iBaby

Great product one shortfall – I have an M7 & M8 and love them, the lights, music and story features and playlists can buy precious time in the morning. I don’t use the various alarms, dirty nappy detect air quality etc but these work well with sone variance of course. But the white noise depends on an internet connection, this is a major flaw as if you use white noise every… Read more

night as we do, sooner or later any internet connection will falter overnight resulting in waking the children, when they get used to white noise and it gues off it wakes our children. Happened about three times a year for us so we bought separate devices for white noise. The temperature sensor is off my 3 degrees also, no big deal once you get used to it.

I baby monitor i7 – I have a air purifier and a DVS ventilation system in the room with it and it says bad quality air the camera on day mode blotches out my sons face and it makes this really annoying clicking sound everything light adjustments happen Show details

Great vision, sound and plays music!! – Hubby works in IT so he researched and compared this device with others in detail. We love how clear the camera is at night and during the day. Bonus is it records, plays lullabys (there are at least 50 song choices!), has a speaker if you want to speak to baby and tilts and pans easily to capture baby's entire bedroom. We have it set up on both… Read more

of our phones. Make sure you have wifi connection that is reliable otherwise, I think you will be complaining about the reliability of the camera when really it's about having a good wifi connection! Me and husband have had no issues and think it's a great purchase.

Unreliable and crashing app – The image quality and sound quality are great, however frequently freezes and the app crashes several times per nap. I’ve emailed the company and they admit issues with the app

Perfect of you or your partner if you work a lot! – Really great product, works really well just annoying that it relies on wifi! You need to make sure you have your wifi working on the right setting for camera to function well! I like it because I can see my baby breathing as the quality is so good! My partner talks to our son when hes at work, which means he never misses a moment! Also the other features are a great bonus, its like 5 products in one!

Starts ok but after 5 months it’s become unusable :( – Audio and image quality are great. The app is good. HOWEVER it has suddenly started dropping connectivity and this makes is dangerously unreliable and offers us no peace of mind. :( For the first 5 months of operation this unit worked exactly as expected and then suddenly (one week ago) it started to drop the wifi connection after… Read more

approximately a hour. It will only become available again after a power cycle.

If anyone knows a remedy to this I would love to hear it. I’m unaware of any changes to our wifi or other environmental factors. We have upwards of 20 other wifi connected devices in the house and they’re all operating fine.

In theory it’s great, in practice it’s unreliable – I bought one of these online as FTM and it seemed to tick all the boxes - app, able to use while travelling, good audio/visual, sleek design. The monitor itself was easy to set up. My baby is 4.5 months old now and I haven’t been able to use this reliably on a single occasion. It’s been sitting gathering dust whilst I research other options.… Read more

The app would constantly freeze so I thought my baby was fine when in reality she was crying and needed me and would often fail to connect no matter how many times I restarted the unit and/or the app.

I live in a small house with excellent internet coverage as well so it’s beyond me why this unit struggles so much to perform a basic function. Very regrettable purchase and experience.

Just doesn’t work – Don’t waste your money. I took back one that didn’t even turn on took home a new one to find out that doesn’t even work either. My sisters first one as well stopped working, so do not trust this machine. Also had such a hard time to even get the first one exchanged because it was faulty. Now just thinking about putting it in the bin to not have to… Read more

go through the fight to get it replaced again! No good enough and not a happy customer at all! This was the M2 model but would not buy one at all save your money!

We couldn't trust it – I travel quite a bit for work, am always on my phone and love technology. The iBaby monitor was a perfect fit for what I was after. It looked great, could connect easily to my wireless network in my house and I could access the footage and video remotely. BUT... watching your kid sleep for an hour and then realising the screen has been frozen… Read more

completely kills your ability to trust the product. Trust is the number 1 benefit for baby monitors. If you can't trust it... then you aren't using a baby monitor. This product is an internet connected audio visual camera, not a baby monitor.

Right now we are using it to monitor our dog when we leave the house because we love seeing what he is up to and can risk the screen timing out or the product losing connectivity.

We now use the Oricom SC860 Touchscreen Video Monitor and couldn't be happier with the Oricom.

Love the monitor but the reliability is lacking – It’s a great monitor when it works properly which is 90% of the time. It needs to be reset from time to time which sometimes can’t be carried out due to bugs which is really frustrating. the issues we’ve had that needed resetting: distortion in noise when turning on “listen”, alerts not saving in the media gallery and monitor not connecting… Read more

alltogether. the cable on the monitor is placed quite inconveniently as it restricts the position of the device and takes awhile to adjust the picture. Apart from these issues the monitor is great, I love that I can open the app and check on my baby even if I’m not home(not that I don’t trust whoever is looking after him...sometimes it’s easier than an annoying text- “is everything ok? Is he still asleep?”

Absolute Junk – Have not been able to install on Android or IOS, connection unreliable and support was along the lines of "have you tried switching it off and on again". I believe it is an issue with the iBaby application (iBaby View) not being compatible with the latest versions of Android or IOS, however I have not been able to confirm this and their support desk is not very helpful.

Wonderful....when it's working :/ – Image is quite good, does the job and has some good features like being able to take photos. Set up was easier than anticipated. Unfortunately the reliability of the product lets it down. Connection was frequently lost and app occasionally wouldn't open. I also found that leaving the app open on my phone caused my phone to chew a lot of battery and overheat.

Static issues! Do not waste your money! – Terrible product. The audio is fuzzy at best. My first one the sound went completely out and was nothing but static. I sent that one back and the company sent me a new one, which did the same thing after 1.5 nights of use. Again I sent it back and this time the new one did the same thing except I never had any use out of it, it came out of the box… Read more

broken. So my wife and I are just going to cut our losses and buy a new monitor from a different company.

