Poor quality, cuts out of range often, video quality poor – We have had this monitor for 5+ years, and have just replaced it with the 3rd baby (we would have earlier but had invested too much money into it). The camera constantly drops out, freezes and disconnects from the parent unit (only made worse when a second camera was added). Both units were replaced by oricom which didnt fix the issue. The video… Read more
quality itself is so poor it is hard to distinguish much (esp at night time). I cannot tell if baby is lying on stomach or back or side. I can barely make out which direction baby is facing. The volume settings are not adequate, with the lowest volume being quite high). Same with the light on the video too being bright too at lowest setting. I would never buy oricom products again, and have upgraded to another brand upon viewing a family members superior monitor system.

Does everything you need – We have used this monitor for 4 months now and has been great. Pros: -Great battery life. -Good image Quality day or night. -Ability to talk/hush you baby with the 2 way chat button. -Built in night light on the camera you don't need this for viewing at night time though. -Good control over functions, like switching the vibrations alert on or… Read more · 1
off, turning volume up/down or off while receiving video only or turning video off and only receiving sounds etc, zooming in or out on screen stuff like that... -Screen turns off and only lights back up when your baby moves or makes sound which is nice so the light from the screen doesn't keep you up at night, you can also just touch a button to light up the screen. -Good range, i can go out my back yard to the gardens and still works fine (not out the front of our house though, i guess its the amount of walls it has to penetrate which has the biggest effect on range).
Cons: -The lowest volume on the receiver can be too loud at times and should have ability to lower sound more than it can. -Lullaby music plays too loud for the baby late at night in my opinion.
level 1 volume is wayyyyyy too loud! – I’m fairly unhappy with this monitor. Every function seems to be working (but reading everyone else’s reviews, will only be a matter of time before some function no longer works!) but the volume levels seem completely out of whack to me. Level 1 volume scares me every single night that my baby wakes. It’s far too loud for level 1. I shouldn’t be… Read more
startled when it goes off in the middle of the night. I’ve contacted oricom and their only suggestion was to send a video in of the volume level. When my baby wakes, and scares the hell out of me (because of volume level) the last thing I think of is to grab my phone and take a video. I turn the volume off straight away so not to wake my husband or the rest of the house. Really disappointed that a refund isn’t offered if you are unhappy with a product, not a standard practice these day’s. I return items all the time for being unhappy with them and should be able to return this monitor as well.

Great quality for the price and outstanding customer service – We use the SC710 with an additional camera for 2 upstairs bedrooms of a townhouse. The range is great, we had a few issues initially with the second camera dropping out of range but we re-linked the camera and haven’t had an issue with range since. The second camera however did have an image issue (only showing a circle shaped image instead of the… Read more · 1
full screen during night mode) customer service responded immediately and sent a replacement camera. They were extremely helpful and efficient. It was hard to choose what brand of video monitor to go with but after reading great reviews about Oricoms after care and already owning an audio monitor by Oricom we went with them and so glad we did. The unit does exactly what it’s meant to, there is a zoom function and the screen size is big enough to see what’s going on. You can easily switch between both cameras and the parent unit hoods charge off the dock quite well. Happy with our purchase

Great product – Easy to use, reliable, image and audio quality is perfect for my needs. We have a big house and coverage / range is fine for what I need. Great price point Show details · 1
Great Product and Peace of Mind – My Oricom has been fantastic! I totally disagree with the other reviews. My video monitor has been a God send. It is clear, has a great range and battery life. I love how I can see baby during the day and night. The orange night light is just the perfect brightness. The temperature control is also awesome. Living in qld without an aircon, it let's… Read more · 1
me know when the room is getting a little too hot. I would be lost without my monitor. Thanks Oricom for a great quality product.
Does exactly what we need it to do – We used to use this monitor to spy on our toddler but now we use it for our new born and it does everything we need. Especially like the option of digital zoom with the ability to move left, right, up or down whilst zoomed in. Also has temperature notifications, night vision, noise activation and the ability to play lullabies. I did have an issue… Read more · 1
with the charging base that stopped working but one phone call and a brief chat with Janet at their customer service department and I had a new charging base sent out under warranty within 3 days. Highly recommend Oricom because they make decent products and they stand behind the products too with 3 year warranties.

