This product struggles to maintain connectivity between base station and monitor. I'm reminded of this daily through the incessant ominous beeping which can’t be disabled, usually at less than ideal hours. An example of less than ideal hours is 3:34 AM.

The clear problem is that this product was perhaps designed for the outdoors, and not for traditional indoor homes, such as my single floor 3 bedroom walled apartment as an example.

Note this excerpt taken from the user manual:

“The maximum range between your Parent and Baby units is up to 300 metres, in optimum conditions, outdoors…”

This statement suggests that Oricom had in fact tested the range of these devices outdoors.

We upgraded to this after our Secure 895 unit stopped working, we wanted a screen with a dock (see my Secure 895 review), a screen that didn't need a Wifi connection and manufactured by an Australian company; the customer service is local, we can't afford to wait days or weeks for a replacement.

Compared to the Secure 895, the screen is much nicer to use even though it's physically smaller. I think the package is mildly disappointing for the price, especially if you don't get it on special.

Pros:
- Australian company, quick and helpful custo...Read more

This is the best baby monitor out of 5 that I have used. I wish I bought it first. It has a good range but of course too many walls always cause problems. The audio and visual image cant be beat, best I’ve ever seen on a baby monitor with a large screen and a camera that moves it is perfect. It’s easy to setup and very user friendly. At first I thought it was a bit pricey but with all the features in one device it can’t be beat. The best thing about it is the music volume slowly increases and decreased to the selected volume and to turn off so ...Read more

We first bought this monitor in Mid 2018 for our first baby. Her room is upstairs and master is downstairs. No issues with signal and the camera quality has always been great. She loves the light show and the lullaby’s- if she wakes at night I turn them on and she settles straight back down.
We purchased another camera when I got pregnant with my son in 2019. His room is also upstairs and we haven’t had any issues with connection. He also loves the light show and lullaby’s.
Having 2 cameras paired does split the monitor into 4 squares which i...Read more

I spent extra to get this monitor thinking it would be wonderful. The features are good, the camera image is good...but only when it connects properly. The signal is so poor, I can’t even have the monitor 10-15m away through two doors without losing connection, and don’t even think about using this product with other wireless devices around. Absolutely shocking. It beeps loudly when connection is lost which wakes everyone up as well. Terrible value for money.

Oricom sent us a Replacement which performed well in the first 48 hours and then bac...Read more

I bought this monitor for my first baby, thinking it’s great... big touchscreen, light show, music, etc. How wrong I was. The first few days everything went well, then it started losing signal. Every few minutes. The screen goes blue and no signal. I wrote to Oricom directly who immediately offered to send me another unit. I accepted. New monitor performed well the first few nights and yet again, no signal! I am soooo disappointed. I do not trust this monitor at all. At some points night image is grainy and dull.
Apart from that, it only comes...Read more

Purchased this unit in June 2018 and have not been entirely satisfied with the product considering the price tag. I have had the battery on the parent unit replaced 3 times as it fails to hold charge for any longer than 30mins/1 hour off the charger cradle. The room temperature sensor is not reliable and more often than not shows the incorrect temp and you can only calibrate it within 2 degrees either way, which is not enough to change it to the correct room temperature. The signal range is not great - we have an average size house and it inter...Read more

Purchased this camera in 2018, within barely a few months the battery would only last an hour. Had it replaced, same thing with new battery. Had parent unit replaced & new battery, same thing. In total I was sent approx 3 batteries, and 1 parent unit. It’s never lasted more than an hour, two max. I gave up & keep it on the charge now & move it to the room I’m using it in. Range is shocking, can only be a max of 2 or so rooms away. I now have a new baby & using more again & it’s just horrible. There’s yellowing to the image on the screen no matt...Read more
