Reviews for iBaby Monitor

At first we were confused when looking at the instructions thinking that it had to be wired in to a router. It does not. You do that one time to set it up, then it just remotely connects via wifi. Very easy to use and good picture quality and sound.

I would have returned it if I did not finally find the troubleshooting "more" files which is very hard to see under support guideline.

Anyway it is really very useful to know how to set up the WiFi and port forwarding with many different kinds of routers!

I would like to rate with 5 stars if your guys can simplify those settings!

I'm loving it!

This thing is amazing on the iphone. Probably the ipad and ipod touch too, but I don't have those. It pushes sound, and live picture. You can control the camera and it's dead silent when it moves. The picture quality is amazing in normal light, a bit less so in the dark (night vision mode). Overall amazing technology in a nice unit. And WAY better than carrying an extra device around. I can see the baby from work and from home.

Connecting the device can be a bit intimidating for novices, but once you figure it out, it works great. Networks are logical devices and if they work for some, they work for all. Note: it will not work with the original Airport Express which has only one ethernet port. You need the newer Airport Express with two ethernet ports, or any other conventional wireless router (they usually have four ports plus the internet). I'm a bit knowledgeable of computers, but no expert by any means, and it was easy for me.

Finally, the only downside of this device is that they wrote the computer (non-IOS) software for this biased to Windows - it pushes sound through Internet Explorer but not through Firefox or Safari - big fail when you're calling your product an iProduct! I emailed their support department and they said they were working on it, but if Apple worked on it, (or worked them over) I'm sure they would make it to push sound thru firefox then we would have full functionality on our Macbooks.

Still, a picture is worth a thousand words, and on the iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch, there is no better baby monitor solution out there - I'm surprised it's not more popular!

Ok, yes it was a little challenging to get it working. (probably not something a novice would want to deal with) but if you have patience and can take the time to follow the directions in the very first review it is very worth it. Our baby is not even due until december, but we're using it as a security camera until then. I think we will end up buying another one

The video quality and night vision are absolutely stellar! We had an iSight monitor and thought that was good until we saw this. It's amazing! Now we would like to start using some of the more advanced features like viewing the monitor when we're away from the house and there is no instruction or support line available. Additionally, the manual is written for PC not Mac and we're an all Apple house. Tune up your level of support and you would get a 5 out of 5 from us.

Why I can't submit the review on iPhone or iPad.Try again.
It's a surprise to successfully reset this camera with new AppS.Since I was planning to return this device before the customer service told me to wait a few days till the new version launched. It was very sad that the iBaby monitor could not recognize my Apple router but I was not worried as I still could use my SONY sound-sensor for my baby.
With the new version download to my phone,it works immediately!!
It is an amazing monitor! I am watching my baby in kitchen now no matter where he moves on the carpet!

I can only say that I LOVE it, easy to use and configure.

I just picked this up last weekend and so far am pretty happy with it. My wife loves it too and we've been watching him at night.

I found the setup pretty straightforward and also had no problems getting the port fowarding to work. I can connect to the cam from the home network, from anywhere on the internet and even over 3G.

The image quality is great, the rotation angles are awesome and the audio quality is good, as well.

The one area where this product falls a bit short is the software. For one, there is only a PC client. While you can certainly connect to the camera via a browser on the Mac, it doesn't support audio.

The iPhone software is very unstable and just shuts down quite a lot. It's impossible to use it as an audio-only monitor - while it's technically supported, if you leave it running with the screen shut off and audio on, it just crashes after a while. Also, there is no dedicated iPad version and the whole app is in pink'ish tones. We have a boy and I'd rather see more neutral colors used.
Lastly, unless I'm missing something, the app doesn't seem to support the audio talkback function.

However, software shortcomings aside, this is a great product and we're happy with the purchase.
