MOBI MobiCam Ultra 900 MHz Monitoring System with SW Power (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

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.

What do you want in a monitor. You don't want the monitor to be hissing and making noise all night. You don't want it making noise when the baby is just breathing normally. You want to hear when your baby starts fussing or crying. And you don't want hissing and popping. This device couldn't transmit through a single wall over ten feet. It was crackling for no good reason, and when our baby was crying the sound quality was terrible.

I'm not fully impressed with this product. For the money spent I expected better quality. Nighttime picture quality is fuzzy, though daytime is very clear. Batteries don't last long. Back clip broke off easily and now I have to prop up the monitor with something else to view. At night it puts off quite a bit of light so I wouldn't recommend it if you need complete darkness to sleep.

This is our second purchase of the Mobicam. The first one lasted approx. 18 months. Be careful !! the unit is not durable and will break eventually.Overall, we love the technology and have found the Mobicam to be extremely useful and user friendly.LIKES:1. Decent color and night vision picture quality. (I can see the baby's breathing chest movements).2. Decent sound quality .. good enough to hear crying and calls for mommy.3. Easily portable.4. Provides just enough comfort and security that the baby is doing well.DISLIKES:1. You WILL HEAR tons of static. If you live in a basic suburban home, static should be tolerable ... if you live in an urban area or have a close proximity to an older 900mhz phone -- the static will drive you nuts.2. Battery life is horrible .. always plan on plugging it in.3. The units are NOT durable .. don't drop them, avoid being hard on the buttons and the extension cords.For the price ... I'd buy the Mobicam again -- although I'm looking forward to improvements in the technology and quality before we have our next child.

I bought this for my daughter to use for her new baby. She says it is awsome. Her first little one only had a audio monitor and she would go into the room to check him. With this she can check on the baby from any room she is in without disturbing the baby. She recommends to everyone. Worth saving your money for or put at the top of you registry list.

PROS: Mobi Cam was suggested to us by a good friend who had purchased one after trying many other types of monitors with no very good success. All other monitors seem to function on the same frequency as my wireless laptop and cordless phone whereas the Mobi Cam does not. With the other monitors we were restricted to placing the receiver on the floor in certain locations which changed daily otherwise you would not be able to hear my child all you would hear is static. Extremely irritating especially if you wanted to nap. The Mobi Cam works flawlessly without static and provides nice audio as well as great video. The voice activation feature works great to conserve batteries and also allows you to get some things done instead of staring at the monitor the whole time watching in amazement what a baby does when no one is around.Con: Base on both the receiver and the transceiver are not the most stable but I do like the fact that the belt clip functions as a stand you can lean the monitor back against. If they could only make the bottom of both flat and not rounded it would be perfect.Definitely recommend over all other monitors. We previously had a Fisher Price and disliked it greatly.

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 again

Picture was ok, but the sound sucked...all muffled! Not what I would consider quality made. Plus you can only move the camera lens up and down, so it's hard to position. Sent it back.
