Belkin wemo Baby Monitor F8J007ea Baby Monitor for Apple iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch (Baby Product)

Customer Review

The wemo Baby Monitor.

actually a terrific idea Belkin incorporate a microphone via WiFi to the WiFi and then to make a server accessible from the iPhone to act as a baby monitor.
The device looks very stylish from is shapely and baby easy to use .... really.

Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to take the monitor reliably in operation. Make the idea of ​​a simple dummy device in 5 steps investigated sure his peers. However, this fails incomprehensible reasons for more than 90%.
The monitor is connected via cable to the socket and responds with a flashing icon wifi. Shortly thereafter, a WemoBabyMonitor Wlan to find the iPhone. Without further ado, associated with it and started the associated free app. This will also immediately the monitor and provides a list of all wireless networks found by the monitor. In order for the device to be easily configurable for the in-house WLAN. Unfortunately then fails but the connection with the message could not connect to Wi-Fi. Even a manual input of the SSID and encryption, and of course, the password did not succeed. Once the monitor has connected but then notwithstanding any message in the app with my wireless and worked well on the app. When repeating the configuration (Reset the monitor) but were the original connection error again. A switch of encryption and also the test in other WLANs brought up now to see better results. The support request at Belkin runs. There probably have more people have the same problem.
I can only hope that as a solution is found. Otherwise, the product goes back.

If it would work a great product, albeit overpriced:

Positives:
- Easy configuration (when it works)
- Baby Monitors via WLAN or 3G possible
- Suppression of background noise adjusted
- App runs in the background

Negatives:
- In the monitored area with a Wi-Fi Internet access must be available (problem as vacation, hotel, etc.)
- Fee-based extension (SMS notification and statistics) for horrendous money
- Data stream is always running on a server from Belkin (data security) even when iPhone and monitor are on the same wireless

Addendum:
After comments from Belkin on this review it seems well to have anything changed on the server side.
Now everything works fine! Thank Belkin.
Therefore, I have increased the score to 4/5, there a tax on the value for money and the outrageously high monthly fee for the in-app additional evaluations.
