 Doesn't work with a Wireless Network Feb 14, 2005
By A. Davis
I was really looking forward to having a monitor so I could see my son at night. When I started using it the monitor had lines running through the picture and I couldn't hear anything. The manufacturer said that it doesn't work when you have a wireless network. I was really disappointed so I sent it back. I bought the Handheld Color Video Monitor by Summer Infant. It works great with my wireless network and my 2.4 Ghz phones. It doesn't work very good with other 900Mhz phones or controls according to the manual.

 WARNING... please read before using this monitor Feb 03, 2006
By @homemom
I just received my new monitor, so I can't say yet how I'm going to like it long term but found something out when setting it up that made me come post IMMEDIATELY.
I plugged the camera into my daughters nursery and turned it on channel 3, came out to the living room and plugged in the monitor unit.. and went to switch it to channel three... channel one all static as it should be, however channel two had a perfectly clear image of a nursery, but NOT MY DAUGHTERS!!!! Our nextdoor neighbor has a son, and I was looking at what I'm sure is his nursery... talk about a creepy feeling knowing I was looking into the neighbors sons bedroom (and I'm guessing would be listening to if the happened to be home and in the room) since that means that if they change their channel they will be looking/listening in on OUR daughters nursery. I'm not sure what I'll do next, if I'll keep the monitor and hope they don't change channels or what.
That said the picture is amazing, haven't tested it for sound yet... but since I can pick up our neighbors nursery I'm guessing my range will be just fine for our own inside or outside the house.
So... great monitor, maybe to great... you decide!

Best Baby Monitor Nov 03, 2004
By dragonluv
PROS:
* It's great to be able to see your baby as well as hear what's going on. :)
* Easy to reposition cameras and take the monitor with you
* More than one camera linked to one handheld monitor. It's wonderful to be able to toggle between my two year old and 6 mo old napping in different rooms :).
* Night vision provides a clear picture in low/no light
* Great reception (at my house anyway :P)
* Able to connect the monitor to the TV
Two minor things that could be improved:
* I think it would be more helpful if the switches on the camera were on the back or top instead of the bottom so you don't have to pick up the camera everytime to turn it off or change the setting - or even better if you could control the camera (on/off/night vision) right from the monitor :)
* You have to keep it plugged in if you want to use it all night. (not sure about the auto setting - don't really use it)
If you're looking for a baby monitor, this is a great one - I bought it with an extra camera. :)

Friggin SWEET! Feb 12, 2006
By Kat
To provide some background, I live in a townhome in Northern Virginia where people have wireless networks on either side of us. We use our own wireless network extensively (typical Linksys 2.4 GHz) and we own a cordless phone (Uniden 5.8 GHz). The Mobicam Wireless System works fantastic in our house! I am incredibly impressed with the quality of the video. The screen, while small, works well and if I need a larger view then I can just use the AV jacks with the television. I'm glad I didn't allow some of the other reviews on this board prevent me from purchasing this system! Also...few things are cooler in this world than infant-surveilling-night-vision!! I mean, c'mon people! It's night vision! For babies! That's cooler than monkeys juggling bananas!
Being that I'm 9 months pregnant I had more than ample opportunity to play around with the night vision function (during my vampiric hours of insomnia) on the camera and it works great despite the bright nightlight we have in the nursery. Like most cameras, an interior camera works best facing away from the light source (window during daylight) but you can adjust the brightness on the monitor so that's not too bad. This is definitely worth the big bucks:) I am very pleased:)

Works great...even with wireless routers Jul 10, 2006
By Paul N. Yakob
"Digital Dad"
We have had the Mobicam 70001 system for over a year and never had a major problem. For those with wireless router issues...just change the channel setting on the router so that it is not 1, 2, or 3. Same with the 2.4Ghz telephones. Pretty simple and easy. The biggest thing to reduce static is to turn the receiver slightly so that is aligned better with the signal. I also have ours setup with the wall mounted outdoor camera (this auto switch from day color to nightvision) and I have added two AV receivers so I can plug into the big screen TV to see both babies at once during the evenings when I am doing house work downstairs. Overall I have two 70001 systems (just bought another on 7/10/2006), two AV receivers, and two outdoor cameras that I have mounted indoors up high on the bedroom wall to see the entire crib. Great products and great peace of mind.
