Baby Products Reviews of MOBI MobiCam Ultra 900 MHz Monitoring System with SW Power
Customer Review: pretty good, staticy, ui could use work
Summary: 3 Stars
The ability to see our son in his crib is great, we can tell if he dropped binky or has worked his way out of his swaddle. Those benfits are offset by a lot of static and poor user controls. The display unit is about 50 feet from the camera and we still get interference on both channels. I tweaked the channel setting on my wireless router (802.11a/g) and cordless phone (5.8Ghz) but that did not help. On the camera unit, the switches are on the bottom, which is a challenge to operate with one hand holding the baby. Also there are seperate selections for night vision and day time, more than once we thought we had night vision turned on but did not and had to go to the baby's room to turn it on risking waking him up. On the display unit the switch is sometimes tough to turn off.Customer Review: You need this for your first!!

I didn't get this until my first child was 1 1/2. Still great for seeing if she's really awake in the bed or just talking in her sleep. It's perfect for first time moms who are obsessive like I was and want to see that everything's okay. We are now using this with our second. A word of caution...we tried to use this with two cameras for both kids. It didn't work at all. Whether this was because the rooms were too close (it won't work if the two cameras are within 300 ft or something...) or we had static from a neighbor or wireless...I don't know. If your system only works with one camera on one channel, there's a good chance it won't work well with the second camera. Otherwise, great product. Love the night vision. Oh, and it does eat batteries like no tommorrow!Customer Review: Good product but poor Customer Service from Mobi Technologies

Pros - This product has provided great peace of mind when watching my baby, day or night. Night vision capability is very nice and we did have a problem with a grainy picture for a while; however, this issue has resolved itself (possibly due to repositioning of the camera closer to the crib) Cons - 1) Mobi Technologies Customer Service is non-existent (another reviewer mentions the same). 2) The receiver eats through batteries after one day. You'll need to keep it plugged in for the most part 3) Product description mentions expandability; however, I have yet to find where you can buy just the additional receiver. 4) Unable to buy replacement parts - the AC adapter with our unit is faulty. Constantly have to adjust/jiggle the cord in order maintain reception/picture.Customer Review: Great product for watching baby

I bought this Mobicam based on a recommendation from a friend. We really love being able to see and hear the baby vs. just listening on a monitor. The infrared feature is awesome - you can see in total darkness. I chose the 900mhz so that it wouldn't interfere with the 2.4 ghz wireless network nor the cordless phones in the house. This one has no interference from any of these devices. It does tend to pick up a little static from time to time, but is not really noticable. I guess I need to read the directions as well.. because I have yet to figure out how to turn the monitor off during the night (it's really bright), so right now we just kind of point it towards the wall. Overall, we love it and would purchase againCustomer Review: One star is to much

I echo the previous comment. We bought this unit so we would be able to see our daughter in her crib while she slept. In reality all we were able to see was "snow" on the camera and we had to keep the volume all the way down so we wouldn't hear the static from the unit. The only time we were able to get a clear picture was when the camera and the receiver were in the same room together. I wrote to their tech support and all they could tell me is that there was interference with something else in our house.
We have since spent a little extra money and purchased an AVTech Solutions monitor with much better results. The screen is bigger and the images are much clearer. It is well worth the extra money.
