VTech - Video Baby Monitor with Wi-Fi camera and 5" Screen - White

I had this thing working ALL DAY and suddenly I got the constant disconnect problems the 1 star reviews talked about. In anger I rebooted it multiple times, reconnected it multiple times, I even yelled at it to no avail when I noticed something. The power cable on the camera itself had came out JUST SLIGHTLY. I also remembered in the instructions they specifically had a part showing a pic of an incorrect plug vs. a correct plug, the only difference being that it's pushed in all the way in the correct one. On a hunch I checked my plug, and sure enough it had disconnected (probably from moving it angle wise a few times throughout the day) just enough to be loose, yet still provide power to the unit to some degree. Once clicked back in all the way it stopped flashing the LINK light at me every 3 seconds and was functioning again. Unbelievable, right?

Bought this monitor last night with mixed reviews since I seen so many bad reviews on other VTech monitors. I decided to take a leap of faith since I’ve had other VTech items that I loved and I’m so glad I did! I absolutely love this monitor there isn’t a thing about it that I’ve found that I don’t like. I would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a monitor to get this one!

Not bad for the price. There are definitely better options but they are way more expensive. The picture quality is mediocre and the monitor needs to be either plugged in all the time or can be used wirelessly but the battery drains quickly. The camera range is pretty good. On separate floors in a large house it still connects to the monitor.

I didn't expect the night video to be as clear as it was. The two way talk is a good feature but needs a little bit more work. I did have some connectivity issues but they were easily resolved. Overall a great product.

Very good value for this item. Didn't expect the video at night to be so clear. Able to use the app to see video remotely while out and about. Used it to confirm that there was no one in the room when our security system went off. It gave us addition view that the security cameras did not. The two way talk could be better but still pretty good for this price range. If using for a baby only, then it is not that big of a deal.

Great purchase. Set up was easy. I’ve done a lot of research on different monitors. My fiancé and I are happy with this purchase. We would recommend this to other parents.

We purchase this monitor to replace a previous monitor that our daughter smashed. :) It works well...picture is good quality. The battery doesn't last very long, and it takes a little while to boot up and connect to WIFI. Otherwise, it does what we need it to do. Good for the price.

Bought the WIFI variant, so that we can also view what the camera sees through our phones. Setup’s easy to follow through, but only on the 2.4GHz WIFI, not allowed for 5GHz. Camera and Main Unit comes with their own power units, but you can carry the Main Unit around wirelessly. Room temperature is also monitored, along with motion sensitivity (all can be turned on or off). Limited zoom and view options, and screen is not a touchscreen, so this might not suit the really tech savvy. VTech app seems to be outdated compared to other apps. Audio transfer to and from camera are delayed by at least 2secs (yes, you can use them as walkie-talkies). Battery’s not up to par with current tech’s standards, it barely lasts the night without plugging the unit. Overall, somewhat an okay buy. Security-wise, besides that they have an app, you don’t need to setup an account to use the WIFI feature it needs (ex. Nest requires an account and payment for the service for full features, correct me if I’m wrong). There are other ways to implement baby monitoring with video, like smart home cameras to connect your phones to (or a Nest Hub as Base Unit), but this is an okay choice for a dedicated baby monitor. I’d still recommend it to a friend, but would also present them other options to consider. Still using this, so it’s not really a loss, but a good help.
