Difficult to program – Found it difficult to set up and commission and tyres drop out saying they are not reading.

Useless - thinks a baby is there when it isn't – Useless - you can remove the baby and it still thinks the baby is there. Just sits there flashing away happily. Worst purchase I've made for our child.

Fair, but not as loud as I would like – Modern appearance, and ring tone is loud. But I bought it principally for the amplification of voices. It's louder than a normal phone, but turned up… Read more

to 9 on the amplification dial (the maximum) I find it only just loud enough. Could do with being louder

Excellent product - exceptional customer service – Its a great product that has helped my kids sleep tremendously. What is truly outstanding is tue customer service and support from Oricom - they really care about their brand and customer. I can highly recommend them.

communication and no more complaints from drivers not being able to hear me call them in, the volume is way better than I had and the unit is designed well, no more accidentally turning volume down or disconnecting the headphone jack if bumped, very happy with the unit.

Purchase this radio unit directly from Oricom, and discovered that it uses RJ12 plugs when I was preparing for the install by and Auto Electrician. … Read more

This becomes an issue when you wish to install the unit into your car with a pass through plug in the dash. This is a standard install these days. Firstly it will need the extension cable - can be purchased from Oricom. However Oricom do not have a solution for the pass through plug for the car dash. It is possible to find aftermarket RJ45 plugs with no issues - I could not find an RJ12 to fit the dash. Why not standardise and make the customer experience easy.

guarantee youll have to go and wake your bubs up. Also I think they could have done far better with the app, you can not set upper and lower limits for alarms so if youre monitoring you can almost be certain youll be up all night watching. Also it takes sometimes 40 minutes to calculate a skin temp baseline which absolutely sucks for those arvo naps. Honestly I would look elsewhere. The lady at baby bunting actually gave me the number for oricom when I purchased it assuming im not the only person that can't predict the missing information from the instruction manual

Wonderful Service – The service I’ve received has always been very helpful, prompt and friendly. When seeking support for any issues I’ve had, the service was excellent. The UHF310 suits my needs.

Severely disappointed and filled with regret. I watched youtube tutorials of this product to see how it worked when I decided to purchase - if only… Read more

it DID as promised! The charge points are frail and don’t sit properly. Despite having multiple wifi signals to connect to, it consistently drops out. “No Link”. Despite motion sensor turned OFF, it turns on its own. I can’t control the camera from the monitor - it feels like it’s FIGHTING me. Auto turns off within minutes. I wanted this product so I could get things done around the house and monitor while bub napped, but I find myself spending so much wasted time trying to fix and reset the monitor until I just give up. More than defeats the purpose when I get it working and within a minute the camera drops link or moves out of view on its own and I have to keep sneaking into the nursery to adjust.

new ones. And the parent unit just after 2 years could no longer be heard, the sound wasn’t coming through the parent unit, (it still came through on the app) but Oricom where amazing and are sending us a replacement parent unit as the device is less then 6 months outside of its warranty. So despite having a few issue, we’ve been impressed with replacements. The camera and parent unit when working, are amazing.

5 replacements all with similar issues Cheap, Tinny Rubbish! I did a lot of research into baby monitors before deciding on Oricom. What a mistake… Read more

that was. Wish I had someone to talk me out of it.

A few points to keep in mind * Faulty strobing/flickering night light. Disruptive to child’s sleep. (Strobing/flickering not a feature)(Would occur without nightlight feature being used at all) This issue occurred within a few months of receiving each replacement.

* Temperature sensor is extremely inaccurate. Ended up using a separate Bluetooth thermometer. Regular warnings of High Temperatures when it was not even close.

* Motion detection was hit and miss at best. For example, Child fell out of bed a couple of times and it wasn’t captured at all.

* Monitor speaker - is very poor quality. Suppose to play lullabies and noises. Comes out as a very static sounds. The ability to speak to your child through the camera is incoherent, if heard at all.

* Separate monitor display has a poor battery life and if slow to turn on.

Oricom will not provide a refund despite reoccurring issues with every replacement. They continue to push their rubbish product until your warranty is up.

Do yourself a favour avoid Oricom entirely. You will not get the support you would expect when the time comes from such a big company.

Acurate monitoring – Does the job really well. My brother was the one who discovered this and recommended this specific brand to me. He said it does not cost much but performs really great. He was right after all.

it is running coming through the speaker, has no effect on the performance of the unit. At this price point shielding to deal with in vehicle electrical interference is probably asking for a bit too much. Very happy with mine.

When I first purchased this monitor the connection would consistently disconnect between the monitor and the camera. Oricom replaced the camera which… Read more

temporarily fixed that issue. Unfortunately, the connection on the monitor will randomly drop out in the middle of the night (despite there being good wifi) meaning we lie in bed listening to the beeping and have to get up in the night go to the other room and switch off the monitor. The charging cable will also randomly disconnect meaning the monitor will also start beeping in the night. How ironic that the monitor is waking us up more than our 3 month old baby! This product is frustrating and unreliable. Have lost all faith in the quality and reliability of the Oricom brand.
