   Review by H. Gaskill for Mobi Mobicam Digital Wireless Video Monitor Rating: This monitor will interfere with your 2.4GHz wireless router unless you change the channel your router is on. I changed mine from channel 6 to channel 11 and now the monitor and my router work perfectly. Actually now my internet is faster than ever since it’s no longer interfering with anything else in the house. I do like how compact the monitor is and the fact that you can have up to 3 cameras since we have three boys under age 2. I do not like the video on/off mechanism. I think it should have a button with automatic off after a minute or so instead of the switch. I also don’t like the volume control. If the LCD is off you can’t see the volume level. And I have turn the volume up every time I turn on the monitor instead of it staying at the level I leave it on. Overall it’s a great product, they just need to tweak a few things.

   Review by B. Miller for Mobi Mobicam Digital Wireless Video Monitor Rating: We have used this product now for 1 month, and it has fallen short of expectations so far. I expected slightly higer quality for the price. We purchased an additional camera and it paired easily so we can watch both of our children simultaneously. The automatic channel scanning feature is nice, so every 8 seconds you switch between the cameras. The audio is dissapointing, as we were used to the Philips DECT technology, which is far superior. However, there is very little hissing or other static which is nice so you can leave the volume turned up all the time. Screen has large visible pixels if you look closely. Battery life is excellent so far. The Channel switch is becoming loose and I believe we will need to have a warranty replacement on the monitor unit soon. I will update with their response and service. The cameras are not wall mountable, but you can order a mounting bracket directly from Mobi for $3.00 shipping. Nightlight on camera can be turned on or off. This does interfere heavily with wireless internet in our home, on the 2.4 Ghz channel. The voice activation feature turns off both audio and video, so you can not watch you child sleeping quietly.

   Review by Nerissa H. Watkins for Mobi Mobicam Digital Wireless Video Monitor Rating: This monitor is the best video baby monitor out there if you have more than one child you want to keep an eye on. It can automatically switch between up to 3 cameras every 5 seconds or so, the batteries are rechargeable, it has great battery life (I switch to audio only at times to save battery – but it lasts me all day), there is no static, the picture is as good if not better than others (I can see if my baby’s eyes are open or closed), it’s small but has a large screen given it’s size, and the range is good (works two floors down). The cons: 1. The volume level drops (not completely off but very, very low) whenever it is turned off, so you have to remember to turn the volume up every time you turn it on. 2. I’ve had trouble getting the screen to pop out for tilting (I just placed a piece of thick tape behind it to put a little pressure and help it pop out). 3. It interferes with the wireless unless you change your channel (I changed mine to 11 per H. Gaskill’s recommendation…thanks!) 4. Finally, occasionally my monitor turns off for a second when changing from audio only to video or vice versa…which wouldn’t matter except that the volume drops when this happens and sometimes I don’t realize it and can’t hear my baby very well when he cries. Yet with all these cons, it is by far the best out there…and I’ve personally tried 6 before it and researched dozens.

   Review by Kerrie A. Miller for Mobi Mobicam Digital Wireless Video Monitor Rating: replacing the Summer day/night handheld model 02090, which was a great monitor for 18 months then the sound started to go bad and I was getting a lot of interferance. this monitor appealed to me because of the multiple camera capacity and the auto scanning, I have 2 kids under 3 and need to monitor both rooms. The scan option works great, I love that the monitor only picks up the noises the baby makes, and not any white noise in the room. I have a fan in both rooms and musical soothers which do not activate the monitor. Some things I am not happy about, the camera does not adjust side to side only up and down this makes it hard to angle the camera so the camera is pointed directly on their beds when I had hoped to see more of the room to monitor playing and sleeping. Plus the cords are really short I had to purchase extention cords in order to mount the cameras high enough on the wall to get a good view of the kids beds. the Lcd screen on the monitor is a little grainy and not as sharp as my previous monitor I have trouble seeing if their pacifer is still in their mouth. Over all Im pretty happy with it. I think it was expensive and other reviews that I have read make me nervous about it breaking. So far I dont regret my purchase and I hope I dont.

   Review by E. K. Bryant for Mobi Mobicam Digital Wireless Video Monitor Rating: Well I purchased this camera because it was the only camera setup that allowed me to add an additional camera and scan automatically between one camera to the next. I have a newborn and a 2 year old, and I needed to install a camera for my newborn near his crib and for my 2 year old in her room. The setup is simple. The first camera automatically was detected. To pair the second camera you need to press a button on the additional camera and the light will start blinking, once you have selected the channel you want to assign to this camera on the monitor you press the + on the brightness button on the monitor while turning it on. Thats it. It automatically paired the camera to the 2nd channel. The monitor has a switch on the back that lets you select which camera you want to view (up to 3 cams) or if you want the monitor to automatically switch between cameras, it does so in about 5 seconds each camera which is perfect. The monitor brings it own rechargeable battery and it allows you to adjust the brightness and volume. I read some people complain about the sound quality which I would deny. This is a video monitor, not a sound monitor. The sound has good enough quality to hear your baby cry or complain, but its not too loud that it won’t let you sleep like some monitors out there. I used to own a Safety First Hi-Def monitor, but the camera died on me just after the year, and it was far beyond Hi-Def, which brings me to the video quality. In my opinion it is average, not the best but good to the point where I can clearly see my baby and my daughter even in the dark. The cameras have an auto-detection option but haven’t tried it yet, I have them set at auto night vision. Another criticism has been the blue light ring that turns on during night vision. Some people complain its too bright but I can’t complain about it. It doesn’t bother my baby or my girl at night. It even works as sort of a nightlight. Another criticism is that the cameras didn’t bring wall mounts, but mine did. They come with a wall mount that included screw and all. The great thing about the wall mount is that the camera is just set to rest upon the wall mount in no way is the camera screwed into the wall, which is great since you can move the camera without any problems. Also the camera hasn’t affected my WiFi and the range hasn’t been a factor. The Monitor actually includes signal bars measurement just like those on your cell phone to indicate if you’re getting out of range. I have a one story house and the rooms are next to each other. There are few camera options out there, and even for the money you really don’t get much, you would think most of these options the MobiCam has would be standard on all of them, but their not. I really don’t know how long this camera and monitor will last but if they break within a year I would probably buy them again.
