GO Scam launches lovely baby monitors at CES 2009

CES may be a mere footnote to January now, but as I dig through the pile of press releases I was excited to spot this lovely looking product. It’s a portable baby monitor, disguised as a daisy! So apart from the serious cuteness factor, is it a workable piece of kit? I’ve looked at the specs, and I have to give it resounding thumbs up.

The camera is concealed within the flowers petals, and has a 330 foot wireless transmission range. There’s a built in mic for audio recording and feedback, it switches to night vision mode in low light settings, and it can also double as a night light by soft touching the petals.

You can view all the action on the 2.5 inch TFT colour LCD screen, and the viewer is wireless as well- powered by a rechargeable Li-on battery. It has four channels to work with, to avoid interference with other frequency devices and weighs in at 160g. I have to say I’m impressed, but the all important pricepoint is still missing, and that would be the deciding factor.
