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.

Ditch the pricy cameras for this one! Sooo nice to have both kids on one screen. We got rid of our eufy camera for this. I love the app accessibility. People say the volume is distorted but I think it’s fine. I wish I bought sooner

Great baby cam, this is my third. You can do patrol mode to switch between rooms, or manually switch. The app is also great and it’s free. The app allows you to see movement history so I easily know when my baby woke up from his last nap which helps with his nap schedule & sleepy cues. The box includes two wall mounts which are great too.

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.

I didn't think I would need to buy a baby monitor since we live in an apartment and can hear our kids easily. However, this became an urgent purchase during sleep training - another thing I didn't expect to do but here I was, after 4 months of sleep regression, in dire need for an improvement. This device was a savior ! The setup is easy, image quality is really good. We typically don't use the motion or sound detection but we've enabled them temporarily to test and they work (but it results in a lot of notifications in the app). This is really a useful accessory to understanding baby sleep habits : it helped us see that no sound coming from the bedroom did not mean baby was asleep. We've also found it useful when traveling to places where the sleeping space is farther and you would not necessarily hear your baby cry. The negative points for us: - the wifi key you can enter is short and our wifi password is very long because it's more secure. That was almost a deal breaker, as wifi connection is required to use the phone features and for better connectivity. We found a solution thankfully, without changing our wifi password because that was a no-go for us. - reaching out to customer service about the above point, was a very disappointing experience: long delay, useless answer - as mentioned by others, battery life of the monitor is somewhat short. Phone app complements it though, if the monitor is charging far from you. - cannot adjust the volume of music and white noise sounds that the camera can make. We typically use Alexa for it but when travelling it's nice to have the sounds without an extra device - however the volume is low. I would recommend this reasonably priced device - and we also got a compatible floor stand holder which allows to position it well in our bedroom. I would not put it on the crib rail even if it's a proposed option.

We have two of these and they're great. The first one is about 3.5 years old and the second almost 2 years old. Both are working fantastic still. I love all of the settings including the motion detection and temperature notification. You can set it so if the babies room gets too hot or to cold it will alert you. The option to connect with our phones is also a great feature. If we are gone and are missing the kids we can just check in on them when we want. You can control everything from your phone, or the monitor itself. The battery life for the monitors does decrease after a while, but with the option to use our phones that doesn't bother us much. The picture quality and sound quality are awesome. I also like to be able to talk to them from my phone or monitor. If I'm away and I see them getting ready for bed I can talk to them and tell them goodnight.

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 first got this monitor in 2023 for my baby shower. It worked for about a year and a half before the monitor broke and wouldn’t hold a charge unless plugged in. I really liked it so I decided to buy another one. I’m now expecting my second baby and bought a third set because I thought you could have two cameras on one monitor and unfortunately Vtech doesn’t sell just the cameras. Well I was on the verge of giving up and returning the new camera because the second camera was not pairing to the monitor. Luckily I kept trying and FINALLY got it to pair. WHY MAKE IT SO DIFFICULT VTECH?? I gave it 3/5 due to it being like the DaVinci Code to pair a second camera. It should not be that difficult. I also had to scour the internet to find what felt like a secret code to even get to the pairing menu. How to pair second camera: • First make sure both monitors are connected to WiFi so they can update software and be the newest version, you might have to give it overnight for it to update camera if it’s been awhile (you can take it off WiFi later) • Go to the menu on the monitor you want to use and make sure the other monitor is off. Once on the menu hit quickly left left right right and hold talk until a little plus camera icon appears. Click on the plus camera and it will prompt to pair then it will start searching for new camera. • Now hit AND HOLD pair button on second camera you are trying to add while monitor tries to search for new camera (it says to hold until the beep but that doesn’t work you need to keep holding the pair button until the monitor gives you the check that it’s paired). It will first beep and say “ready to pair”.. keep holding down button and it will also give another beep once almost paired. Once screen gives the check mark that its paired let go of the pair button on the camera.

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
