    Customers say

    Customers find the baby monitor's picture quality surprisingly clear and appreciate its ease of use, noting it's super easy to use and set up. Moreover, they consider it good value for money, with one customer mentioning it's particularly suitable for travel. However, the functionality, sound quality, and battery life receive mixed reviews - while some say it works well, others report it stops working, and while the sound is good, the lowest volume setting is very loud. Additionally, the monitor's quality receives mixed feedback, with some praising its reliability while others find it not very good.

    This baby monitor works so well! Doesn’t run off of WiFi which is great if it’s ever down. It is a great value and the camera quality is really good I am able to tell if the baby’s chest is moving up and down. Easy to just unplug it and move it to where ever you have your baby sleeping too. Range is pretty good too I can walk outside to get my mail or grab something from the shed and not have the camera cut out. Can see the battery life, range, and temp right in the display. Buttons are really easy and self explanatory.

      I've had a few baby monitors and this is the cheapest one I've bought. It's also my favorite. It has decent reach, and it's super simple to use. Great night vision, tells you about temperature in baby's room and also has an alarm that shows you there's noise in case you leave it on mute. Obviously, the fact that it does not require wi-fi is a great asset. We often take it when we travel or when we go visit friends and family, it's small and lightweight. This will certainly solve all your problems without overspending.

      Style: 2.8" fixed camVerified Purchase
      The VM819 model has surprisingly poor range, with audio cutting in and out for seconds at a time just a short distance away. The PTZ version (VM923), on the other hand, has outstanding range thanks to external antennas on each end, better than anything else I've tested. (Though the PTZ camera is larger, in case that's a consideration.) Any successor to the VM819 really should adopt the external antennas of the VM923.

      Unfortunately, the parent unit for the VM923 (not interchangeable with the VM819's) allows only panning with the hard buttons, requiring a trip through the (very slow) menu to adjust the volume. (In contrast, the VM819 uses the hard buttons for volume and brightness.) This really should have been configurable on the VM923 parent unit.

      This was the deal-breaker for me, since I nearly never need to aim the camera and frequently need to adjust the volume (and I need better range than the VM819). I ended up going with the Babysense V24R, with sensible button layout and excellent range (somewhat less than the VM923, but far better than VM819), and a more compact parent unit.

      Both the VM819 and VM923 have a non-replaceable battery in the parent unit and have an extremely slow UI, taking several seconds to toggle the display off to monitor audio only. (This made adjusting volume on the VM923 even worse.) Also, as others have noted, the alert tone when the parent unit loses signal is *extremely* loud, no matter your selected volume. These are all better on the V24R.

      That said, when in range, the VM819 and VM923 video and audio are fine, and the camera and display both work well.

      The media could not be loaded.
      We ordered and returned SO MANY monitors before getting this one. I really love this monitor, it's so nice and small that it fits perfectly in my pocket (most other ones are just so massive). We've had no problem seeing everything we need to on such a "small" screen. The range is incredible, we've gotten it to reach way further than the marketed range.

      We would have preferred a split screen, but they just don't make them with the volume customization that we were looking for... let me explain.

      Here is how the volume control on this two camera model (vtech VM923-2) works. If only camera one is selected, volume can be turned off or on for that camera. If only camera two is selected, volume can be turned off or on for that camera. If the rotating mode where it displays camera one for ten seconds, then camera two for ten seconds, is turned on you cannot control the volume of each camera individually. Either volume from both is turned on or volume from both is turned off. You cannot have it on rotating camera mode and have camera one on volume level five and camera two on volume level one. They have to be at the same volume level on rotating mode. You also cannot have it on the rotating mode and have volume from camera one on and volume from camera two off. Either both cameras volume is on or both off (on rotating mode).

      If during the night you have it on rotating camera mode, let's say your child in the room with camera one starts crying. There could be up to a ten second delay in you hearing it through the monitor since it is switching between the two. Again hopefully that makes sense. We have had no issue with this functionality at all, we really love how it works.

      One other small note, as you're selecting options on the menu, the monitor makes a "confirmation noise". It cannot be turned down or turned off. So if you go to change something during the night be prepared to hear that each time.

      Apparently I'm very passionate about this, considering I just wrote a novel, but I just read so many reviews for so many monitors while we were shopping for one and no one would explain how volume on a two camera monitor works. So hopefully I've helped someone out there who was like me!

      I bought this to keep an eye on my elderly father at night. It is wonderful. The camera quality is excellent, the sound is clear and it was very easy to set up. Well worth the money!

      Would not recommend.
      I have heard good reviews on vtech monitors however I am very disappointed in this product.
      One of the cameras is extremely blurry (see photo). You also cannot pan from the monitor, you have to manually move the camera. As seen in the photo we are unable to view the whole crib with the camera mounted as high as possible, and we can’t pan to see the very top or bottom of the crib.
