VTech Smart WiFi Baby Monitor – See Your Baby at Home or from Anywhere, Free App, 1080p Camera, 5" Screen, Pan-Tilt-Zoom, Night Vision, Two-Way Talk | VM901

**Update 11/2/25 After reaching out to the company they are sending me a replacement at no cost! So due to that I am giving them the rating I believe they deserve for taking care of their customers.** I bought this monitor and camera set 6 months ago based on the good reviews. This is a fairly pricy set and today my monitor totally crashed. It just had a software update about a week ago. Now without WiFi it’s totally useless. I am very upset and of course the return window is already over. I recommend this set to all 5 of my sisters in law 3 of which are looking for a good monitor set. I will be telling them not to bother and I hope this review helps others as well. I am really upset about this happening because before this I really loved this setup.

I scoured the market for a baby monitor for my twins. I could not find a monitor with two cameras, wi-Fi capability and good reviews. I finally decided to just go for a wide, angled single camera and saw this had good reviews so we bought it. Honestly, there’s really no downfall to this camera. We have loved it and it has been perfect for us. The clarity is good enough for what we need. It has night vision and you can zoom in on each baby. We love the feature for sound detection. Our babies were very noisy sleeper so we would turn the volume off and just have the sound detection on so that we wouldn’t hear every single noise and we could get a little bit of sleep I love being able to check in if I’m not home or if I don’t have the monitor right in front of me, the app is easy to use. If I had to give it down fall, probably the only thing I don’t like is that the app does not record for longer than a few seconds and you it refreshes after several captures so you can’t go too far back and you can’t save anything .

So far this has worked great. Straight out of the box, plugged in camera and monitor and they synced automatically. I haven’t installed the app on my phone yet so I speak to that. Also to early to speak of the battery life, but as long as you have both units are plugged in this shouldn’t be a problem. Picture quality is good, the camera is PTZ ( pan, tilt, zoom) and the audio quality is great. I bought this for elderly care so I don’t really care about the music option it has. I hope the app works well on my phone, even without knowing that I’m rating it a five star. This is probably the best baby/elderly monitor out at this time.

I purchased the VTech VM901-2HD because the Amazon listing described it as a Wi-Fi baby monitor. However, the unit I received does not support Wi-Fi. It only works through a direct RF connection between the parent unit and the cameras, which was very disappointing since Wi-Fi capability was one of the main reasons I chose this model. I also noticed that this version is different from the original VM901 (single-camera version) that I purchased about two years ago. That model had a threaded mounting insert on the bottom of the parent unit, while this one does not, making it impossible to mount it the same way. To make matters worse, after only about 6 months of actual use (9 months since purchase), the parent unit completely failed. It no longer displays the VTech startup logo and only shows a dark screen with horizontal and vertical lines, making the monitor unusable. Overall, I’m very disappointed with the quality and consistency of this product. I expected much better durability and a product that matched the advertised features.

Overall we love this baby camera and would definitely recommend it. We’ve used it daily for naps and overnight monitoring. The setup was very simple and the guide walked us through everything clearly. The video quality is great and the security feature is something we really appreciate. Each app user has to be approved by scanning from the parent monitor, which adds extra peace of mind. It’s also great for travel. There aren’t a lot of pieces to pack, and the parent monitor works without needing WiFi thanks to the offline connection option. Initially the parent monitor battery lasted most of the day if the always-on display was turned off and the screen only woke for motion or sound. However, after about 6 months it stopped holding a charge and now has to stay plugged in. My only other minor note is the built-in music. It works fine, but the tones are a bit higher pitched than I prefer, so I tend to use my own music instead.

If you want a camera to take care of your baby, this is the best one.

Best monitor on the market. I have had others, and none of them work as well. This one is great because you can move the position of the camera. It offers other options that most monitors don't. This is our second one because we now need 2 cameras. I wouldn't buy any other brand. You won't regret it.

At the year mark, just past the warranty deadline the monitor started having a battery issue. It would only work if plugged in constantly. Additionally, there are so many connection issues. The screen goes blue and won’t connect to the camera, even when the camera is on and the unit is plugged in and the WiFi is strong. I would toggle the connection settings and sometimes it would pop on and sometimes not. I found that if I unplugged the cord from the camera EVERY time I used it, it would usually work, but not always. Sometimes I’d have to risk sneaking it to unplug it mid-nap. Also, it should be said — we keep our monitor nice & don’t let our baby (now toddler) play with it or really touch it. Even with that it has been so spotty & glitchy. Eventually I decided to rip into the monitor, even though after writing vtech support they say there isn’t anything that can be done & the monitor unit isn’t made to be opened. They just said to buy a new one (not going to buy another one of these, that’s for sure!) I found a YouTube video showing how to open the monitor up because of the same issues (with a butter knife wedged in on the sides to unclick 3 latches and a screwdriver). The cord hooking into the battery was loose — easy fix I thought. It worked for a month, then same issue. Also doesn’t fix the connectivity issue, only the battery issue. Every month I’ve got to open this monitor to make it be functional again. Also, the battery started swelling after about 2 years and so I had to unscrew some components from inside the monitor so that it’s not pressing on the puffy battery and the monitor will work (most of the time) that way. There’s a hole in the back of the monitor and no stand, but at least we can still make it work (picture). All in all, yes. We can watch our baby nap and sleep… at least in the time it takes for the monitor to run out of battery (20 min) he usually falls asleep. But this has been a major pain. We’re going to have to buy a new monitor for our second child, and next time we’re getting a nicer one for sure. This will limp you along for one kid though…

Ainda está em avaliação, pois não comecei a usar ainda, pois minha bebê ainda não nasceu, mas de primeira impressão gostei muito! Tem várias funcionalidades interessantes como músicas, avisa em caso de mudanças de temperaturas, possibilidade de falar, maior ou menor sensibilidade a barulhos e movimentos. Me parece muito boa e funcional. Precisa estar conectada a tomada tanto a câmera quanto o monitor e a vantagem é ser bivolt. Apesar de o conector de tomada ser da Inglaterra facilmente consegui ligar com um adaptador universal. Espero continuar gostando.

Excelente calidad del monitor y la cámara. Resolución e imagen perfecta. Muy recomendado. Se conecta con mucha facilidad a la cámara, no hay problema de conectividad.

Works as expected with one missing feature.. the camera unit always has to be plugged in with charger .. and doesn’t have a battery backup so cannot be placed anywhere.

I should have listened to the other reviews. The camera doesn’t connect to the wifi network and connection to the monitor is shaky. In the first week of use, the monitor lost connection with the camera and we had to restart the camera to get it back working properly. I can’t believe this is an Amazon’s choice product. It’s a great concept but a real peace of junk.

We bought this a year ago for £69. It’s now more than double!! I would not recommend this product even for £69, the picture quality/quality of the screen has completely deteriorated, the sound is okay but the connection to either the monitor or the app is very hit and miss, and only deteriorates over time as the aerial slowly breaks
