Digital camera reviews of 4UCAM Handheld 2.5" Video Color Baby Monitor 2.4GHz Wireless Camera Daisy-(Day & Night) (Video & Audio) Infant Nursery Monitor
Digital camera Review: Cute, compact screen with clear picture!
Summary: 4 Stars
This was the first video monitor we purchased after doing extensive reviews of all the other ones out there. I love the fact that the screen is so compact - no big clunkyness. Its great because you can unplug it and use it off the battery during the night or wherever (after its charged of course). The daisy camera is very cute and I like how you can just tap it and the little night lights go off or on so you have a choice. Without the night lights and a very dark room at night - there is still a clear picture on the screen and my husband thought there was actually a light on in her room. I like how there are 4 different channels and we can potentially get more daisy cameras once more children come along. That will be nice. The only thing that was frustrating is the interference with our 2.4GHz cordless phones in the house. Once those were unplugged the picture was great and the audio was good. With the phone plugged in and working in the house, there are lines that make the picture jump and the audio has static. However, I just use my other "audio" monitor for the sound and I can still get a pretty decent picture with my 2.4GHz phone next to it. The only reason I didn't rate all 5 stars is the inconvenience if we decide we have to purchase another set of cordless phones on a different frequency for the best picture and best audio. So basically if you don't have any 2.4GHz cordless phones in the house it would be 5 stars and I would definitely recommend this product.Digital camera Review: Didn't work out for me.
Summary: 2 Stars
OK, it's a cute little daisy, but I'm sorry I bought it. The quality is awful, it's extremely difficult to get the image right-side up (You'd think it would default to that, but nooooo.), tons of static and feedback. Someone please explain how you're supposed to change the channels on the camera? I don't know, I'm sure there is a way, but why not just have a SWITCH? The audio quality is NILL. Nonexistant. I need both audio and video.

The seller refunded my money 100%, so they have improved on their policy. Contact them if you have a problem!
Digital camera Review: Didnt work for us, but good customer service
Summary: 4 Stars
I give this 4 stars b/c in the right environment I think it could be a good product. However, for us it was not sufficient at all, b/c we live in an apartment in a dense urban area, with lots of wireless routers everywhere. So the monitor did not work in some of the rooms in our house and we had to return it. Otherwise, it was cute and had a nice reception in some of the rooms.
GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE: Upon return, the manufacturer stated they charge a 20% restock fee, which I was upset about. I called them directly and they were very respectful and and reasonable in negotiating with me.
Might be a good idea to call them and ask if they think the product will work in your setting if you have concerns about that before buying it.
Digital camera Review: Easy breezy!
Summary: 5 Stars
We ended up having to get a video stlye baby monitor due to our new son's medical problems, instead of being able to use our first son's old one. The prices were all so high, but this little camera was cute, was day and night vision, and it had the handheld video display I was really wanting for less than all the other similar models we could find. When it came, it was basically plug in and ready to go! The picture quality is better than I'd hoped living in a brick home with lots of interior walls. The light used during night vision doesn't bother anyone, and actually works as a nightlight. Plus, you can order up to 3 aditional cameras to use with the one handheld, which I intend to do for our 3 yr olds room, and to have an extra for outside viewing.Digital camera Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazing image quality. Its remarkable how this camera picks up a stunningly clear picture in pitch darkness. Some scientist needs to be rewarded for this spectacular technology. Just as an example, line up three people in an absolutely pitch dark room--you wont be able to tell them apart standing there but with the monitor you'll be able to see each and every facial feature. Needless to say, you get a crystal clear image during the day.
I'm using this product in Pakistan so the only issue I had was that of voltage conversion. The monitor comes with a universal 110/220 V adapter so it works even in our 220 V environment. The daisy camera however comes with a 120 V adapter but it was no trouble at all plugging it into a step up transformer.
A must buy!
