Video baby monitors draw more criticism than audio monitors from both professional reviewers and owners, and the MobiCam Ultra is no exception. The less expensive Summer Infant Baby's Quiet Sounds Video Monitor (*Est. $100) fares somewhat better on consumer review sites, but overall, parents just aren't very positive about video monitors in general. Unless video monitoring is essential, you can get a top-rated audio baby monitor for less.

The best professional review of the MobiCam Ultra video baby monitor comes from Denise and Alan Fields' baby gear book, "Baby Bargains." Amazon.com also has enough owner-written reviews of this model to be useful, especially when they're combined with posts on Walmart.com.
