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: Perfect for our needs
Summary: 5 Stars
We decided to buy a video baby monitor as our little guy is a difficult sleeper. In "training" him to sleep we found we were constantly going in while we were supposed to be "letting him cry" because we would think of many reasons why he was crying- has he lost his soother? is his arm stuck in the rails? etc. We have had this monitor for almost 6 months now and it has been great. we were amazed when we first hooked it up with how well you could see when the room itself was pitch dark. in the daylight you can see color and in the dark it is black and white which is fine as we just were wanting to see what he was doing/if he was ok. the sound is a bit staticky but i wouldn't use it anyway as we can hear our son just fine when he cries. all of our phones are 2.4GHz and the only time they interfere with the monitor is when you are actually on them. i have noticed when the microwave is on the monitor gets a bit distorted. my husband acutally broke our monitor a couple weeks ago and it has been too hard to be without it that we just bought a new one! It is perfect for my mohter-in-law too as she used to always go into his room to "check on him" and wake him up and now can just look at the monitor if she is worried.Digital camera Review: Pretty good baby monitor!
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall a nice baby monitor, providing you "peace of mind" when your baby is sleeping in another room. Works well with clear reception when used in the next room from your baby. The reception is worse the farther you are away from the camera, but that's how it is with all baby monitors anyways.
Cons: i don't like the power button, it's a small plastic latch on the side. It kind of pricks you when you turn on/off. Wish they made it larger or make it a "depressed" button.
Pros:
1. Rechargeable (Li Ion) batteries! This feature is a "must have", because most baby monitors only last a few hours before needing the battery replaced or recharged. I originally bought a different brand monitor and went thru batteries like crazy (also inconvenient). With the 4U Cam, all you need to do is plug it in to charge every other day.
2. Lightweight unit (and small)! Easy to hold, unlike another model i had that was heavier and bulky.
3. Automatic day/night mode: some cameras need you to flick a tiny dipswitch on the camera unit to change from day to IR night mode (which is a real pain to remember to do). This camera is automatic, so you don't have to worry about that!
Overall a pretty good baby video monitor system! Highly Recommended!!
Digital camera Review: Quite disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
We bought two cameras for our two children's rooms. The concept of this camera is nice, but the quality of sound is terrible! We had to buy another monitor for each room to hear them. The image is fine. The lights come on in the middle of the night, very bright in little baby faces! They come on because of movement in the room...like the furnace or AC air coming on. The power cord split and came away within a few months of purchasing it. We bought a universal cord and it didn't work very well. After only using these "cute" flowers in our children's rooms a few months...we are very frustrated w/ the quality and lack of decent monitors on the market. It's too bad they don't make a nice monitor that doesn't cost the same as full home security system. Quite disappointing!Digital camera Review: The sound IS poor, but visual is good
Summary: 3 Stars
I read over and over that this product is a great video monitor but static ruins the sound. And everyone was right. This cannot really be used for an audio monitor but it's going to provide me what I need as far as a visual monitor to keep an eye on my older child on the porch should I need to tend to my newborn in the house. Again, don't depend on this for your sole audio....get another monitor for that.Digital camera Review: Thinks Seller Ruined the Product
Summary: 1 Stars
Product and description didn't match what was shipped to me. Product did not work properly when arrived. When I contacted Sellers he didn't want to replace. He stated that this is how all of them work. Contacted manufacturer and they said just bad unit and seller should replace. Wouldn't suggest buying this baby monitor from DBoth. Talk to 4UCAM instead for units that work like they should. They also don't trick you with product images and descriptions. Also after being offered to return the product for full refund I was threated by seller that with full refund I would have to remove feedback about my experience with them.
