    Customers say

    Customers find the baby monitor works well and is easy to set up and use, with excellent range that reaches across houses easily. The sound quality receives mixed feedback - while it picks up even low-level noise, some customers say it needs to be louder to pick up faint sounds. The battery life is problematic, with customers reporting it doesn't last long, and reliability is also mixed with some saying it's the best while others find it not reliable. Customers consider it good value for money, describing it as a perfect low-budget audio monitor.

    I can either have the monitor with me throughout the house while my daughter sleeps cause the batteries are chargeable or just keep it plugged in on my night stand. I can hear loud and clear when she wakes up or starts crying.

      This was perfect for our camping life! We have a 2 month old baby, and these baby walkie talkie monitors were so helpful.
      We did need to have our campers generator running to be able to have the baby side of the walkie talkie working, but that was no biggie.
      I was able to enjoy time at the campfire while our baby slept and was able to check in on her when she needed me. I was about 300' away at one point and the connection was great. Product says it can go up to 1000'. A++++ product.

      I actually returned this, but I'm still giving it a 5 star review. We purchased this to allow my mom to communicate at night if she needed something. Unfortunately she sleeps with the TV on, so this didn't work out for us, because there was constant noise on it. But -- it works very well in other situations. Sound quality is very clear.

      Its a cost effective monitor. Good range with many walls blocking line of sight to the baby room monitor. Sturdy enough to survive being dropped by toddler.
      Issue: 1) battery in parent unit weak. Always plug it in.
      2) "VTECH CARES ABOUT THE SAFETY OF YOUR CHILDREN!!!!!!" Announcement EVERY time i turn the parent speaker on and it connects to the microphone unit. No volume control or way to stop it from doing that. I have to mash my hand against the speaker to muffle the scream. I have a newborn that sleeps in my room and this thing will wake her if I forget to cover it when its turned on. (If anyone has a solution for shutting it off please post it).

      After we got this monitor, we have gained our freedom to work in our terrace office, when our kids sleep at night. It has a good range and is very reliable. It it very easy to use too. But For battery use, it doesnt last long. The only thing is make sure you turn it off when not in use, otherwise people can hear unwanted conversations. 😅

      リビングにあるオートロック対応モニタ付きインターホンの音が寝室にいると聞こえづらく、宅配便等が来ても気づかないことが多かったため購入。本体は大きいかと思ったら手のひらサイズでちょうどよいです!集音の感度もとても良く、ベビー用モニターはリビングと寝室の中間地点である洗面所にフックで吊るし、寝室に親用モニターを置いてますが、ドアを閉じていてもインターホンの音がきちんと聞こえました、文句なしに最高!使わない時は電源OFFにしています。

      海外製だったので日本国内(A-type,100V,東日本50Hz)で使えるか心配でしたが、そのまま使えます!
      ・付属電源アダプターはA-type(2ピン)
       →日本のアウトレットにもサイズぴったり合いました。
      ・電源アダプター:INPUT 100V-120V-60Hz対応
       →東日本は50Hzですが、ラジオ・テレビ等の電気製品の場合は60Hz製品をそのまま使ってOKです。
       (東京電力TEPCOサイトで確認)

      親用モニターは充電式リチウム電池が付属しておりワイヤレス対応ですが、置くことが多ければ電源アダプター接続をおすすめします。(ちなみに付属のリチウム電池は日本のコードレスフォンに使われているものと形が一緒でした)
      ベビー用モニターは電池対応していません、付属アダプターのみ可能です。

      Reviewed in Canada on October 24, 2020
      Style: Audio Monitor with 1 Parent UnitVerified Purchase
      I do not feel the need to have visual on my baby, so a basic monitor like this one with audio only fits the bill. It's light and simple to use. It seems to be well made. The only thing is I find the sound is on the quiet side. That being said, you will definitely hear your baby crying if he/she is going full force. You are likely to miss initial quiet complaints from your baby especially if there are other noises in the house. I do like that the portable component uses two AAA batteries and does not require special batteries. I got rechargeable AAAs for it.
