@mediocrebot Please stop selling things with less than 4 stars in customer reviews. 2 or 3 stars mean 50% of the human race could not make it work, so 100% of VMPs will return it.
@RedOak It would be stupid, but anyone who can afford the postage, and knows the address, can send stuff back to Meh. Without approval from customer service, this is more work, and much more expensive than just throwing the unwanted item away, but otherwise leads to the same results.
Customer service won't help with buyer's remorse. They will help (but very slowly) with issues regarding defective merchandise. If the product didn't sell out, they will probably just send replacement crappy cameras. Don't even think about lying about one being broken in a lame attempt to get refund.
@Yakuman Are you complaining about the term shittiest? Let me put it to you this way. My phone will not recognize asshole, shit, cock, fuck, or penis. They must be manually entered. I can swipe out shittiest with no issues. Ergo, not a swear word.
@Yakuman This is Meh - seller of one deeply-discounted shitty product per day and perpetual lower-er of expectations. For "professional" you gotta pay full price.
@Yakuman Seriously? You must not have read the Groupon/Cobra Joyride write-up, or the "colorful" comments that followed... This one still makes me laugh....
@Yakuman They don't use it often at all. For instance, tomorrow's product, the Taint Sweat Air Freshener, has the perfectly decent slogan "Put a Pine Tree Down Your Pants." Clean as a whistle. (Maybe not a meat whistle.)
@Yakuman I'm with you on this. I come to Meh.com specifically for the level of professionalism befitting the high caliber of products they offer, product I will undoubtedly show to my stodgy employers and humorless friends and family. I don't want any of them to think I read filthy language on the Internet if I can help it. No one will not laugh at any of the non-funny things that I'll show great restraint in not sharing with them if they think I'm the kind of person who likes words like that. This was really poopy of you, Meh.com! Really poopy.
@wew i don't know why that rant cracks me up so much, but every time I think about it I can't help from (literally) laughing out loud (for lack of a better phrase)...
@givemeyoursoul What's the difference between a cat and a complex sentance? One has claws at the end if its paws, the other a pause at the end of its clause.
So...technically I could work this up to have the music playing from my phone be heard through the speaker in the camera...it's a fuckin' speaker dock in disguise!!
@Marble68 I bought those and I love them, but they were Emerson BTW. If they come up again, buy 'em. I know Meh has some lying around since they didn't sell out. But alas twofers are for Tuesday...
I keep thinking that I should get one to use as an outdoor security camera... and knowing that I can play lullabies for any of my outdoor visitors makes that idea all the more tempting.
I'm sure I'm just overlooking it, but it doesn't seem to mention the camera resolution or frame rate anywhere?
Also doesn't mention the power of the IR LED's (usually quantified in terms of feet or meters of illumination, or if it has an IR cut filter. For that matter, doesn't even say if it's color or B&W.
So I went to Amazon to look at the reviews and I noticed that someone compared it to the Louis C.K. Joke as well. I figured some guy just ripped meh off and posted a review, until I saw the date! April 2013. First I thought, man this camera is old! But after, I was pissed that meh is plagiarizing plagiarized content! Stay classy MEH! Don't rip off crappy Amazon reviews. Thanks for the outside speakers by the way and the fingernail clippers.
@patrickgill4 "plagiarizing" - you keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means. Do you care to point out any actual plagiarizing or are you content to make baseless accusations that make you look like an idiot?
You take the Internet way too seriously. By the way, the princess bride meme is no longer in style... But it is probably fitting since your wife looks like the giant. "Anybody want a peanut"
As these have two way communication I highly recommend not sharing that little fact with your significant other. At an opportune moment (he/she is home alone watching a scary movie), use an app to speak to them, preferably in the tone of their dearly departed grandmother.
