Practical Baby Monitor
VAVA offers portability and peace of mind with their Split View Baby Monitor and is a great option to those looking for a baby monitor with a camera option. The package comes with 2 720p HD cameras along with their power adapters, and a 5" screen baby monitor device and its' USB C charger. Everything that's needed to get the baby monitors up and working is included and the setup was extremely easy. There is no need to setup Wi-Fi as the cameras and baby monitor are on their own looped network although this also means you cannot view the cameras remotely or via your mobile device. I personally prefer this for privacy reasons. I connected the cameras and upon powering the baby monitor on, they seamlessly were connected to it. A great option this baby monitor offers is the option to add more cameras to your monitor system. Four cameras can be added in total, which means 2 more to the setup included in the box. One of the highlights of this monitor is the ability to be able to see both camera streams side by side (called split-screen), instead of only one at a time. You do have the option to choose whether to view one individual camera as well. The cameras themselves have the ability to zoom in and tilt vertically and horizontally and makes positioning it a much easier task. The video of the cameras was clean and I was able to see and listen to my children clearly. Something to note though is the picture is not as clear as a full 1080p HD video would be. I did not find this to be a great issue since I only use this to monitor my children's activity and sleep and do not need a great amount of detail in the picture. Additionally, the night vision the camera has is moderate. When the lights are off, you'll be able to see the spot the camera is pointing to directly (baby on the crib, child on the bed), but will not get much visual on the extreme left or right sides, unless you tilt the camera to that side or up or down. Other than the video, another thing I wanted to highlight was how easy the baby monitor is to use. Using the buttons to the right of the screen, you are able to view both cameras at one time or select one and view and control only that camera. Using the buttons, you can tilt the camera and also speak using the microphone on the baby monitor. The cameras have embedded speakers and will play the audio you speak while holding the audio button on the baby monitor. Even though this baby monitor works great, I did notice a few downsides. First, I would've liked to see support for full 1080p HD video. Although 720p is fine for most use cases, having a full HD picture would be nicer. Second, there isn't the ability to record video nor audio. Lastly, the baby monitors themselves are only functional via button clicks. It would be nice to have the option of touchscreen controls. Despite the cons, the fundamental functions of the baby monitor work flawlessly. Overall, the VAVA Baby Monitor with Split Screen technology is a great option for those looking for a video baby monitor. I can recommend them as the main functions perform extremely well and you will find it does not disappoint.

Best Baby Monitor I've Owned
Simply put, this is the BEST baby monitor I have owned. The monitor I was just using would constantly freeze or jam. This is excellent. I’ve used it for one week and can’t find any reason not to recommend it. The picture is clear and I don’t hear feedback from the other end. I’m only hearing noise when my daughter cries and my wife or I go in to check on her. I wish the volume can go slightly louder than it currently does, but this isn’t a deal breaker. Setup: Simple and quick. Charge your monitor for a few hours. Plug cameras into the wall and position. The cameras have an on/off switch, so make sure to have that “on” or “off”. I forgot to do this and was trying to trouble shoot why the camera wasn’t working. I had a good laugh when I found the on/off button on the bottom side of the camera. Efficiency: My old monitor had to be charged everyday and let’s face it, sometimes I’d forget. I’m happy to say I’ve averaged about 2+ days with the battery. My daughter is in bed from about 8pm-7am (camera not on the entire time). The battery life will differ on: how long you use it during the night and your brightness level. I tend to keep it at the darkest setting and use it for about 10 hours, so It’s provided just over 2 nights of use. I’m not sure how the battery will keep, but I’ll take this win if I have to charge it every 3 days. The strength of signal so far is great. Our daughter’s bedroom is on the 2nd floor and the signal is strong while my wife and I are downstairs. You can tell it's 720p. You'd hope for 4k at $250, but it's still really clear and crisp. I know some people have mentioned the kickstand to be a negative. I personally haven’t had an issue with it. I suppose the angle can be changed slightly so its more straight up, but I’m ok with it. It’s a split screen monitor. The neat thing is you can have both cameras active or use only one. If one of your kiddo’s stirs you can easily select that camera to zoom in and see if there’s something wrong. This is a really cool feature. If you only have one child, you can hook up one camera. Pros: Strong signal Two cameras Can talk into it Sturdy feel Large screen Zoom feature Yet to interfere with other devices Battery life is 2+ days Night vision more clear compared to other monitors Cons: Can be a tad louder Price is tad expensive Camera wall cord can be a little longer Overall: Excellent baby monitor. It’s a tad expensive, but you can’t argue with how well it’s worked. You pay for what you get and you need an efficient high-quality camera when it comes to your kiddos. I highly recommend this.
