Volume Level is Low
This monitor does work well for the price. Our one hiccup is the volume not being as loud as we need. To provide context, I will try to shower while the baby is napping and cannot hear the monitor over the shower. I have to constantly turn my head to look for the volume indicator lights to know if the baby is crying. Overall, the picture quality is good and the camera comes with decent features for the price, but we will be purchasing a different set up for baby #2 due to the quiet volume.

Best Monitor
I waited 9 months before writing this review. This monitor has exceeded my expectations.
This would have easily cost much more several years ago before Wi-Fi monitors hit the scene. I did not want a Wi-Fi monitor.
The V-tech is simple, easy to use with great quality. I’ve travelled with it and the set up is straight forward. If this monitor ends up breaking in the future I will buy this exact one again. The only thing I don’t love is the brightness. Even on the lowest setting the monitor is bright when turned on. I set the screen to be on black mode while I sleep but will the screen on to see the baby if I hear him.
Highly recommend as it gets the job done.

Buy it!
I bought this to replace our original (more expensive) monitor that broke after just a year and a half. That monitor was trash compared to this one, I had no idea what I was missing out on! The picture quality is AMAZING, sound quality is great, truly have no complaints with the functionality of this monitor. The ONLY complaint I have as it does take an annoyingly long time to turn on. The app on the phone is a lot quicker to display the picture than the unit itself and we primarily use our phones as the monitor so it’s not a huge deal for us.

Everything you need!
We had to get another monitor cause our other broke and this one was our next option. I have to say I do love it! The different settings for brightness is a lot better than our other one. I do wish it had more levels of the volume but it still works pretty great! The monitor works well in distance too! We will be outside while baby sleeps and it works like a charm. Highly recommend!

Alright Would Be Better If It Didn’t Shut Off While Using
The camera and monitor are of good quality, but the only downside is that while using it the monitor will go out and turn off which kind of defeats the purpose of watching the baby while you’re away in a different part of the house.

Nice!
Works as described! I’m happy with my purchase! So nice to be able to watch baby while I’m working elsewhere in my house or even in the yard.

The screen and camera itself were okay quality, but you have to leave the camera plugged in at all times for it to work which was not ideal. The zoom on it is also terrible, we had to put it almost to the ceiling to see the entire crib and once we put it up high enough, the cord was too short to reach any of the outlets. Would definitely not purchase again.
