The monitor goes through batteries like crazy. I bought this product, and then 3 weeks later found out that it was for sale 30 dollars cheaper than what I paid for it. Fully charged batteries will only last about 2 hours when not plugged into the ac adaptor. I ordered myself the summer infant handheld monitor. I ordered this one for my sister. My summer infant monitor has a battery like a cordless phone, it recharges while plugged into adaptor. If I had known that the batteries did not recharge while plugged into the adaptor, I would not have purchased the product.
I only used the monitor 5 days. and monitor doesn't work everday [just some time].
They interfere with everything wireless. This product was perfect for us. The camera killed my wifi, and even changing channels on both didn't help. Having a color video with night-vision is awesome. Saves you trips up and down the stairs, and lets you see what the baby is doing without having to peek in their rooms.However, the reception on these is not great. I had to move my wifi around. Everything from wifi, cordless phones, cellphones and especially bluetooth create massively annoying static.I hope to find a better product by my next child, because when they work properly they are very convenient.I will admit that I am a gadget freak and probably didn't have room for one more 2.4GHz wifi device in my house.
I can hear my son through my bedroom walls before I can hear it on the monitor. The equipment worked okay for a few weeks. The mobicam system was purchased for me as a gift at my baby shower. My set came with three cameras and two receivers. After that, I can barely see my son with the monitor sitting only five feet away from him. The static and interference are absolutely horrible. One camera does not even work anymore. Do not buy this item.
The only problem area is the kitchen so I just leave it in the family room. I love this system. It does make a lot of noise when the microwave is on so I just turn the volume down while using the microwave. We had another brand summer infant and I always had horrible reception. I get perfect crystal clear reception throughout most of the house. I have had the camera for over a year now and it is still working perfect. In fact I just bought another "eye" for in my sons room and I am getting rid of the other monitor altogether.