For the same price the foscam has all the same features except the lullabys. And there are many apps for foscam, so you aren't stuck with the manufacturer's app. Spend your $60 on a foscam. Meh
This was given to use as a baby gift 1.2 years ago. It works.....but the footage is super choppy. Sure you can take a picture but you'll NEVER want to use the picture for anything. It was nice to be able to hear what's going on in the babies (twins) room but the video was really bad. $60 is probably the most this is worth......I'm willing to be that the cheaper cameras are just as good.
anyone know if this would work with something like IP Cam Viewer Pro instead of the manufacturer's app? if meh wants to send me one, I'd be happy to test it out.
I got excited for a nanosecond thinking they brought back the $18 IP cameras. Alas, it was not so. $60 is too much for a non-baby household like mine. I like spying on the dog as much as the next mehzien, but for that money, I'll just find the crap when I get home like a neanderthal.
I want the stuffed bear, Meh. Does it come equipped with a docking jack so I can use it to play music from my smartphone? It'd be the Teddy Ruxpin for the 21st century.
Did anybody else buy this POC and get no help from Meh CS when reporting it didn't work as sold? I want to return it because it, well, sucks. Terribly. MEH blamed it on the app, and told me to go to Motorola. So I reported they suck on Itunes. Buuuuutttt...the lack of customer service from Meh and willingness to take it back because it sucks is equally sucky.
A: If it's damaged, defective, or just DOA, we'll either refund or replace it at our discretion. Just fill out our support form and tell us all about it.
We DO NOT accept returns if you just decided you didn't want it, don't like the color, or just feeling a little buyer's remorse. You might try eBay - with as cheap as you probably got it, you could even end up making a little off it. Or hone your reputation for generosity by giving it to someone a little less picky.

@mediocrebot Wtf I wanted a dock. Damn kids stay off of my lawn.
@mediocrebot At least its not a speaker dock.
@mediocrebot Please stop selling things with less than 4 stars in customer reviews. 2 or 3 stars mean 50% of the human race could not make it work, so 100% of VMPs will return it.
Instead, put these in fuku, and the bots will buy them to replace their eyes.
Sorry, I don't mean you. You are too mediocre to install these, just like those average humans.
@mediocrelab "so 100% of VMPs will return it"... VMP's can return stuff?
@mediocrebot everyone! Get a life!
@RedOak It would be stupid, but anyone who can afford the postage, and knows the address, can send stuff back to Meh. Without approval from customer service, this is more work, and much more expensive than just throwing the unwanted item away, but otherwise leads to the same results.

meh.. whyy??!? bring back more awesome things
WATCH IRK DREAM FROM ANYWHERE
I don't have kids, I AM a kid!
@axleman1011 We can tell by your comma splice.
@rayray8822
Frankly, my dear, I dont give, a, damn,,
I'm going to start a policy of ignoring all products where there is foul language in the marketing copy. Be professional.
@Yakuman Fucking do it, that'll learn them. Or consider the fact that they are just words.
@Yakuman Are you complaining about the term shittiest? Let me put it to you this way. My phone will not recognize asshole, shit, cock, fuck, or penis. They must be manually entered. I can swipe out shittiest with no issues. Ergo, not a swear word.
@givemeyoursoul oh my fucking god, I can't believe you just said shit. What the fuck is the matter with you, this is a family place god damnit!
@Yakuman Half the fun of meh is that it's only professional when it matters (like non-bullshit customer service issues).
@givemeyoursoul My phone let's me swipe shoryuken. I love my phone
@Yakuman Let's see if we can get that stick out of your ass
@Yakuman This is Meh - seller of one deeply-discounted shitty product per day and perpetual lower-er of expectations.
For "professional" you gotta pay full price.
@Yakuman Seriously? You must not have read the Groupon/Cobra Joyride write-up, or the "colorful" comments that followed... This one still makes me laugh....
https://meh.com/forum/topics/cobra-joyride-smart-charger#54b156e66b74fb00060dbfcd
@Yakuman I'll join your movement.
@billymayfield Are you sure it didn't learn that from you typing it? It seeks an odd thing to be able to swipe.
