Baby Products Reviews of MOBI MobiCam Ultra 900 MHz Monitoring System with SW Power
Customer Review: Not for extended use
Summary: 2 Stars
This was the second video monitor we bought, after the first one (SVAT) had some problems and wouldn't work. This was great for a while, but over time (about 5 months) it began to give out. At first, we used it for our daughter's overnight sleeping and for her naps while we were waiting for the replacement for the original monitor (SVAT - which I wouldn't recommend, either). Anyway, we used it for many hours a day, every day for about 5 months. After that, we retired it for use on vacations, where we needed something a little more mobile than our wall mounted SVAT monster. We've had it for about 1.5 years, but hardly ever use it anymore. When we do, the picture is only good for about 20 minutes and the sound is terrible. When we first turn it on, it's perfect, but slowly goes down hill in picture and sound quality with every passing minute, making it useless. I would not recommend this model, unless you're going to be using it on a limited basis, and not as your primary monitor as we did.Customer Review: I love this!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really do love this product. It works as great as I hoped it would. The nightvision is amazing. The screen on the monitor is small, but the picture is usually very clear. One of my favorite features is the ability to put it on a standby mode. Then when the baby makes noise the picture and sound come on automatically. This way I don't have to have it on staring me in the face all night while I try to sleep. But it comes on when I need it to. We have a 5.8 Ghz phone and a 2.4 Ghz wireless internet system. That is why I chose this monitor and it works great with no interference. We can have the baby in her room upstairs and take the monitor all over the house and it works great. It does run out the batteries pretty fast if you don't have it plugged in, but it's not much of a problem for us. We just take the cord and plug it in wherever we need it. I am very pleased. I was a bit worried after reading some of the reviews for baby monitors, but I am very happy that we bought this one!Customer Review: Look elsewhere, there are better

I bought this thinking that I'd be able to use it in my average size house to transmit only 30 feet or so. I was wrong.
I run a 5.ghz phones and 2.4ghz wireless network. With both of those running the picture on this unit was weak and prone to flickering. The worst thing was that you couldn't turn up the volume at all. Any volume resulted in clicking and humming... and not by me!
I tried switching things on and off in the house when I realized that if this wasn't going to work with the things I had running, then forget it, I'll find a more stable system.
I bought one of the Summer handhelds. Works much better. Has great sound, no flicker, and a lot better picture.
My advice, buy them all, and return what doesn't work in your house. If you don't have any other electronics maybe this unit would work... but if you don't have many electronics chances are you're not the target market for a video monitor anyhow... so none of this applies.
Customer Review: Exceptional viewing - would highly recommend.
Summary: 4 Stars
My husband (suffering from cancer) needed me with him most of the time so it was mandatory that I had a monitor that I could not only hear him, but be able to see him as well. This was a perfect choice for me. It relieved some of the stress from running back and forth checking on him, before I could even return from completing a small task for him. You have the adapters to plug in for the monitor and camera, plus channels to choose from, so it can connect in any room. Batteries can be used - AA's 3 for monitor and 4 for camera, but they will run down quickly and hooking into an outlet usually works out. This is a color monitor, but it allows you to see at night time (infrared LEDs) with black and white image. Looking for this, Amazon's price was the best. I highly recommend this monitor and Amazon's price and delivery worked out very well for me.Customer Review: Not a good product
Summary: 1 Stars
This product was given to us as a gift for our first child (1.5 years ago) and we've hardly used it. It uses up batteries like crazy and reception is terrible (audio and video). We're having our second child and we've moved into a new house, so I thought I'd give it another try as a way to hear my son in his new bedroom at night--that way we could leave it plugged in and avoid the battery problem. Still, the audio and video reception are terrible. Video isn't so critical at night, but the audio is just plagued with static.There's no way I would get any sleep with this thing within earshot (which defeats the purpose). We have a lot of electronics and wireless things on our home, which may be part of the problem. If you get it, don't tear up the packaging because you may need to send it back.
