VTech VM901 Smart WiFi Baby Monitor with 1080p FHD Camera and 5" HD IPS Display, Free App, Remote Pan Tilt Zoom, Night Vision, Motion Detection Alerts

**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.

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 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 .

DO NOT BUY VTECH BABY MONITORS - Here's why: My first VTech monitor (VM901) lasted about 1.5 years before the battery completely failed. The monitor would only work when plugged in, making it essentially useless as a portable monitor. I tried replacing the battery myself but found it was nearly impossible to access and replace. Eventually the monitor stopped working even when plugged in. Of course, this failure happened just after the 1-year warranty expired, leaving me without a functional monitor. Hoping it was just bad luck, I purchased a second VTech monitor (VM901HD) for $129.95. This one completely failed within just one month of purchase. The monitor stopped working entirely, leaving me without any way to monitor my toddler during sleep and naps. After the second monitor failed, I contacted VTech support and went through their troubleshooting process, but nothing worked. They directed me to fill out a warranty replacement form on their website. I submitted the form on Tuesday, May 27th, and their auto-response promised a reply within 1-2 business days. Six days passed with no response. As a parent without a functioning baby monitor for nearly a week, I was dealing with constant anxiety about my child's safety during sleep times. I finally called on Monday, June 2nd to follow up, and only then did they escalate my case. When VTech finally responded, their "solution" was insulting. Instead of replacing my $129.95 VM901HD with the same model, they offered to send me an RM5764HD—a different model that retails for only $119.95. So not only did I lose a week without a monitor, but they wanted to downgrade me to a cheaper model with no compensation for the inconvenience or safety concerns. The pattern here is clear: 1. Poor build quality with non-replaceable batteries that fail quickly 2. Customer service that's slow, unresponsive, and doesn't prioritize safety concerns 3. A replacement policy that downgrades customers to cheaper products My Strong Recommendation: Choose ANY Other Brand. After two failed monitors and terrible customer service, I cannot recommend VTech baby monitors to any parent. Your child's safety is too important to risk on unreliable products backed by a company that doesn't stand behind what they sell. I have attached images of all 3 monitors.

Purchased this in Feb 2022. Here it is 3 years later and I still think this is the best camera we've ever purchased. It does all the things. Only compliant is sometimes it drops wifi connection so the monitor will beep until you reset everything and other times it fixes itself eventually. After 3 years of constant 24/7 use the battery life on the parent monitor is less than ideal but as long as you leave it plugged in it still works perfectly. The app makes it so you dont absolutely need the parent monitor. I recommend this to every new parent. Its been a lifesaver for years literally. Plus you can use multiple cameras in different rooms and view them all at once or individually on the app too.

Me parece un excelente producto. Es nítida 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 batería, pero nada extraordinario, se puede mantener conectado, y cuando realmente sea necesario desconectarlo. Gran producto.

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
