Customers say
Customers find the baby monitor easy to use and set up, with exceptional picture and sound quality, and appreciate the included lullaby and white noise features. However, the connectivity is problematic, with customers reporting frequent disconnections. Moreover, the battery life is poor, lasting only 2 to 3 hours, and customers consider it not worth the money. The functionality and camera quality receive mixed reviews, with some finding it reliable while others report malfunctions and durability issues.

Good product, would buy again
I am only writing this review and hope so they will stop asking me to write a review every time I go to take a picture. I do like the camera it is a good camera I have no complaints other than the amount of times the app has asked me if I want to rate them

Great camera but read the reviews
Camera quality is great and it is a great monitor for the most part. only issue I had with it was that the parent unit had to be connected to a charger all the time after a year use & the two way talking stoping working as well & sometimes itâll go offline during nap time and it was usually a pain to get it to come back online.

Lesser quality than the original version of this camera/monitor
I bought this to replace the original version that quit working after 3 years. The original camera/monitor was no longer available so I purchased this upgraded version. I have been pretty disappointed with the quality of this product.1. They removed the universal mount (where you can screw it in to most other camera mounts) and replaced it with a cheap plastic clip that can only be screwed into a wall or other surface.2. There is a weird humming background noise that is always present on the monitor, no matter where the camera is placed. This was not an issue with the previous version of the camera/monitor.3. The charging cord plug for the previous version was pretty common and was the same for both the camera and the parent unit. This updated version has a different size plug for the parent unit (also different from the camera) that is not compatible with other common cords; You have to unplug the whole unit and bring it between floors every day and night.4. The new “updated” app is slow and frequently disconnects from the camera.This is not a good replacement for the original version of this unit.

I would buy this vm901hd camera again ( and did)
I got an open box VTech vm901hd camera set. The picture is clear day or night. Sounds is great ! Was easy to use plug and play concept. Everything works like it should with the notifications with the cry or noise. I give the camera 5 stars but the missing part 3 stars.The open box was missing the base ( bummer) to the camera and the monitor had some scuffes (monitor is fine with me with the scuffes). But I guess that is an open box problem with base missing.

Love!
We replaced our Owlet cam 2 with this and are SO much happier. The quality is better, the relay of sound and movement more accurate, and the screen clear.

Not as Great as it may Seem
I really thought this was it as for cameras but Iâve been really really let down. Iâve owned 3, not ONE but THREE of these cameras. I know shame on meâ¦should have learned. 2 being I bought myself on Amazon and one being bought on the Facebook market (which I understand isnât VTechs fault, but it still comes down to it being the same camera brand). My first camera the monitor battery life depleted pretty quickly. Then the camera itself started glitching and the lens would turn on and off on and off and at times just not work.We bought a second camera.Now this second camera monitor life is worse than the first. You just have to constantly keep it charged. Today the monitor screen just went black on me even being plugged in to charge at the same time, which prompted me to write this review because Iâve had it.The other camera I bought from the Facebook market place did the same thing the other two cameras have done on me.Such a bummer. I even bought one for my parents business so in all you can say Iâve bought 4 of these cameras. I KNOWâ¦dumb.

Me parece un excelente producto. Es nÃtida la imagen y el sonido es claro. Lo mejor es que desde donde esté (mi oficina) puedo ver a través del celular a mi bebé mientras está en casa. La única debilidad es la baterÃa, pero nada extraordinario, se puede mantener conectado, y cuando realmente sea necesario desconectarlo. Gran producto.

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

We bought this a year ago for £69. Itâs 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

0 level of support in UAE. They have a affiliated support company but that company has no office in Dubai. Just a virtual companyâ¦Worst support experience. Every time you contact vtech support they will throw some links at you.What a pathetic mistake by buying it.I bought this VTech camera on 9th Jan 2023. Used it without any issue until now. Parent unit keeps disconnecting from the baby unit.Tested it thoroughly to make sure itâs not due to network or distance.Tested as,1. Off wifi. Even in the same room parent unit disconnected from the parent unit and Parent unitâs green indicator turned orange.2. Tested on wifi (router in the same room) with both parent and baby unit in same room, still connection dropped.This keeps happening every 3-5 minutes and every-time I have to restart the baby unit. Itâs so frustrating to invest good amount but face critical issues so soon.As device is still under warranty, I have contacted seller regarding this issue resolution.Hopefully I hear back soon.