No Australian help portal.. Below average products – Once you contact ibaby in USA they seem incapable of answering any questions, be prepared for no answers and spaced over weeks. Don't care if product faults after 14 mths cause warranty as only 12 mths- definitely do not stand by their product... As for the alarms/ alerts.. Very poor. Wished I had never gone with ibaby.

I still love my IBaby Monitor – My Grandson turned two yesterday and I am still loving my IBaby Monitor. I love how you can take photos of your bub as well. I as able to capture the exact moment he first climbed out of his cot. He is now in a bed and I can make sure he is able to get back into his bed when he gets out. The glowing red light acts as a bit of a night light, as… Read more

he's able to find his way back to bed if he gets up. I am able to turn the camera to check where he is in the room and make sure he is ok.

Not so good compared to the price paid for it $160 – Camera works on wifi. Good picture but very unstable. Sometimes when my wifi is ok but the picture still drops. Worse is when the picture drops, and goes off with out notice. Baby was screaming and crying in the room. We realised when we walked nearby. If we didnt check on the baby ourselves, the baby would have continued crying crying crying… Read more

unnoticed. Didn't like it. I still prefer good old Target's Baby Camera that cost us $79. I can use camera as security camera and watch the house over 4G mobile broadband. Expensive. Unstable. Unreliable. Hard to move it around.

Can't multi task – We bought 1 ibaby and it worked well so we then tried to set one up in each of the kids rooms. This is where everything went wrong. They are now unreliable, constantly drop out etc. they will not show up on our iPhone or iPad and only work on the computer which completely defeats the purpose. Comfort of being able to see baby Frequent drop outs

WORST. SUPPORT. EVER – The iBaby looked very promising from the start but has not been able to connect via our computer at all (which is my main viewing platform and the only way to set up accounts etc.) - I have posted support note after support note and get some generic question in response (usually DAYS later). This has been going on for 3 weeks now... so… Read more

essentially it has become an expensive useless piece of plastic and wires that is about to be returned for a refund. What they promised What they delivered

prefect! love the product – I bought this on ebay in which seems to be the best price i get on the market. Excellent monitor, looks like a surveillance camera. Good image quality. very timely. It was purchased for my 8mo baby who likes rolling on the bed. I didnt expect this to save baby cries or prevent her from doing things because no matter what you still need to go to… Read more ·  3

see the baby with or without the monitor. The monitor allows me to see my baby if she is playing ok on her own whilst i am downstairs (avoid running up and down) and let my husband who is at work to check on us two at home, and my parents overseas to see the baby. Yes it works perfectly even the camera and the iphone are at two different countries. I guess this camera is prefect no just for baby use, if it's properly install at the house, it can be served as a real surveillance camera. Great invention for that price as everyone these days have ipad, iphone i pod...the ibaby will last forever whereas other baby monitor stuff has to use its own remote system ... timely, prefect night vision, monitor movement control, compatibility with i- products!! cant zoom and not video recording feature

Expensive & only OK – When it works it is great, however this is only 60% of the time at best, therefore it is unreliable as a safety monitor. I travel a great deal for work and it has always been great to watch my daughter from other cities around the country/ world. When it was first purchased ibaby worked great, but in the last year the reliability has been terrible Good night vision, can use anywhere Incredibly unreliable

Good concept but unreliable – Like you, Jason, since using it on the first night....there were multiple disconnections and the app also crashes intermittently. And there were times couldn't connect after trying several times. Constantly asking for Username and Password when I asked for it to be saved. The number if times I woke up to see if I missed hearing my baby cry only… Read more

to find out that it has dropped out. Other times, My daughter was crying in hysterics only then did the alarm sound. Which was too late.

N it chews up the battery life on your phone too.

I do like the features of the night vision n it's ability to move at a swipe of the finger n that my husband can see her when he's away.

I think if the bugs are fixed on the app, this has the potential to be a really good product. Night vision, move the camera at a swipe of my finger, can see my LO anywhere there's a wifi/3G connection The app can be unreliable as it keeps dropping out, can't zoom in/out gradually, sensors could be more sensitive

Great value for money – I am so impressed with this gadget. You can hear and see bubs on your iPhone or iPad. Once set up it works well. There's a handy utube video on how to do it. Night vision is great and being able to move the camera from your device is so good. Peace of mind is priceless. Love it.... Well worth the money.

Great concept and easy to use with iOS BUT – At first, when I bought the ibaby monitor -> great concept being able to use iphone or ipad to connect to the wireless baby monitor. Was relatively easy to set up. Had a good modem router Netgear DGND 3700 to connect wirelessly. It was great being able to control the movement of the camera lens with the ipad or iphone. You couldn't hear it moving… Read more

as well - super quiet. Easy to mount using a tripod.

HOWEVER, using it on the first night....there were multiple disconnections and the app also crashes intermittently. And there were times couldn't connect after trying several times. This really failed the whole concept. The whole idea was that you had a good reliable connection -> this totally failed. Recently returned it to the store for full refund. Since then bought the Angelcare video monitor and have been super happy since :) Being able to view using the mobile while you're at work and wanted to see bub at home. Ease of use of app. cost. frequent disconnection!!

Safe and sound – The iBaby monitor is so easy to setup and control. The night vision works great for when bub is asleep and you can remote control the camera to see other things in the room. Both my wife and I can check up on bub from downstairs on our iPad or iPhone and I can even get a glimpse of her sleeping when I'm at work so I don't miss all the action. The… Read more

audio is very clear, works well with my home wifi and the iPhone app takes about 5 seconds to learn. Price-wise, this is great value for the convenience and peace of mind it offers. I highly recommend this product to any parents of young children. Great features, easy to use, works with my iPad and iPhone.
