VTech WiFi Baby Monitor with 1080p Camera & 5" HD Screen – Remote Pan Tilt Zoom, Night Vision, Two-Way Talk, Motion Alerts, Free App | 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.

We tried 3 of these. The first was returned because monitor would not connect to the app via wifi. Once attempted the monitor would not connect back to either of the two cameras and was useless. We reset everything, talked to VTech help desk (not much help and simply said to reset it which we tried) best they could do is split the cost of a new one. 2nd one - monitor was dropped by a child - our bad. Did not break but quit working. 3rd was dropped by adult onto a bed mattress and again the monitor went blank. Repair shop said all was working as it should electronically but could not solve blank monitor. Repair shop saw no sign of damage. This time we had purchased the Asurion (<sp?) insurance. They simply sent us an Amazon gift card for the purchase price. DO NOT RECOMMEND and we WILL NOT BUY AGAIN. Used the gift card to buy another camera. Unfortunately we can not find a baby monitor that would support 2 or 3 cameras direct and have wifi option as well.

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.

Great product. I love how big the parent screen is. The video quality is wonderful, better than my other Motorola one. Downloading/setting up the app took longer than setting up the camera. Temperature, magnifier, clock on the parent screen & love the 360 capability. Hoping to not replace anymore cameras!

Excellent product. Sensitive and efficient. I use one for my grandchildren and one for my dogs. I’m able to keep an eye on things when away or busy.

So i've been in the market for a baby monitor and wanted one that had a standalone monitor AND Wifi capabilities to stream on an App/Phone. I tried the Hubble Nursery Pal Crib Edition which i liked because it satisified my first 2 requirements and also included a nice crib mount boom arm that centerd above the crib, however i returned it due to poor connection issues and the fact you had to pay to have more than two app devices connected to it, no thank you. The Vtech vm901 seemed much than the hubble at first. However there were a several issues that made me give up on it. First the app connects ok to the camera however the only way to stream to multiple devices is that you share your account username and password to all users. That may not be an issue to some but when i'm sharing the camera with my parents or in-laws who arent exactly tech savy i'd like to share the camera but limit their access rights to prevent them from accidentally moving the camera or make changes to my user settings (ibaby cam app has this feature). Not a deal breaker but the issues go on. Battery life on the monitor is quite poor even with the screen turned off and the unit on standby it won't last more than 3-4hrs without a power source, this was the case with the wifi turned on or off (radio frequency instead of wifi being used). Also the volume setting on the monitor is too loud in the lowest setting and often found myself just turning off sound all together. Another issue i had was with the App, there is a feature where short motion videos can be recorded. The first few days it would only record upto 2 videos and then overwrite them as new motions were detected. Then after about a week, there would be no recordings at all, even though the setting was turned ON, i tried deleting and re-pairing the camera, resetting the camera, reinstalling the app, nothing worked. I emailed customer service, and received zero help. I receive an automated email stating that service volume was high, and never heard back thereafter. So i gave up on the VM901, really wanted to like it but sadly it was dissappointing like the rest. I resorted to using the iBaby M8 2k camera, there is no standalone monitor, but i just dedicated an old tablet i had to stream from the camera. Connectivity is great, motion capture videos are on point, and i can share the camera with limited access with no subscription fees.

Excelente compra,calidad y precio

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.

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
