Look elsewhere and save yourself the trouble!

published

We've had intermittent issues with this product where the receiver just doesn't receive a decent signal from the camera and all we hear is a loud crackling of static.
Stupidly we decided to purchase a second camera seeing as we already had the other one. Well the second camera won't even show a picture...the room is only 4 metres from where we are and we can't even get a signal. Absolute rubbish product and the fact that they are allowed to sell it at that price is a disgrace.
Save your money and look elsewhere. I wish we did.

Worst Baby Product I Own

published

This monitor has caused more stress than good. We are already onto our second monitor as the parent screen charger has stopped working. Tonight our new monitor has just stopped charger through the night and the screen has gone flat. Oricom make it very difficult to get a refund or exchange and instead ask questions like are you using the correct charging port and try to make it your fault that the product is faulty.

Don't bother

published

Monitor has terrible battery life. I feel like I constantly have to plug it in for it to work for a few hours which defeats the purpose of having a monitor if i can't take it with me half the time.
The lullabies barely work for baby to hear. It's also frozen a few times and it's brand new.
Wouldn't bother.

May break, may not...

published

Device is ok to set up, the sensor pad is excellent - the parent monitor is prone to break, easier to deal with Oricom than with Baby Bunting. A bit complicated to deal with the support line, but they do ring back and work to resolve the issue. I've changed this review because they are doing the right thing by sending me out a new parent unit and battery - warranty good for 3 years. So let's hope this next one works longer than 4 months hey ? $100 per month of use.... sad really... buyer beware is all I'm saying...

Tiny field of view. Doesn't look down at bub but can look at the ceiling. Constant feedback if you want sound on. Bright lights on monitor cant be turned off.

Really disappointed in this monitor

published

Really disappointed in this monitor. I have had the monitor for two years. The first time round I needed one replaced under warranty as the screen suddenly turned green after a few months and could not be fixed.
Everything worked fine and then Ive since had my second baby and the monitor freezes on an image regularly or the screen is entirely black. Also the charge lasts less then 5 minutes now. I also have the same issue with the sound and the lullaby being overly loud on the monitor but barely a noise in the babies room. Seems to be problem after problem with this monitor. Will be doing more research to go buy a different brand now!

Rubbish product - camera flicks from black and white to colour even in a fully lit room, lullabies can't be heard through the camera but are ridiculously loud through parent unit, if baby cries the sound is extremely muffled and hard to hear. I've called up and support have sent me a replacement camera which was worse than the first one and then a whole new unit which is equally bad so now they're 'testing' one before they're sending it to see if it's just the design or if there is an issue on my end (which I'm sure there's not).

Bottom line I wish I'd never bought the thing and I'll have to buy a different one before baby goes in his own room.

Regretful purchase

The lullabies/white noise and the left button don’t work. The display also keeps flickering between colour and black and white even though the room is well lit during the day.

Will be calling today. Not because I have any hopes of fixing this dog of a product, but because baby bunting isn't authorised to allow Oricom returns until we have the tech support code you provide!

Great picture and sound quality! Love that I can move the camera around by pressing a button too. Never had any issues with it. Very easy to set up, camera connects to monitor automatically.

Depends on which unit you get from the store

published

The first Oricom SC895 we purchased was broken - there was no sound and the zoom function did not work. We called Oricom, they were great and gave us a reference number to get it replaced from where we purchased it. The second monitor we got was much better however the sound is still of low quality and is very quiet and muffled. I wish we could turn the sound up further as I have to pay close attention to be able to hear the baby making sounds even when it is on maximum volume. It's possible we got another dud monitor but I cannot be bothered to go through the process of returning it again. The video itself is great, love the night vision and large screen. If the sound was louder I would give the monitor a higher rating.

It’s coming from the main unit it’s like a fuzzy buzzing sound I thought there would be no noise unless there was a movement or bubs crying

Questions & Answers

Eliza H.

Eliza H.asked

Hi. I’ve recently purchased this monitor but am pretty unhappy. Firstly, I have set the VOX up to high, monitor on power saving mode and the manual says the monitor will turn back on when baby cry’s or makes a noise. This does not happen. My son is up the other end of our house and I hear him screaming through the walls and still nothing coming from the monitor. This is a highly frustrating having to leave the monitor on (not in power saving mode) all night in my room just so I can hear my son when he wakes. Secondly, the charger does not work properly. I have to fiddle around with the cord to get it in the right spot to actually charge. Very unhappy with this monitor at the moment. My sister has a few models before this one and has never had any trouble. So why does everyone seem to be having troubles with newer models? Waste of money as I can’t even use it properly.

Hi
I have the CU895 baby monitor with the additional camera. I have paired both cameras which work fine, however when i unplug the cable the cameras don’t work.

We had assumed that by pairing and having the antenna at the back the cameras would be portable.
Could you please advise if/how to do so?

Thanks

Lucy

Marlene S.Oricom

Hi Lucy, thanks for your message. The only item that is portable is the parent unit, the camera units need to be plugged into power at all times. If it is the parent unit keeps turning off, please check the battery is connected correctly and the unit is fully charged. Alternatively please contact our support team to troubleshoot on 1300 889 785 8am-6pm Mon-Fri EST. All the best and stay safe Oricom Baby Care.

Hi there, my oricom secure 720 monitor has exceptional image quality in the day but if the block out blinds are closed or it’s night the picture is so grainy. This model was given to me because the image was much worse on the previous hardware of the same model and it was and is still in warranty. Do you think there is a reason for this and could I please have direction as to what to do while the current lockdown is occurring. Thanks in advance any assistance is very much appreciated.
