Don’t bother

published

Honestly, I wouldn’t even bother. I wish I read the reviews before buying this monitor. We have used it 3 times and it’s dropped out of range each time. No we don’t have anything on in the house interrupting, we are about 10 metres away from the room, yes we have tried re pairing CONSTANTLY, removed battery, powered on and off EVERYTHING. Sometimes it works and then cya out of range. The parent unit decides to go out of range while I’m still in the room! I have no confidence to actually use this at night. I just hope the refund process isn’t as difficult as it is to own one of these things.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!

published

I have owned this product for less then a year and have had constant issues with it. Sound constantly not working, dropping out of range when standing right next to the camera, screen freezing and after numerous calls to Oricom they are finally sending me a new camera but I have to pay postage to sent my old one back. Not happy with that as it’s still under the 2 year warranty so I should not be out of pocket for a product that for the price you would think would work!!!

Lasted just less than a year then no real help from Oricom

published

It sometimes struggled with range but mostly ok. Antenna lock when it was up, broke early on. After about 11 months it would turn itself off (out of VOX mode) and Oricom was going to send a new one after a lot of back and forth. This never happened and I haven’t heard from them since.

Ideal tool to put your your mind at ease

published

We recently purchased the Oricom Digital and have found it to be quite the handy tool.

Being able to see the tempeture of the room when your child is asleep is genius.

Volume and range of the device on thwle wifi setting is second to none.

I would strongly recommend this to any new parent/parents as you wont be disappointed.

Fantastic company to deal with.

We love our Oricom 850 secure with breathing pads. We had trouble with the antenna becoming faulty after 2 years. Oricom sent a new replacement straight away.
Highly recommend for their product and support with our warranty.

Waste of money

Always drops out of range and have to keep pairing it, camera constantly trying to point down which creates a constant annoying noise. Very frustrating when it should be something simple to use

So many problems. Customer support don't answer.

published

This monitor has been the most unreliable device I have ever purchased. Once again it is constantly displaying the 'out of range' signal. I have to re-set it dozens of time. Customer service often don't answer and call back later (which is generally inconvenient for mothers with babies!)
