Upgraded Baby Monitor with Rechargeable Battery, Long Range, Crystal-Clear Sound, and Alerts

Purchased to monitor elderly parent’s coughing from CHF during sleep. Works VERY well. Able to hear choking and respond timely.

I've been really happy with this set of one base station and two parent units. You get three AC adapters, one for the base (which cannot use batteries) and one for each parent unit. The sound is very clear, and there's no static thanks to it using a 6.0ghz DECT digital signal. The units will alert you if they lose connection with the base station so that you know you can't hear your baby. Very simple no-frills operation. That being said there are a couple of downsides: 1. The form factor is awful. The parent units being shaped like an egg, tip over very easily especially if they have the cord plugged into them. 2. The parent units each use two AAA batteries. When reading other reviews, I saw others complaining that they drain batteries very fast when unplugged. This is an under statement. It seems like 2-3 hours off the charger and the low battery light starts flashing and the unit beeps. I'm using 800mah Ni-MH rechargable batteries that I bought for these units. If I were using disposable batteries, I would be really upset with how fast they were being drained. But being prepared for this and having rechargeable its not a huge problem (just having to swap daily). The high frequency digital signal is nice because it would be extremely difficult if not impossible for someone to eavesdrop on the units with any type of consumer equipment, unlike the old analog monitors where you could tap in easily with a scanner. All in all a good unit, if you can overlook the terrible battery life and crappy form factor. I might try to order extra ac adapters for the spots that I move to around the house so I can rely on batteries less.

We have two of the single parent units and I wish we had found these originally. Haven’t tested the battery life, but the single units drain quickly. Currently none of our units have batteries as we just leave them plugged in. This makes things so easy though if you spend a lot of time in another room of your home you can keep one unit in your bedroom and the other unit in the frequently visited area of your home and easily hear the baby. My home is a ranch-style 2000+ sqft house and we have a monitor in our bedroom and another in the playroom that is just off the living room and kitchen. I have the volume set to the highest in the playroom so I can hear the baby over the sounds of washing dishes. In our bedroom I have it set to the lowest volume because our one month old is very loud and can easily be heard at that level. With our first two babies, they cried so quietly that we had the volume up higher and it was a few weeks before their little voices were this strong. With this unit, you don’t have to constantly unplug your primary bedroom unit and you can use the second one. If you choose not to use the second unit, it does not seem to affect anything to power it off. When we have guests in our playroom, I just unplug that second unit and have no issues.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This baby monitor is just what I needed for my grandkids’ rooms. I really like that it’s not Wi-Fi — just old-school audio, and it works perfectly. The sound is clear, and it’s super easy to use. It gives me peace of mind without the hassle of apps or internet connections. Great little monitor!

loved the vtech upgraded baby monitor because it has a wonderful monitor quality and durability. also it has a good functionally and brightness and an excellent long range as some features on it.

I was worried I would regret buying such a basic baby monitor. I am so glad I didn't waste my money on an expensive video monitor I didn't need. My baby is 7 months old now and we have used this monitor since she was born. This receivers are indestructible. I have dropped them off every surface in our house including down our wood stairs. They still look brand new and don't have a single scratch. The battery life is insanely long. I love having 2 receivers so my husband and I can both hear baby when we are in different rooms. They have clips on the back like walkie talkies so I can clip them to my clothes when I am walking around the house doing chores. The audio quality is great and I hear every noise baby makes! You won't regret this purchase!! Best value for your money hands down!

Works great when it’s set up! But if you unplug the receiver and plug it back in, make sure your babe isn’t asleep already! It likes to talk very loudly for quite a bit! I’ve also had it pick up on noises that aren’t actually there though too. Little creepy. Otherwise it sounds like you’re still in the room!

We have one of these on every floor of the house so we don’t have to shout. They seem to peter out every 3-4 years. Every time we replace them they are better quality every time. We’ve bought about 5 “versions” of this product. Highly recommend.

Worked for 3 days and stopped working !! I dont understand why its not working I have tried to contact the service email also tried to contact the company .. no response … I have used it for 2 nights in a row.. Not user friendly also the sound was very low .. I kept it charging for 3 nights still didn’t work .. I dont recommend it its waste of money ..

This is one of the worst products ever. I tried connecting it only today as I was not at home and as soon as I plugged it in, there was a short burst and smoke started coming out of the adapter. And since I am a day late, I'm unable to return it.

It didn’t work coz of the power issue

We purchased this item in late March. Within 2 months the batteries on both handheld units are garbage and they have to be plugged in at all times.

Opened box, and on day 1 the baby monitor unit is not turning on and not working. There is no warranty or support details as well. This is most expensive product in their category and disappointing to see this. 😥😥
