VTech Video Baby Monitor

We also got a VTech but the VM3263 and I have zero complaints. It doesn't have an app and doesn't have wifi. It was cheap and does some pretty useful things. The camera swivels remotely, shows the room temp and you can play white noise through it. The battery is mint and the image is clear. I think VTech make some decent options. I've never felt like I've missed out on anything not having an app.

Had a very expensive singing all dancing BT one for our first that broke when they were about 10months old. We picked up a £40 VTech VM3254 one as it was the only one on the shelf that day and it's amazing and still going 3.5 years later! Will use it for our second. The basic VTechs are fab. Agree that sometimes the more low tech option produces less anxiety.

I got the £60 vtech one from Smyths toys. Battery life is crazy good can go whole evening and still have battery for the next day. Very clear image can see baby breathing and very good range. Just curious why you want a WiFi working one and why connect to phone? I wouldn't recommend the phone only ones my parents bought one it was terrible either had to have it on all the time so picks up every noise and uses a lot of phone power or if you locked your phone it didn't go off when baby did wake.

We have the vetch vm923 got it from Smyths toys and love it I spent my whole pregnancy researching and trying to find the best and I think basic is the best. It plugs straight in and works, the picture is clear enough I can see the baby breathing and I can use the monitor for 14hrs without it being plugged in.

I got a simple one that can't be hacked and so relieved I did as one time when LO was about 7 months old I was folding washing in another room but had the monitor with me when I noticed he was making sudden movements, I went in as something felt off and he was struggling to clear vomit out of his mouth and nose. I never leave him to sleep without it now as it terrified me, he was so quiet I wouldn't have heard him as quickly as I saw him on the camera. I got a basic one that's currently on off...

Hahaha it was much cheaper than a proper video monitor - the two pet cams were £36 and the VTech one I got on sale at Tesco's for £20. I love not having to solely rely on WiFi signal, as the VTech one will run anywhere. Made the postnatal anxiety so much better

Vtech it was £65 from Smyths toys. Battery lasts ages, picture is clear enough to see baby breathe. Comes with a wall mount however Iv never used it as I like to be able tell easily move it around.

Super happy with Vtech. We got a RM7766, which we've had for a few years now. You can use it over WiFi or direct to the parent unit. We've also managed to add an additional camera to the parent unit. Could disable the WiFi if you prefer or are concerned about security etc, but I quite like being able to see LO from work!

We bought this v tech one, it's probably mid range in terms of price, but we're really happy with it. No connecting to WiFi, super clear picture and mic, and you can readjust the camera remotely if baby moves out of view https://www.johnlewis.com/vtech-vm7367hd-video-baby-monitor/p112279982?tmad=c&tmcampid=7&s_share=jlappios_Y29tLmFwcGxlLlVJS2l0LmFjdGl2aXR5LkNvcHlUb1Bhc3RlYm9hcmQ=

Thanks all! I got a Vtech VM924 and loving it!😊

Love our VTech one tbh. Got a universal arm holder from Amazon for it and it's been amazing

We went more low tech - the VTech VM5467. Plug-in, temperature sensor, good quality video and audio. Would definitely recommend! We considered ones with an app, and more features, but also wanted to feel like we had something we could trust and wouldn't feel like we needed to monitor every second. Some of the more high tech ones inevitably have more things that can go wrong and with that more moments of anxiety!

We have a Vtech one and it's great - screen and sound quality are excellent, no connection issues etc. The one we have was on the pricier end (around £150) but Argos have [this similar one](https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9527814?storeID=5724&istCompanyId=a74d8886-5df9-4baa-b776-166b3bf9111c&istFeedId=30f62ea9-9626-4cac-97c8-9ff3921f8558&istItemId=pixwamqpw&istBid=t&utm_custom6=LIA&gclsrc=aw.ds&&cmpid=GS001&_$ja=tsid:59157%7Cacid:629-618-1342%7Ccid:20378155429%7Cagid:%7Ctid:%7Ccrid:%7Cnw:x%7Crnd...

We have the VTECH VM3263. It has all of your requirements (I mean the range is fine in our house but we don't have a massive house) plus two way talking and the camera can go up down and almost 360. No recording and I'm not sure what you mean by alerts if it isn't connected to a phone? It does have a little light that lights up if there's noise in the room. The colour of the light depends on the volume of the noise.

