VM85 Connect 5" Video Baby Monitor
Overview
Description
Here’s a reliable way to stay connected at home and on the go. You can monitor baby and control the camera functions on the 5” parent unit display or stream from anywhere in the world via the Motorola Nursery app. Choose the option with one camera or two.
Remote pan scan and digital tilt allow you to view the entire room and also zoom in to get a close-up of your little one. Night vision gives a clear view of baby, day and night, while the room temperature sensor ensures the nursery is always comfortable.
Another feature parents appreciate: two-way talk lets you talk to and hear baby. Calm and soothe with preloaded lullabies and even create your own recording through the app.

Q&A
The Motorola VM85 Connect allows monitoring cameras in different households through the Motorola Nursery app over Wi-Fi, while the parent unit requires all cameras to be on the same local network.
The Connect models can be paired to an app on your phone, and you can record video (ut you'll have to record is manually). On their own, the devices will only record short clips of "events" - when movement or sounds are detected.
Yes, this monitor has an LED sound level indicator.
The VM85 Connect strikes a balance between price, screen size, and advanced features like remote pan, tilt, and zoom, while providing dual connectivity via the parent unit and the Hubble app. Higher-end models may offer more sophisticated features, while more budget-friendly models may have fewer capabilities.
The Motorola VM85 Connect app is free and includes room temperature monitoring with alerts. Some extra features may require a subscription.
You don't have to use to the same WiFi connection to view on your phone. If you're outside the 1,000-ft range, just install the app and make sure to connect the baby unit to a WiFi network.
You can't buy an additional monitor (parent unit) but you can add an additional camera (baby unit). This offers a split screen feature so you can view two cameras/babies at once.
You can! You can use split-screen viewing.
It sure can! You'll need to install the app first and connect the baby unit to a WiFi network.
This monitor and parent unit can work with or without WIFI. In order to use the app or view the stream from any device, it will need to be connected to WIFI.
Customer reviews
Very slow and on top of that looks like it is non-returnable.
When the camera works it is slow, and has a lot of lag. It also turns on every time you plug it in to charge it which is annoying. If I had a working camera I could review it better.
Our daughter was born 4 months after we received this gift so we didn’t try to return it through Babylist.
