[Upgraded] VTech VM919HD Video Monitor with Battery Support 15-hr Video Streaming, 7″ 720p HD Display,360 Panoramic Viewing, 110 Wide-Angle View,HD…

Pros: Easy setup, no wifi connection so no worries about hacking. Picture is clear MOST of the time.

Cons: handheld monitor needs to be plugged in often as it does not have a good battery life. Also it is VERY sensitive to sound and there is a lot of feedback.

Used it for less than 1 month and already the sound is wonky- sound is broken. It sounds like a broken record when someone is talking/ or baby crying in the room. Can’t make out anything they are saying. The camera itself has a weird ticking sound every 10 seconds or so which can disturb the child’s sleep. So we had to move it 2 meters away from the bed to minimize the noise. Very disappointed in such an expensive device. I would buy a cheaper brand for the same quality.

The audio of the monitor stopped working after 4 months of use randomly!
Called customer support and they mentioned they’ll send a replacement unit after acknowledging the issue and the team sent a new monitor promptly

After buying hundreds of clothes, toys, gadgets, etc. the first few years with our toddler- this product BY FAR is the best we have purchased. We have had very simple to complex monitors over the past 2 years (audio only V tech all the way up to Owl camera), this by far is the best made, most user friendly and the best screen display and usability. The screen itself is huge. Whenever our friends come over they are shocked by the comparison. The camera can also be moved, rotated and zoomed via the controls of the parents monitor.

We had the previous model which got lost on a flight sadly. The new model is slightly more esthetically pleasing with a faux bamboo looking camera as opposed to the original plain white. It’s cute and looks well made. It also comes with a wall hook if you are planning to mount it above baby’s bed. We travel often so have never used this feature. The monitor also has a built in sound machine with a handful of lullabies, white noise, crickets, etc. which is nice if you are toting this around and don’t want to bring a ton of gear.

When I went to set up our new model it required LITERALLY no set up. All I did was press the ON button and it automatically found the camera- no button pushing, syncing, linking, imputing wireless, etc. The monitor has never had issues finding connection, even when visiting my parents who have really questionable service. It also has an “antenna” (not the kind your thinking of, but a small white extension) for extra power if you have a big house or have trouble with WIFI.

And there you have it. You’re welcome.

No camera lights!!! (It goes off right after activation) I absolutely love this monitor! We have it in our bedroom and it’s mostly in a corner on a dresser it matches in style of wood- it matches the room and feels soft (as elegant as it might try to be- it actually does have style better than others!) I have used this for weeks now, and I could return it for a 4 camera system I am keeping around the house, which has a smaller more pocket friendly display (5”). This is so much bigger. It’s not too hard to carry, but I will be finding a small bag to protect it soon, mostly I kickstand it on the counter of kitchen to clean, and side table to watch movies at night. If I have to go declutter/tidy many rooms and do laundry, it gets a little harder to carry. I love love how easy and clear it is to see and hear Littles (which share a bedroom) at night on a great display, so it’s really won me on that. I can glance and it’s just a really good quality to be extra quick on getting reassurance it’s all good. There is a lot to love about this monitor, but it’s limited to one room/one camera… shrug, if it suits your space for that- I highly recommend this one. No camera lights are important, and also watch out for the battery life and this one has been just fine for these few weeks.

We had the owlet system for our child when he was a baby. The camera was crap. This thing unless the power goes out works like a charm. No relying on spotty wifi like other systems. You can talk to your child through the camera. The night vision is good, it has songs and sounds built in with a timer, alerts get your attention. Though I miss being able to check in on my child if I’m away and he’s asleep, I think everything else makes this one of the best for a baby cameras for the cost if you don’t want to stress with the WiFi.
