 the is no ULTRA October 7, 2006

This product really needs to back to the design board. I am a new father and thought this would be an amazing addition to the collection of baby products that we invested in. however no, it is not. the IDEA of it is great, but in practical applications it is of little use.
The audio it sub par. for a produt that cost nearly 200 dollars and it labeled with the ULTRA classification one would expect amazing performance. however it is quite lackluster. The audio is something that has been mastered by other baby monitor manufacturers so one would expect that this one would be too. Not so. The audio is unusable. I had to go and purchase a 30 dollar baby monitor to hear my child.
The Video. well, that is what this product is for right? well, good luck. I happen to live in New York city so the is interference all around. as well as a WiFi network in my apartment. In this day and age of everything wireless one would expect a product costing 200 dollars to have some sort of RF rejection circuity to make sure that the signal to get through to the unit. Not so. I understand that it is on the 900Mhz spectrum which should not interfere with the 2.4 Ghz spectrum of Wifi and cordless phones. but no, the video constantly rolls and is barely usable. The Night vision is a nice idea, however the IR lights that help the night vision work are too strong, so the image is blown out when trying to place the camera at a distance where one can see the eyes of the little one to know if they are awake. So then placing the unit at a distance so that the night vision actually works puts the camera too far away to see their eyes in the day time. it is a toss up.
Overall i am very dissatisfied with this product. It functions only now to be used in addition to a 30 dollar baby monitor to see if the little one is moving around. not as the primary monitor, which i thought it would be.
The video sounds cool and is a neat idea, but a webcam might be a better option if you have a computer.
plus the receiver unit/video mointor EATS batteries. It should have an option to just use the microphone, that way it would be more economical.

My husband and I purchased the Mobicam 70007 to use as a baby monitor (although, it can be used for other things). I really wanted the video portion so I could see my son at night and not have to panic running into his room to make sure he was ok. It helps me sleep well since I can just open my eyes and see him (even when he was in our room in the pack and play, I had to get up and walk over there to see him...so this is way easier). The picture is fairly good as long as you don't have any "interference" (like a cordless phone, microwave, running fan, or anything else like that around). I find it gives a lot of static at times, which is frustrating.
There are two things everyone should be aware of:
1) Mobi's customer service is non-existent. I wrote in with a simple question over a month ago and never heard back. That is UNACCEPTABLE to me. Not even an auto-generated response. This alone will keep me from buying any more of their products since they obviously don't care about you once you buy from them.
2) You will need to keep the camera AND receiver/monitor both plugged in almost all the time. The camera is easy to plug in, but the monitor eats through batteries. So while it seems convenient to have it be wireless and portable, you'll have to change batteries literally every day! But, keeping it plugged in most of the time is ok.
Overall, this product does what it needs to do and helps me sleep at night. I'm just disappointed in the "service" from Mobi, which leaves a bad taste in my mouth after spending a good deal of money with them for a product I had to wait a month to get.

The system would get 5 stars if not for interference it gets almost non-stop.
I don't own anything else in the 900Mhz range, yet the system receives so much static sound that it's almost unusable. I have used 900Mhz/2.4Ghz/5.8Ghz phones and none of them ever had this kind of static.

With our first baby on the way, my wife and I began looking at the various baby monitors on the market. Not content to settle for audio-only monitors, we checked out the various reviews of video baby monitors, and found that MobiCam came highly rated.
We purchased the latest version of the MobiCam - the 70007 model - and have used it now for a total of two days. With no baby yet, we've positioned the camera to monitor our two pugs as they sleep. The color video image is quite exceptional; colors are vibrant, and detail is plentiful. It's not photo-quality, but it's pretty darn good. And the screen size appears to be larger than on the previous model. The night-time images are provided by infrared lights that can be activated by a push of a button at the bottom of the camera; these images are just a tad-bit grainy, but nothing to really complain about. I haven't fully tested the range, but I estimate that the camera can be about 15 feet away and still get good color pictures; and maybe about 10 feet away for the black-and-white pictures. The audio is good - at five feet away, the audio transmission allows me to hear the pugs snoring quite well.
I've been able to use the receiver all throughout my house without interference of any sort. This latest model operates on the 900mhz frequency, which means there should be much less static interference than with other baby monitors that operate on the 2.4ghz frequency.
Setting up the camera and the receiver was ridiculously simple. You simply plug one power cord into the camera; the other power cord into the receiver; and turn both devices on. Presto! You're good to go. I read the instructions, just to make sure I didn't miss anything, but nope. That's all there was to it. (The instructions came on a single, gigantic sheet of paper, which were translated into just about every language conceivable).
Again, this version of the MobiCam was just recently released, and I've only used it for two days. But so far, I'm extremely pleased.
Not practical October 12, 2006

I returned this monitor after 2 days. I could not get it to stop crackling (popping static sound) intermittently. Also, if you don't have the camera wall mounted, in order to use the night vision option, you have to lift the camera and move a button under the unit. This is not practical since you run the risk each time of not repositioning the camera correctly. Then you have to set the switch again in the AM. This just wasn't the product I expected for this price.
