Philips In.Sight Wireless Home Monitor (Single-pack)

• Works well after initial problems

  5.0 out of 5 stars

  The cameras arrived, the set up and sync with my iphone was simple and effortless, I could view both cameras via the Philips app w hile on my local network and I was impressed. The problem came when I left the premises and was no longer connected to my local network, the camera view vanished from my app. I went to the Apple store and they couldn't assit me and could only suggest uninstalling the app, which I did to no avail. They then advised that I contact Philips directly. Philips UK/Europe Live Chat hadn't even heard of this product they gave me a specialist number and even the monitor department couldn't help and knew little of this product. In the end they suggested I call Philips USA, though I opted for their live chat (the cheaper option) After a lengthy online chat and many possibilities gone through I was instructed to change my BT router settings. Though this did not work I did set up a new network using an AirPort Express and after connecting the cameras to this new network they have both functioned perfectly. Maybe a cunning ploy by Apple but BT router appeared to be the problem after all. … More (Read full review)

  I needed something like this for my home as I am away often and do like to see my children. The set-up part was really easy, it wo rked from the app. The good thing is that I can watch my kids wherever I am. For work I am often in different places and this simply works from anywhere. … More (Read full review)

• It works but expensive for what you get.

  3.0 out of 5 stars

  The are dozens of bad reviews so I thought I would add my thoughts. I was looking for something to be able to monitor my space whi le I was away. It does that! I didn't know you are locked into using only one email address for alerts and you can't change it once its set up without creating a new account. This is the reason I dropped my 5 star to a 3. That's a big deal and this should be a feature Philips changes immediately. As for people saying setup doesn't work, it can't connect or extreme lag (buffering) times, this is true and not true. It completely depends on your network. Keep in mind streaming video requires ultra fast network speeds and regardless you will still have some lag time. So yeah you need 1G wifi network (rare) if you expect anything close to real-time feeds. Even tivo, dvrs, netflix etc, have at least a 20 sec delay folks. Not philips's fault that's technology. Also the image is grainy but this isn't a $1k HD video camera. I have no problem viewing remotely with the free account and it works fine with Dropbox 2013. I would also like to have an easy off or standby button in the app rather than having to navigate through the cumbersome and unintuitive app. to manually temporarily turn off settings and manually turn them back on again later. Without this when monitoring indoors it will send you messages and record constantly. This is my second must see request for the next app update. But overall I would say it's a definite yes to buy but you must be realistic about technology. Live streaming hd video like your watching tv, especially over wifi is just not available yet with current technology in.sight or otherwise and certainly don't hold these unrealistic expectations for this Philips device. … More (Read full review)

• Hugely Disappointing - Loaded onto iPad3 with retina display

  1.0 out of 5 stars

  I really wanted to like this app. My husband is very 'computer savvy' so I was not worried about negative comments re setting it u p. The hardware looks good, but the app does not work, it keeps crashing. The screen indicates it is 'live' and the dog that can be seen lying on the ground outside on the screen is actually sitting beside you! The only way to get a 'live' image back is to restart the iPad. The picture quality is also poor. … More (Read full review)