We got the vtech 3258 because it had so many good reviews and it only cost around £50 from smyths. The screen is on the smaller side and it is relatively basic, you can't move the camera remotely for example, but overall it has been fantastic and very reliable. If you can't find the 3258 the other ones with similar numbers (3256, 3254) seem to be very similar

We have the Vtech 3250-2. No WiFi, great battery life, and has 2 cameras. We've had it for 10 months now and it still acts like new. We've 2 kids so the two cameras come in super handy, plus it has a patrol mode that changes camera on the parent unit every 10 seconds. Only downside is that you can't remotely move the camera. There's no interference with both cameras being in the same room either!

Yes, I would say it's worth it. Peace of mins, but also can gauge if they need settling or not and avoid unnecessary trips to their room. I recommend the Vtech VM series (Argos sell them) as it doesn't require WiFi, which can be a pain when travelling.

We've got the cheap vtech one from argos, I got sick of reading reviews and just went and bought it. Been using it nearly 2 years and have no complaints. I like the fact it doesn't use wifi because it's easy to plug it in on holiday without having to connect it to anything. It handy being able to see if kiddo is having a little moan in his sleep, or a stand up moany protest.

We've got the Vtech RM7766 and it's amazing in the dark. Quite a lot of reviews saying it's poor quality but I don't think they've enabled the auto night vision setting.

Have a cheapish vtech one for 3 years now, it's on its second child, think it was about £40 from argos. I like the fact it doesn't connect to the Internet so can easy take it on caravan holidays etc.

Haven't used it yet as baby isn't here until Monday but a friend recommended the VTECH VM819 2.8" digital video monitor. She's got a 4 month old and has used it pretty much from day one and can't fault it. So far I like it too! Seems super easy to use. Was only about £55 from Mamas and Papas too.

Weve got a vtech one and its great. We have got a fancier one with lights and sounds and what not but we dont use them and the cheaper ones do the things we do use, alerts me if he goes over a certain volume, night vision is great etc and it isnt wifi

We've got the 'Vtech VM3254 Full 2.8inch Colour Video Baby Monitor'. Does everything you need it to! I know a lot of people who have this.

I have two VTech monitors, I can't see the one I use at home (VM924) in store, but my travel one looks like the VM3254 (bought from FB Marketplace so might be an older version I'm not sure) and while it doesn't have the ability to remotely move the camera, the picture is good and it's super reliable. If needed another I'd probably get another VTech one.

We have [this Vtech](https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9527814) for the same reason. Decent battery life, good camera, and only £45!

I like the one we have as it works without WiFi and can pan with a clear pic. Doesn't work via phone though but thought I'd share as works for us VTech VM924 Video Baby Monitor... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BMVS3WJC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I use the VTech one that's £45 at Argos. There's a light in the parent unit that shows when it detects noise and it isn't WiFi. I've only used it for shorter stints so far as baby is still in the same room as me so can't tell you how good it is with battery life overnight. I liked that I didn't need my phone for it (may be a disadvantage for some) The sound and video are clear. You can turn off the video to just have sound if you want to save battery in the parent unit or find yourself o...

I got my vtech one from Argos in 2021 and it's still going strong. Volume buttons can be a bit iffy but I can deal with that haha.

We didn't want a smart wifi one. We got the Vtech VM5463 for home. Our monitor just sits on top of a cabinet rather than being wall-mounted so the remote pan has been very handy for when we turn it on and find it's been slightly knocked. We haven't used the nightlight or projection but I like the nice big screen. We got the Vtech VM3263 for the grandparents (looked at Vtech VM3254 but wanted one that had remote pan/tilt/zoom like ours) and it's fine but I found it's much harder to see at-a-gla...

I have a BT6000, got it second hand off Vinted for £20 & I can't complain. I bought it based on recommendations from another post here. Non-wifi (which is what I wanted), good sound and video quality, it's easy to position the camera and has a whole bunch of other features I probably won't use 😅

We have the vtech VM924 We had the same sort of requirements, didn't want one over WiFi

We have the same one, it's great. The one thing I would say is that the thermometer on it is not good. Ours was saying the bedroom was 22°C when the Gro egg said 19.3°C. I borrowed a proper thermometer from work and it was reading the same as the gro egg.
