MOBI MobiCam Ultra 900 MHz Monitoring System with SW Power

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 product is just like everyone says. Works great in theory if you can get past all the static and jumping image. I was about to quit using it when I had a thought to open up the receiver unit. I popped off the battery cover and took out the three screws that hold the unit together. I then popped the whole thing in half and noticed the reason for the poor reception. The antenna is tiny!!! It is the smallest piece of wire imaginable. I guess the whole 2 cents it would have cost to put a decent size antenna wire was just too much. So I stripped back a section of the existing wire and attached a piece of 16 gauge speaker wire to it. I just twisted them together and plan on soldering it later. Presto the thing works great now. No static, no jumping image. Just a clear picture and wonderfully clear audio. I bet the camera unit has the same chincy wire antenna as well. So before you trash the thing you might look into it. I only had to break the unit in half and just barely open it to get the wire unrolled so I could work with it.

My husband and i have gone through two mobicam ultra and two mobi night lights in the last year. we have two boys age two and three who share a room so having a night light and a video monitor is imperative. all together we have spent over $500 on MOBI products and have tothing to show for it. the products just stop working for no reason, there is no way of getting a refund or replacement. we now have a new baby on the way and will never buy another product from MOBI.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

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.

This product is working great for me. I can rest assure that my baby is safe asleep with using this monitor. I don't have to worry about checking on her frequently. The video image is great on the monitor. Only sometime I have bad reception but most of the time is good.
