When my boys were babies we didn’t need a baby monitor. To be honest we never actually saw the point of having one. Looking back I now know that it was because we lived in a small home so you could hear if they were crying or awake. When I was pregnant with Poppet we moved into our brand new home which is substantially larger with a completely different layout than our previous. It didn’t occur to us that because of the layout change and space between our room and the nursery that we couldn’t actually hear her. This of course prompted us to purchase a baby monitor. We read review after review and chose the Oricom Secure 710. It was fantastic!
I have 100% faith in Oricom as far as their baby monitors are concerned. This is why when I was offered the opportunity to review the new Oricom Secure 850 I couldn’t say yes fast enough. For the record, it is amazing! This high quality digital baby monitor features a motorised pan-tilt camera which is controlled through the parent unit. The tilt camera is capable of a 300 degree horizontal and 110 degree vertical movement which allows you better visibility of the nursery.
The 4.3″ display monitor produces a clear image both day and night thanks to the high quality and infrared camera. The Oricom Secure 850 offers so many wonderful features including: 5 soothing lullabies, a soft and comforting night light, room temperature display, digital zoom on the parent unit and much more. This monitor is capable of using up to 4 cameras (additional cameras are sold separately) and boasts up to an 8 hour battery life.
My favourite features of the Oricom Secure 850 are the parent talk back which allows you to calm your little one when they are beginning to stir without having to go into the room. You know as well as I do that once you make eye contact, THEY ARE UP! The motorised movement of the camera is beyond impressive. It is silent when moving so there is no risk of it waking up your baby should you need or want to have a look around. I did find a spot in the house (a 15cm section of my desk in my office) where there was some interference but it was minimal, especially when you consider how many electronic devices are in close proximity.
Even though I would not expect you to need it the Oricom Secure 850 comes with a 3 year warranty. The camera is very easy to install. You can sit it flat on a shelf or hang it on the wall and thanks to the tilt capabilities it still provides amazing visibility.

Disclosure: I received the above product for the purpose of this review. All opinions are my own.
I think the best feature is the talk back option. I think this is great because i would take the monitor outside to do gardening or hang up the washing and if my baby woke. I could let them know I could hear them and am coming and i could perhaps quickly finish hanging up the washing or wash my hands. A monitor like this not only with the talk feature but the camera would give me some independence from my baby so i could get some things done. Can you tell my baby is a cat napper!
So many amazing features like infrared camera for night vision, soft comforting night light and 5 soothing lullabies to put my baby to sleep sounds amazing.
The 110 degree vertical movement, I loved that it’s no a fixed camera, perfect for my wriggly bub.
Where do I start, lol. I am just amazed at the sheer range of capabilities and features that the Oricom Secure 850 has. Gone are the days of that little beige box where you tried to listen through the static for any signs of crying. Digital camera with fully motorised movement that lets you see the whole room gives such peace of mind and talk back option is perfect. The infrared night-vision capability, night light and lullabies are valuable bonus extras. The bees knees of baby monitors and it looks good too. Yes, want it!
The large 4.3″ display so I can “monitor” bubs and know he is “secure” whether it’s “8.50”am or “8.50”pm. It would mean no more sneaking into the bedroom trying not to get caught or wake him up on the creaky floorboards.
I just love that I can have it hidden in my teenagers room to be able to catch him out when he’s using technology out of his allocated time!
You had me at “Easy to install” either that or wait for bub to be old enough to install it!!!
I love the idea of monitor that has a camera! I think this is the best feature as although hearing when baby wakes on a monitor is helpful, nothing beats the peace of mind of being able to see that your baby is safe while they sleep without having to open the door and engage in ninja creeping or commando crawl status so you don’t wake them whilst you check! Im one of those parents who loves to check on my baby a lot during the night (even after 3 kids as we have had a family member pass away from SIDS) just to make sure they are ok and this would definitely help me get a better night sleep. I also love the fact that you can use the monitor to talk to them without having to go into the room, it amazes me how clever technology is these days!
Up to 8 hr battery life, for the confidence that it’s not going to stop working misleading you to think bubs ok and everything’s alright as nothing is being seen or heard.
My favourite feature would have to be the pan tilt camera! I am one of a very lucky few that can bring my preschool children to work with me, this feature would be tremendous in their playroom so I can keep an eye on them and view the full room from my office!
Room temperature display for when seasons change you can adapt the surrounding to babies liking!
I love the talk back feature. I can put it in the lounge room and pretend it’s God talking when my guest come over!
I love the infrared camera for night vision! Now, if I could just have the same power when they are a teenager and a young adult I’ll be right!
Infrared camera for night vision because then you can put your mind at ease when you wake up panicked in the middle of the night that you have fallen asleep and not heard the baby
I love it includes a room temperature and it have night light pluse the night vision it great way to check my baby all time
The lullaby music it is for me
As it softens and soothes baby number 3
Keeps out the noise from my big ones
Allows him to sleep when they’re having fun!!!!
I love the talkback feature because when my son is starting to rouse if I gently say a few words I can often lull him back to sleep for another 40 mins or so. But if I were to go into his room I’d probably wake him too much and ruin any chance I had of getting him back to sleep.