@phatmass this topic is giving me a movement.
@givemeyoursoul You caught me, and it's actually SHoRYuKEN that it swipes. Don't ask me why I've manually typed that... I'd prefer not to elaborate
@Yakuman They don't use it often at all. For instance, tomorrow's product, the Taint Sweat Air Freshener, has the perfectly decent slogan "Put a Pine Tree Down Your Pants." Clean as a whistle. (Maybe not a meat whistle.)
@phatmass ... Wait, what? Your username is a pun on "ass".
@Yakuman I'm with you on this.

This was really poopy of you, Meh.com! Really poopy.
@studerc Not to change the subject, but what's with the mystery k badge. I keep feeling like I came too late to the party.
@smoo99 Kickstarter badge from being a part of the original kickstarter.
@smoo99 so "too late to the party" is an apt description for us. :D
@Yakuman you should probably go ahead and cancel your VMP membership then.
@editorkid well played
@studerc Kickstarter badge? Hey... i got one of those!
@wildmomo thanks. I'm enjoying that rant. I would have bought that thing too.
@givemeyoursoul I just want to know who the 7 Puritans are who starred the post. They all need ass-stickectomys
@wew i don't know why that rant cracks me up so much, but every time I think about it I can't help from (literally) laughing out loud (for lack of a better phrase)...
Time to make some amateur porn baby!
Not porn WITH babies, you sick fuckers.
@givemeyoursoul Commas are your friends!
@primrosewater Commas save lives.
@givemeyoursoul What's the difference between a cat and a complex sentance? One has claws at the end if its paws, the other a pause at the end of its clause.
@mcanavino What is the difference between a sentence and a sentance? One is a real word, and one is what you typed.
@givemeyoursoul
@bakeyoural Commas keep the FBI from kicking in your front door.
reviews are very mediocre...meh
Wifi cameras rock. I'm monitoring my baby right now on a Foscam
"Say hi to Rocco!"
Baby monitors are dumb.
Your camgirl porncam suddenly turned into a baby monitor? What a world we live in!
rare time I am here right when new item goes up.
not so rare time when I shrug & go to bed.
Meh. Also, fuck.
Let's do the walkie talkies again.
@camille Speaker docks?
@smoo99 ironically, I was looking forward to SDF for the first time, after pricing portable speakers on Amazon this week.
Terminator teddy.
Strap one of these onto a rocking crib... INSTANT GoPro Baby Edition
I am surprised this isn't baby arm compatible. And where are the speaker docks? Isn't it Friday?
I can use this to keep an eye on all my speaker docks at night. After I've tucked them into bed with their neoprene sleeve blankets.
So...technically I could work this up to have the music playing from my phone be heard through the speaker in the camera...it's a fuckin' speaker dock in disguise!!
Anyone know what the resolution is?
@cengland0 meh*meh
@cengland0 looks like 640x480
@cengland0 probably at least 307200 pixels
@djslack Thanks. That means it's a no-go for me. Prefer at least 720p
How about some more two for one refurbished element HDTVs or something.
@Marble68 I bought those and I love them, but they were Emerson BTW. If they come up again, buy 'em. I know Meh has some lying around since they didn't sell out. But alas twofers are for Tuesday...
fucking meh.
I keep thinking that I should get one to use as an outdoor security camera... and knowing that I can play lullabies for any of my outdoor visitors makes that idea all the more tempting.
I think if the resolution was anything over 320x something they'd say so - maybe 640x480? you know it's not 720p or it'd be on the box.
@Marble68 yeah i might be interested if its more than that but if not, meh
Thanks meh.
aha:
Video Formats: Motion JPEG
Maximum Video Resolution: 624 x 480

@Marble68 Oh, that is horrible.
@Marble68 Daaaang. That is actually worse than my first digicam. Thanks for saving me the time to look it up.
Wow. Illinois showing up for the security.. eh hem... baby monitors.
