Customer Review: Do Not Buy
Summary: 1 Stars
I have never in my life posted a review for something. However this monitor is so bad I couldn't resist. I am now on my 3rd one, just received a replacement yesterday and as of today the screen is completely black and a 4th is on its way.
Why this monitor is so expensive I am still trying to figure out. The original one I received was brand new and for the first couple months it was average. The picture was okay but the static was unbearable. I would end up turning the volume off at night. Which pretty much defeats the whole purpose of having a monitor. Finally the static was so bad I could no longer even see the picture. The monitor was no longer under warranty so I had to pay a discounted amount to receive a refurbished one. That one worked for about a month until the picture turned to gray fuzz. Then for free they sent me another one(took about 2 weeks to arrive). Used it for a whole day, screen is now completely dead! 4th one is in the mail had them overnight it to me. Why I am still even having another sent I don't know. I guess I just figure since they won't give me a refund I'll just continue to make them give me replacements.
GRRRRRR I hate this monitor DO NOT BUY!
Customer Review: Audio nothing but static!
Summary: 1 Stars
This product did not work for us. The audio was nothing but loud static no matter where we put it in the house and we tried it in 4 different rooms. We followed the directions and tried both channels with no luck. We even unplugged our phone thinking it was causing the problem, but that didn't help either. Also, the cover for the battery compartment on the receiver kept falling off constantly. My husband and I were expecting so much more out of this video monitor for what we paid. We bought a Summer video monitor and it works perfectly! Hardly any static at all. Customer Review: This is a must!
Summary: 4 Stars
I found the MobiCam to be a great item, and a must if you have a baby or like us Hospicing a parent! It gave us a peace of mind, and we were able to get some sleep! Yes, I did go through batteries, when I used the batteries, but I learned to use them only when I had to, example for outside. At times I did get static, but I leaned what took the static out of the unit, as turning it as you would a radio, or put a glass of water next to it, believe it or not it helped.Customer Review: One of the best on the market!
Summary: 5 Stars
I did a lot of research before I finally gave in and purchased the MobiCam Ultra Wireless Monitoring System. Unfortunately, my first one did not work appropriately, however Amazon rushed me out a new one and took the old back, no questions asked. NOW, I must say - I AM VERY HAPPY with this product. I had a cheaper lights & sound monitoring system for my first child and really wish I had found this one much earlier! I would like to address the concerns you will read and what I found to resolve them. The static can be there, however I found that by moving my phone base to the other nightstand removed all static issues. My cheaper monitor ALWAYS had static no matter what I did, so by having to move my phone base, it was a simple fix. I even carry it outside with me and have almost 4 acres of land which seem to have no issues picking up where I go. The light can be bright in the middle of the night, however it is voice activated and only on for 30 seconds while you determine if you need to attend to your child or not. With sound only monitors, you have to "sneak" in to peek on your child, which usually disturbs them and with this video feature you can see what is happening vs. guessing & playing the waiting game to see if they are going back to sleep or really need you. The light from the video did not bother me as it then goes back to black until the next sound, which is set to the sensitivity you prefer. I found volume 3 to be the best for me as my child can roll over a lot hitting the edge of the crib so it doesn't set it off for that, but when my child starts talking or crying, it comes on instantly. It does like batteries, however if you keep it plugged in when batteries are not necessary, you'll find you aren't changing them as often as you think. As I mentioned, I did a lot of research and while I didn't pay the full $189+ like most sites sell it for, it was worth every penny I did spend & I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it. Good luck in your decision. 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!
