to me.
Also there is an AV Out on the Mobi's video monitor so you can run the (included) cable directly from the Mobi monitor to your main TV set. My wife and I usually like to watch one tv show before we go to sleep, this is the one time of day we can relax and just spend time together, and it is extremely useful to be able to just hit a button on the remote and go from "Project Runway" to a real time image of our baby sleeping in the next room.
You can also set the Mobi monitor to only turn on when there is movement - we set the little Mobi monitor next to our TV so if we see it turn on we can swith the main tv over to see a what is happening on our big screen.
We have audio monitors but being able to actually SEE your baby is much, much more helpful. Oftentimes our daughter will fuss silently before actually waking up, so when we see her start to move around we know we need to get ready to deal with her.
Also you don't need to be "gadget dad" to make this work. We just plugged ours in, set the frequency (A, B or C), and it was good to go.
So, if you can afford the $120 I would highly recommend this device. It has made us much more effective parents.
 Worked for 4 months! September 17, 2006

This monitor worked pretty well for 4 months. We purchased this monitor and it worked well provided we were in the next room or on the same floor as the receiver. However, when we were downstairs (baby's room upstairs next to our's) the monitor was fuzzy, and had static and lines running thru. We were still able to have audio recpetion. After 4 months, the picture disappeared, audio was still operational. Not a good camera for long term.

Horrible system and because we purchased before baby was born and didn't use this system until she was in her own room (at 3 month mark) - we went over the 90 day warranty and basically tuff luck is what we got from customer service.
Thank you Mobicam!!! August 29, 2006
We used to have a simple audio monitor. We noticed that it was not enough when our 1 year old daughter was at the edge of the stairs after waking up in complete silence. This device has been one of the best things we have acquired. Now we can see and listen her whenever she's playing in the backyard or sleeping in our bed. I wish there were some kind of mechanism to move the camera remotely as we have the camera in one of the rooms and the screen at the kitchen. Night vision is also a terrific and very appreciated feature. It's really a must have device.
Terrible product, terrible customer service. August 25, 2006

We live in a small 2 bedroom home so you can imagine my shock when these supposedly high-tech monitors couldn't even project a clear image from one room to the next. The fine print on the box says they are intended for "up to 300 ft, clear line of sight" and that doors, walls, etc may cause interference. What's the point in that? Who could ever be the length of a football field away from their baby with no walls or doors between them?? And if you could, why would you need a monitor? Customer service was no help. They said my 2.4 gHz phones were interfering but I disconnected them and that was not the case. They also suggested I buy their newest monitor, on 900mHz, for even more money. Terrible picture and only the sound of static when used a mere 30 feet away around a corner. Waste of money - do not buy!
