VTech Upgraded Audio Baby Monitor with Rechargeable Battery, Long Range, and Crystal-Clear Sound

My daughter lives with me and she spends a lot of time in our basement. She is a crafter and does her project there. I have a police scanner, and it is upstairs. She wanted to hear it in the basement, so we bought the baby monitor, and it works great. The sound is clear, it was easy to set up, and it was a lot cheaper than buying her a scanner.

Excellent affordable monitor! Great high quality sounds and works from my house to my garage.

Easy set up and easy to use. Good volume and works well. Also very portable

For the price, you cannot go wrong with this monitor. We bought it to place in the bathroom while our aging mom is showering. If she needs us, we can hear her calling us. The mic is very sensitive. This is a good thing. We can even hear her breathing (and humming sometimes). We can hear when the water is shut off, so we know when she's done and about to come out. The quality of the cases is very good. We've dropped them several times and no issues. We are not so impressed with battery life. We have it on for maybe 30 minutes at a time and we have to charge the receiver after several uses. It's not a deal breaker, but we just have to make sure we charge it frequently. Perhaps another issue related to the battery - there is a light that glows red when charging. However, even after 12 hours of charging the light is still red. I would think it should turn green like nearly all other items you need to charge. Nope, this charging light NEVER glows green! So, how do we know when the receiver is completely charged? We don't!

We take care of our granddaughter at least two days a week, and this upgraded VTech audio baby monitor has become an essential tool for making those days easier. Initially, we chose an audio-only model intentionally—wanting to resist the temptation of continuously checking a video screen—and this VTech model has absolutely exceeded our expectations. First and foremost, the sound quality is exceptional. We can clearly hear every little coo, giggle, or fuss from our granddaughter's nursery without any annoying static or interference. The clarity truly is impressive; it's reminiscent of traditional baby monitors but vastly improved with modern technology. There's never that distracting hiss or hum that you sometimes get with older models. Instead, it's quiet when our granddaughter sleeps and crystal clear when she wakes up or needs us. One feature we've especially appreciated is the rechargeable parent unit. We're not tethered to an outlet; we simply carry it around wherever we are—doing chores, cooking in the kitchen, or even stepping outside briefly—and we've never had an issue with the battery running out during the day. At night or during longer stretches, we just plug it in by the bedside and it's ready again in the morning. The monitor's impressive range is another huge plus. We haven't tested the extreme limits, but it easily reaches anywhere inside our house, into the yard, and even out to the mailbox or garage without losing the connection. Setup was incredibly easy: we just plugged the nursery unit in, turned on both units, and they instantly connected. We also appreciate the visual sound indicator lights on the parent unit. Sometimes, if we're watching TV or busy with tasks, we keep the monitor volume on low. The lights visually alert us to any sounds coming from our granddaughter’s room, ensuring we never miss a moment when she needs attention. After several months of use, it has consistently delivered. If you’re grandparents like us who frequently care for your grandchildren, having a dependable, portable, and clear baby monitor like this one from VTech makes life significantly easier. It truly provides invaluable peace of mind. Highly recommended!

This VTech audio monitor is absolutely perfect, and it has become one of our essential pieces of travel gear. For the price, which is very accessible compared to others, the quality and reliability you get are absolutely valuable. We have always traveled with it, and it has never let us down. The best feature is the wireless parent monitor, which is designed for true portability. The unit itself is the perfect size to fit in your hand or back pocket, and it has a handy belt clip to attach to your pants, so you can be completely hands-free. This makes it perfect to move around with. Whether we're at a vacation rental or just at home, I can be on the patio or in another room and still keep a close 'eye' (or ear, rather) on our little one. The sound is clear, and you have full control over the volume. A genius feature is the visual light monitor; even if it's noisy where I am, the lights on the unit indicate the level of sound in the baby's room. The only perk to be aware of is that the battery on the parent unit only lasts for a couple of hours, so you need to remember to connect it to charge after every use. For us, that's a small trade-off for the freedom it provides. It's fantastic for travel because it's so simple—no Wi-Fi or complicated setup needed. For the peace of mind it provides, it's a 5-star product all the way.

The audio works well and is sensitive, picks up sounds well. However, every time the parent unit reconnects to the base unit (which is every time the base unit is unplugged) a voice loudly announces a safety message. Not good for sleeping babies if you and the parent unit part are still in the baby's room when you turn it on. Also, the battery life on the parent unit is very poor.

We don't have a "baby-baby" but a 4 yr old granddaughter who sleeps in and is upstairs. We needed something on the cheap side that allowed me to hear her when she screams out "GAMMMMMM"!! This works great! It's not a 2-way, but is long range. I bring it outside gardening in the morning while she sleeps. Then I make her garden with me. Great purchase!