I love that it’s multi camera capable. This means I could replace the horrible monitor I have in my toddler’s room and still have a fantastic monitor in the newborn’s room, and have it all feedback to one unit on my bedside table (instead of adding ANOTHER to the two I already have there!)
The pan-tilt-zoom feature is what I adore
Perfect for those times when I want to see more
If I’m concerned that the baby’s not breathing
Simply zoom in and see his chest move – so relieving!
As a new mum I tend to worry too much
And rouse him from sleep with my unpracticed touch.
But with Oricom, those times would be a thing of the past
I can see that he’s safe and rest easy at last.
Even when he crawls to the other side of the cot
The camera can follow (and he does this a LOT!)
And when he’s a toddler in his room with his toys
I can supervise and be far away from the noise
The Oricom can even detect that cheeky glint in his eye
(that makes him climb the wardrobe cos he thinks he can fly)
Just by tilting the monitor I can see where he’s gone
A mama’s best friend isn’t diamonds – it’s Oricom!
My sister has the Oricom Secure 850 Video Monitor and my favourite feature would have to be the digital zoom on the parent unit, for that extra peace of mind!
it provides amazing visability to allows me to see my little bub even when i am not there, i think it would be a real peice of mind to be able to see bubs so clearly
I love the screen and the camera. The last one I had 5 years ago was just the standard sound feature that all monitors have, it didn’t have anything like this so I think it is great and will be wonderful for my little one
Favourite feature,
Camera tilts and pans.
Quietly motorised,
It stealthily scans.
Horizontal, vertical,
Zooms in and out.
Provides peace of mind,
Without a doubt.
The pan tilt camera. There’s nothing more beautiful to watch than a peaceful, sleeping baby!
I love the unique feature of 5 soothing lullabies. I sing like a train going off the rails, completely off tune!
I love all the features this Monitor offers, i can keep an eye on both of my Grandkids at the same time, whilst they are with me, i won’t get so stressed out and have peace of mind. Thanks for the chance 🙂
The Oricom Tilt Camera is the best function as it means no more balancing acts with any toys I can find!
I love the quality.
I love the fact that the camera can pan so you can move the camera around to track your baby if she has moved. I love the talk back feature, the lullaby and night light features and the temperature feature. All the features are great and would give me peace of mind when checking on my baby. I wouldn’t have to get up as often to check on my baby due to the convenience of all the features. The size of the monitor is fantastic.
I love that you can talk back to the baby! but all the features are awesome
The infrared camera for night vision, makes it seem like I’m in Star wars or a spy movie
Loving the Infrared camera for night vision, no need to get out of bed or disturb bub, might even manage a good nights sleep, its been a long time since I’ve had one of those…
I love the infrared camera for night vision and digital zoom features. My son lost a son to S.I.D.S 16 years ago. He and his partner are expecting again, this would help give them some peace of mind when putting the new baby down. My son still suffers deeply from the loss of his son. I would love for him to have one of these.
So many features it’s hard to pick,
Seeing your baby on a monitor with just one click,
Soothing lullabies and the soft night light,
The Oricom Secure 850 got it right,
The parent talk back sounds so good,
Saves tip-toeing in watching where you stood,
A manoeuvrable camera would make it easy,
No more up and down trying to be sneaky.
The best feature is when they become a bit more active and you can use it to work out what the thumps, giggles and rattles are!
The motorised pan tilt. Excellent for quickly locating where the dummy has landed so we can tiptoe in and pop it back in the cot without waking her up.
I love that it has a large screen, dont want to have to squint to see it, just know that if i glance at it i have a clear view of what is going on. As mum of light sleepers hate going into their room, love that with the Oricon i dont have to.
The 2 way speaker is my favourite feature because I could calm and reassure my baby at ungodly hour awakenings by ‘Shhh shhh Shhhing’ through the monitor. No one wants to have to get up in the middle of winter or at 3 in the morning. This could be the most genius and practical feature in the history of baby monitors.
CONGRATS!! You have won.
I love the fact that the camera moves around silently. My baby and toddler share a room so that feature would help me keep track of both of my children while they sleep.
Talk Back feature..”your getting sleeeeepy…sleeeeeepy!” or if they are fully awake and i’m on my way i could sing them a funny song…so when i open their door its a smile waiting for me!
I’m liking the fact that u can add extra cameras to the unit, it saves having to move the babies unit everytime bub is put somewhere different. And the fact it plays tunes and has a night is an awesome bonus
I love the option of infra red camera for night vision. I need all the vision help I can get at the 1 and 5 am feeds and all her grumbles in between.
And it would save me going in to check on her unnecessarily…once she smells my milk it is all over 😛
So many fantastic features hiwever my favourite would be the display monitor, high quality and infrared camera. The fact you can visibly see your child without being in the room
The talk back feature, how fun it would be to have chats at 11pm, 12am,1am,2am,3am,4am in the comfort of my own bed……
i love the video monitor it would be a great addition to my very nervous new parent neighbours nursery
Awesome product wish we had this with our daughter then you no when they fit at night epilepsy is a night mare
I love the fact its fully motorised movement. I have used standard baby cams before and you can always see where you want to see without going in and checking on bubs, this way I can move a massive 300 degrees to see my precious bundle of joy is safe and sound.. This is comfort <3 knowing my baby is safe without interrupting her sleep. xx