@bakeyoural I live in Springfield, IL and I considered one. Chicago is a mess. I don't blame them.
@bakeyoural We also like knives. I too am in Springfield!
Painting gag from Scooby Doo?
Can I use this to make some weird new genre of porn like grainy house wife fucked by hot stranger porn?
leave the granny alone
@jjohns71 http://xkcd.com/598/
I'm sure I'm just overlooking it, but it doesn't seem to mention the camera resolution or frame rate anywhere?
Also doesn't mention the power of the IR LED's (usually quantified in terms of feet or meters of illumination, or if it has an IR cut filter. For that matter, doesn't even say if it's color or B&W.
Anyone? Bueller?
@ruouttaurmind 640x480 25fps is what I've seen from a quick search.
...polyphonic lullabies?
Like this?
@djslack Are they the only band with more members than The New Pornographers?
Holy crap, that is one creepy bear.
@belowi I like to think of him as 'Steve Austin Bear.' (The bionic guy, not the wrestler.)
Foscam FI8910W can be had at this price everyday and have better reviews, better night vision, and build quality.
Didn't we just do the Foscam wifi cam a few weeks ago and for half the price? I hate reruns dammit!
I want exciting and new...all aboard they're expecting you!!! The Meh Boat
So I went to Amazon to look at the reviews and I noticed that someone compared it to the Louis C.K. Joke as well. I figured some guy just ripped meh off and posted a review, until I saw the date!

I think DLink cams are better. I have a couple. It's easy to set up. Sell those I'll buy!
You cocksuckers have done it again!
I really want to buy one of these from you Meh, but you have to offer a good one! Don't give us the same crap Woot would offer...
As these have two way communication I highly recommend not sharing that little fact with your significant other. At an opportune moment (he/she is home alone watching a scary movie), use an app to speak to them, preferably in the tone of their dearly departed grandmother.
For the same price the foscam has all the same features except the lullabys. And there are many apps for foscam, so you aren't stuck with the manufacturer's app. Spend your $60 on a foscam. Meh
On the bright side, it won't be sold out for the east coasters when they get home from brunch.
@sjk3 On the negative side, it won't be sold out at all and we'll keep seeing these fucking things.
@Cinoclav I blame the East Coast, especially New England.
@nadroj Yeah, at least I can't blame my Pennsylvania home. Looks like once again the Penn State students are supporting meh.
This was given to use as a baby gift 1.2 years ago. It works.....but the footage is super choppy. Sure you can take a picture but you'll NEVER want to use the picture for anything.

Just because...
@Cinoclav I don't know, I think flying spiders would pre pretty damn awesome.
anyone know if this would work with something like IP Cam Viewer Pro instead of the manufacturer's app? if meh wants to send me one, I'd be happy to test it out.
@carl669 meh would love to send you one. Perhaps even four.
@carl669 That's the app I use too and I do not see it in their compatibility list. http://hit-mob.com/ip-cam-viewer-android/device-support-list/
@cengland0 well dammit. at $60, it's too much of a gamble.
I got excited for a nanosecond thinking they brought back the $18 IP cameras. Alas, it was not so. $60 is too much for a non-baby household like mine. I like spying on the dog as much as the next mehzien, but for that money, I'll just find the crap when I get home like a neanderthal.
I want the stuffed bear, Meh. Does it come equipped with a docking jack so I can use it to play music from my smartphone? It'd be the Teddy Ruxpin for the 21st century.
Bath
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
This was impossible to set up using a lollipop device. Had to use a 4.2.2 android to set up properly.
@stupidrobot Impossible to setup on ios 8. At least you got it to work on android. Doh.
Did anybody else buy this POC and get no help from Meh CS when reporting it didn't work as sold? I want to return it because it, well, sucks. Terribly. MEH blamed it on the app, and told me to go to Motorola. So I reported they suck on Itunes. Buuuuutttt...the lack of customer service from Meh and willingness to take it back because it sucks is equally sucky.