Ummmm – Why does it keep saying out of range when I am only in the next room? And Why does it keep beeping for no reason!! Not impressed, should have spent alittle more to for better quality Show details

Not happy – I bought this from Baby Bunting and do not recommend this product at all. The video quality is terrible, it is constantly out of range, the camera is very flimsy and after a short time it took quite a bit of adjusting to get it to turn on, and now it has just stopped working all together. Not happy ! Show details
Hi Gina, thanks for the message. We are sorry to hear of… Read more
Do not buy - waste of money – Constantly goes out of range, half the time won’t reconnect and in the process wakes up the sleeping baby with the stupid beeping it makes. Would never buy an oricom monitor again!

This has been an excellent monitor with 3 kids – This has been an excellent monitor with 3 kids, we have expanded the unit by purchasing additional cameras. Easy to use and set up with reasonable range on the monitor and good features such as the night light. We had the monitor fail after 2.5 years of constant use and Oricom replaced it no questions asked, great customer service! Show reply
Poor quality image – I have been using this monitor for 19months and slowly the video quality has declined. The image is very clear when there is plenty of light. As soon as the room starts to get dark, the quality completely drops. By the time the room is pitch black i can’t even make out my son’s face. I’m unsure to what has happened as I’m sure when I first got the… Read more

The quality of the audio has dropped as well. We have the sound machine and through the monitor, the sound is jumpy.

Wont work well with multiple cameras – Works great with only one camera connected. Didn’t miss a beat. However when I connected another camera to the parent unit, I have had multiple problems. Both Cameras constantly go out of range, even if I haven’t moved the parent unit at all. Scan function wont always work either Show details

Very disappointing – I only used this monitor for approx 3 months before the charge dock stopped working. Before this it had terrible battery life and only lasted a couple of hours. Also picture quality is poor. Would not recommend! Show details

Works perfectly – This monitor has been great I’ve never had a problem with the connection the temperature reading of the room is quite accurate. It’s very receptive to noises from my baby. I only wish you could turn down the volume further on the lowest setting it’s still quite loud when it’s next to my bed at night. Show details · 1
Good value – We have had this monitor for 2 years now. The very first one we had was replaced as when we opened it out of the box and plugged in the camera picture immediately went multicoloured stripes on parent monitor. A quick call to oricom support and back to Baby bunting we went and got a replacement set straight away. This camera has served us well for… Read more · 1
2 years. Easy to use. Good quality image, love the night mode and power saving settings that turn the screen off if quiet. Simple plug in and turn on at both ends and it works. No messing around with internet connection and apps and worrying if the videofeed will be hacked. 2 yrs on we are only now are we having issues with out of range, vox not working and parent unit turning itself off even though fully charged. We are currently working through this with oricom as it is all still under warrenty (love the 3yr warrenty). The team have been friendly and supportive. We have been very happy with this product.
Had a problem but great customer service – Our first 710 monitor had ‘out of range’ issues and was disappointed however after calling customer service they did some tests with me and determined the unit was faulty. Customer service rep was very helpful, apologetic and replaced the unit within a week. The monitor is good and works well now, but I was most impressed with the service from Oricom. It’s so rare these days! Show details · 1
Great for my needs – This monitor is very handy. I replaced the first one I bought that was another brand as I wasn’t happy with it and wanted a video option. It put my mind at ease being able to see my baby. The additional features of being able to speak to my child through the monitor is handy as is the music feature. It’s reliable and somewhat portable as I pack it… Read more · 1
carefully to take on holidays. Good range of coverage. I’ve had to replace the battery once in just over three years.
Used for 3.5 years – Easy to use and set up Clear screen Temp gage Good battery Good price Good range Used it for 3.5 years for little one still in great condition will use for next baby Show reply
4 years and still works! Some minor issues – We have had this monitor for 4 years now and The image and sound quality is still great. The only issue is that to alert you of sound or movement it vibrates very loudly, even if it is just a cough, and this can be very alarming when you’re in a deep sleep yourself. Ours loses signal all the time now too and the range isn’t great, so we will be looking into a new one for bub number 2. This has definitely done the job for the last 4 years though. Show details

