11/27/09 Update: I have posted my original monitor review below. Before, my only complaint was that it was “staticky” and I had to move the receiver around to positions where it wouldn’t interfere with other devices. After about six months of use however, it made a loud permanent buzzing sound whenever I turned the volume on regardless of where it was placed. It was so annoying it was unusable. The only way it was tolerable if I turned on the video portion only but kept the sound off which didn’t work for me since I’m not always looking at the monitor, especially at night when I’m sleeping!
I called Mobicam to see if I could get a replacement but the length of their policy is something pathetic like a month.
I ended up buying Summer Infant Deluxe Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor with 2.5″ Screen – Blue (Infant Deluxe Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor with 2.5″ Screen) as a replacement which I’m MUCH happier with even though it as it’s own drawbacks. I will also write a review for that.
5/9/09: Love/hate relationship with this monitor (Original Review)
We had our heart set on a video monitor (not just an audio one) and it was between this and Summer. We decided on this one because of the Internet option so we could see our little guy from work.
When the monitor works, it works FANTASTICALLY. We can see our baby both during the day and at night due to the infrared. I like being able to see his eyes — if they are closed, I leave him be even if he’s whimpering/crying because it means he’ll be able to go back to sleep on his own. If they are open, I go to to see what’s bothering him.
That was the love part. The hate part is that there is static galore. The monitor flickers and buzzes even if you place anything near it — it doesn’t even have to be anything electrical in nature, the screen fizzes out even if you put your hand by the monitor. If you have a wireless phone, it will crackle louder than the TV in Poltergeist. It is super annoying and I spent a lot of time finding the perfect spot to place the monitor where it wouldn’t be affected by anything and where I could still see it.
We have our unit on continuous video monitoring so we always plug it into an A/C outlet, otherwise, we would go through way too many batteries.
I wish we could purchase another video monitor so we can leave one in our room and put one downstairs.
As of now, we haven’t really used the Internet option. If that feature isn’t important to you, I would try the Summer unit instead since that’s the one our friends recommend and it seems to have pretty good reviews on Amazon.

I bought the Mobi Cam for my first granddaughter. My daughter and son-in-law live in a 3 story town house and they did buy a monitor but only with sound. When I saw this I thought it would save them the trip of running up circular stairs just to check on the baby. Anyone who has a new baby knows that you are always running to “check on the baby” with every sound they make. Well, when they installed the Mobi Cam they loved it …. This even shows the baby in the dark bedroom!! No more wondering if the baby is just fussing or really needs your attention. This works!

This monitor is great. I can watch my daughter from downstairs and know that she is in her bed or playing and if she is really crying for me or just falling asleep. It is so great and worth every penny. Great Picture and Sound.
Review by sc_demandred for MobiCam Audio Video Baby Monitoring System Rating:
My wife bought this monitor so that we could keep an eye on our sleeping baby when we’re not in the room.
It seemed at first like a decent product, but has today revealed itself to be a terrible one.
PROS:
Night vision mode automatically comes on, allowing video monitoring of your baby at night.
CONS:
Poor battery life if using batteries.
Terrible interference problems, and not just with computers or lamps, but with inanimate objects or nothing at all – maybe ghosts??
Camera has a TINY range of motion, limiting the places you can put it and still see the baby.
Cheaply made and too lightweight – if you don’t have batteries in the camera, the mere weight of the the cord is enough to pull it out of alignment.
UNFORGIVABLE CON:
It broke; it now emits a constant 60-cycle hum at any volume except the lowest possible, which makes it useless for monitoring your baby’s sounds. Several reviews on here indicate that this is a permanent problem. This product is abysmal, and no one should buy it. The people who have not yet experienced problems, will eventually, I am convinced. F—–, DO NOT BUY.
