Ok - This one was a little bit hard for me to rate. I have an older baby monitor that has been excellent and is not digital. It has lasted through 1 child but they no longer make batteries for it so it was time to upgrade to digital for baby number 2 and add a second camera so we could still keep an eye on our toddler upstairs. When we received our camera & monitor we had a hard time setting it up so we called customer service & they walked us through it with no problem. By the 2nd night we kept losing the signal to our second camera so we called them and they had us reprogram the cameras. We continued to lose the signal (which means you have NO working camera). Finally the entire system went black. We called again and they replaced our entire purchase with new equipment. Once again we installed the cameras but continued to lose the signal especially when rotating between 2 cameras. With a new born "sound" is the most important feature to me. When we would lose the signal in the middle of the night the camera would black out and unless you woke up to notice this you wouldn't even know you had no sound or camera. The baby would be crying & wake us, but no sound was coming through the monitor. Once again we called & expressed our frustration -we were told if we had a lap top or a cell phone in the same room that would interfere with the reception. I THOUGHT DIGITAL was suppose to have NO interferrence. NOT TRUE!I have had this equipment for 2 months and still don't always have clear sound (imagine a cell phone with bad reception)it cuts in and out often. I moved the newborn into my bed for now and the toddler is old enough to call out to us if she needs something. We spent a lot of money to have a system that works 1/2 of the time. Customer service was great, but the product needs improving. BTW - Our cameras are 15 feet from the monitor and 50 feet and we have the same issue with both of them.
This camera works great. We have a baby that for health reasons we need to be able to closely monitor, we have tried four other baby monitors the only one that came close to being a keeper was the Mobi. The camera on that one has a rotating lens and you can get every angle and the picture was great, however it and all of the had horrible intereference. I gave this camera a four because you have to rotate the entire unit as it is attached to the metal base. Not great if you don't want to permanently mount it. It is also a little harder to get all angles. But overall great and I have ordered an additional camera. Also, they are working on an outdoor camera that should be available by November so I should be able to add on and use to monitor the pool outside.