Terrible Range – This monitor was constantly dropping out of range of a night time, in our small 3 bedroom house! It made us, as first time parents, worried about viewing our new born. Have since bought another branded monitor and it works perfectly! I wouldn’t recommend or purchase this one again. Show details

Loved it! – Very easy to use. Dim night light that does not affect your sleep. Range coverage was great. Very reliable device. Super easy to setup and to use. We loved this so much that we bought one set for home and one set for my parents place. Show details · 1
Easy to use, good monitor – Have had this monitor with 2 cameras for 5 years - 2 children. Used for camera monitoring only, didn’t use sounds etc. Had a separate breathing sensor monitor for when they were little. Once the second child came along we tried having a camera on each of them, however ours isn’t a split screen so would have to flick between which would not always… Read more · 1
work - error message and beep, unable to detect.
Had a small issue with the charging base however contacted Oricom and it was replaced. Has been great, have the odd occasion where the screen freezes but all in all have recommended to friends and family.
Great monitor – My sister-in-law had this monitor for her children and I loved how clear the picture was on the parent unit. I also like that it would vibrate and light up when the child moved. When I had my first baby I knew that this monitor was exactly what I wanted. I love this monitor and would recommend it to anyone Show details · 1
Perfect for our needs – This was the perfect camera system for us. We have loved that we could add a camera when our second baby came. Has dropped out but very rarely and either fixes itself or a quick reset will fix it. We have had it for over 2 years and it’s still going strong and used daily. The range has worked for us, our house isn’t small and it accommodates this. We have used the speaking function a few times and voices come through clear. Show details · 1
Very easy interface! – Very easy to use, not bulky, great for a unit/apartment as I’m not sure if it would be a good option for a large house as I think the range is not long enough. It is very reliable! Haven’t had an issue with it. Show details · 1
Compact, basic, used friendly – The audio and image quality on the unit is great for the price range. From the monitor you can adjust light levels, zoom in and out and speak to baby, as well as play nursery rhymes. We would like better range on the unit, we often take the monitor away in the caravan however can’t go to far because the unit cuts out. But are also lucky it’s so easy to transport and set up wherever we are. Show details · 1
Great Long Lasting Product! – Have had this setup for 6 years and has never missed a beat! We’ve added 2 additional cameras to make the most of the multi camera function. Battery life is great and all of our children love the music function to go to sleep :) Show details · 1
Great camera! – Had this camera for years. It has outlasted two babies/toddlers and has been constantly running. Had to get a new battery off their website but still going strong nearly 9 years later. Show details · 1
Good Product – Easy to set up great 2 screen functions. Sound and range good with minimal signal loss throughout our home. Very happy that you can just the monitor sensitivity to suit a baby or toddler Show reply
Good product, excellent service – Monitor works well, have been using it for some three years now. When i recently had an issue with the parent set the service was excellent to resolve the issue. Show details · 1
Great! – Used with my first LO and used now with my second one... almost 5 years of everyday use and still working perfectly. Just needed a battery replacement but was easy to get online through Oricom website. Show details · 1
Absolutely brilliant product – Ive purchased two different monitors from Oricom over a span of 7.5 years. Any faults I have had they have replaced them with no issues at all, every single time, no questions. I can not fault Oricom and would recommend them to anyway - mainly for their customer services with any issues. Thank you! Show details · 1
Wish I knew the negatives of connecting camera 2 – We have had our baby monitor for 2.5 years & recently had baby NO2 so we got the 2nd camera which we thought was such a great idea. However we've found that it you want the monitor to alarm you in either bedroom then you have to have the camera flicking from each room every few seconds & unfortunately the camera is automatically light up. I have… Read more
been able to turn the screen off manually but the sound still comes through. I much prefer when it makes noise if they're waking rather than hearing background noise from their room through the monitor (white noise etc that we have on). Nowhere does it say that this is what happens so I'm really disappointed. We also have found the quality in my daughter's room now is terrible as the PowerPoint is a bit further away & you can't see the whole room clearly
