I love it!

published

It was easy set to up. We love the star show, lullabies and night light. The night light isn't too bright and not too dull either, it's just right. There was a small sound issue with the lullabies but Oricom replaced it quickly and hassle free. We would reccomend this brand and product to anybody and would be happy to purchase with them again!

Purchased in March 2021 at Toys R Us / Babies R Us for $80.00.

Love it but now disapointed

published

Love all thr features of this monitor.... however only had it for 3 months and the charge never last and now the music function has stopped working which we heavily rely on. This is our 2nd monitor for a 2nd baby and our 1st never missed a beat. Now i feel like i cant trust it and something else may not work overnight. Its really stressful and inconvient to have to now take it back and be without a monitor. Seems to be a common problem. Dissapointed.

Worked perfectly from day one, did not miss a beat, Over 6ths now and no regrets. Only improvement, you can't buy an extra base station for charging, but the batteries last nearly 8hrs, and I found a spare 6v charger around the house which works via the power port on the side. It did interfere a little with my Amazon Echo.

Great product hasn't let us down.

published

Great product, the range is incredible and the sound is great. Sometimes the monitor will make an annoying clicking sound every couple of weeks but i just need to re set the main unit.
The only other minor issue is that the lights are extremely bright on the parent unit, i have had to cover the lights with blue tac or else it would frustrate me at night time.

going back for a 3rd replacement

published

Tomorrow we will be returning our THIRD monitor to Baby Bounce for replacement. Each unit has lasted 2 weeks of use. Every time has been the same problem - parent unit loses charge, randomly stops linking, music gets a high pitched sound in the baby unit and clunking noise in the parent unit. Disgraceful really, maybe third time lucky?

Love this

published

I got given this monitor as a baby shower present and I love it. I love how it's wireless and can take the remote where ever you go. I like how it's also a night light and plays soothing music and has stars that shine onto the ceiling. It's clear and also has different volumes you can use. It was easy to set up, took a few minutes. It's quite a good little monitor

SC520 Temperature gauge faulty

published

Having the same problem with my second SC520 as my first. Intermittently the temperature display turns faulty. It will show temps of 99 degrees or show no temperature at all, other than too hot (despite it actually being around 18 degrees). Tried resetting, but makes no difference. Everything else on the monitor works fine.

Stopped working after 6 weeks of use

published

Returning this product tomorrow as the music function has stopped working and the handheld unit keeps losing connection with the parent unit and won't hold the battery charge. I have already wasted one pair of rechargeable batteries on this unit. To get it partially working I have to switch off both units and keep switching them on again until they connect again. Hopeless and very frustrating.
I'm disappointed as I really liked the music and light show (note that the light show is very basic and could be a lot better).

Frustrated and disappointed

published

Same issues as I had with a previous model, parent unit won't link and having battery issues.
It won't hold charge for long off the dock.
After 3 months the parent unit wouldn't link, sent it back and was without a monitor for 2 weeks, then they sent me a brand new one - I've had the new one for 2 weeks and today they stopped linking again. So frustrated that I now have to take it back again and go through the same process without having the option of a refund. I would not buy this product or Oricom again which make me sad as I love the light features and the sound quality (when it works!) I still use the old model as a night light for my 4 year old even though the monitor doesn't work.

We have used this model for the last 3 months. In that time, one has gone back after it would stop playing music and a loud screech sound would wake her. Second one wont link any more, and battery wont last longer than an hour. Return policy is good though.

Captivates my little one!

published

The HD sound on this monitor is amazing. Super clear to hear my daughter through which is so reassuring. She absolutely loves the lullaby tunes that flick through and soothe her quickly. It is an absolute bonus that you can also plug your own music into this monitor through the USB port. The light show the baby unit projects captivates my little one and soothes her almost instantly. Highly recommend!

Thank you. I have done this and also set other options to 'screen only' and also turned off backlight. But it still keeps beeping occasionally. It is charged and plugged in. Any thoughts?

Hi!
I have had this monitor since late 2016 and for some reason when it turned on this evening the temp has gone crazy saying it's 88 and 96 degrees.
It won't let me adjust the temp and resetting does nothing.
Can you please suggest how i can maybe get this fixed, or do i need a new one?
Thanks
