VM5463-2 Video Baby Monitor with 2 Cameras, 5" HD Screen

Ok I want to clarify the questions that affected the star ratings don't do the stars justice. This is a GREAT package for the price. No need to spend any more if you're only looking to monitor your children. 1. Picture quality / 4 - No this is not an HD 4k blah blah camera, but it is GREAT quality for great value. You can see your children with no issues, although it is not "crystal clear" but it doesn't need to be. The night vision is awesome as well with no issues telling if your fussy children are playing around still. 2. Battery Life / 3 - The battery doesn't last SUPER long (haven't really timed it) but I try to leave it plugged in anyway, only removing it from the chord when I am on the go about the house. 3. Sheerness? - This shouldn't have been a rating question, should be replaced with quality, so that's what I rated it on Quality / 5. The cameras come with everything you need to mount them, the mounts are stable and have adjusting knobs so you can position it any which way. The monitor in no way feels cheap, and the features are awesome, with the bonus of night vision you also get a cute color changeable night light, and projecting stars (but keep in mind if you mount near the ceiling the projected stars aren't all they could be). If you plan on mounting on ceilings or near, keep in mind the chords aren't SUPER long, I had to mount mine about 1 foot off the ceiling) so they're probably about 6 foot chords. Be sure to get some cable covers if you're using for a toddlers bedroom. Now that my rating questions are out of the way, with a little extra details. Here's my experience and why I wanted these. I have a 5 year old boy and a 3 year old girl. They play as kids do, and no fair to my little girl she can't quite talk yet, only being able to say a little bit. So my boy is ALWAYS "telling on her" or one of them gets a boo boo and only he can tell the story, like Mr. Teddy did it. So we decided to get this monitor set and put one in each of their room without telling them. During playtime we watched and discovered Little mister likes to throw things at the camera (which he got a timeout for and explained not to do that, since he's old enough to understand, but he may have not known what it was beforehand) and little missy likes climbing on her toybox and trying to fly (which she got corner time for and a big NO NO NO, since that's what works for her lol) Both kids are now aware of the cameras (its been like 3 weeks or so now) little missy loves the night light, music, and stars. Where as little mister is always cautious with what he does, never knowing if he is being watched or not. We don't always monitor them we let them be kids, but I'm telling you since purchasing this I have seen a big difference in how they play with each other and I'm glad we didn't wait any longer. We put a stop to ruff playing and dangerous actions before they developed any further. The piece of mind a simple camera can bring can change the way your child develops, and based on how you react can be for the better.

We have only had this monitor for a couple of days, but so far we love it!! We tried it on a whim, because there were only a handful of reviews, being that it was a new product on Amazon. The few reviews it had were fantastic, so we gave it a shot. I'm so glad we did!! We had a Summer Infant monitor for our first daughter. She is almost 4, and it still works pretty well. It's basic, but good quality. We were hoping to find another one from that company for our youngest daughter, but we couldn't find one for our needs. We tried a Motorola one instead, and it was pure garbage! The sound constantly cuts out, the picture quality is poor, and the battery is horrible! It could charge all night, and then die as soon as we take it off the charger. Other times, it's fine. It's never consistent. Needless to say, it was a huge waste of (a lot!) of money, so we decided to search for a new monitor again. I've been doing research for a few months now, and nothing popped out at me. The reviews were always so mixed, and it didn't give me a lot of hope. I looked again last week, because I needed SOMETHING functional at this point, and stumbled upon this product. I am so, so glad I found it!! The picture is amazing, it's a large monitor so it's easy to see, the battery is really good on it, and the reception is awesome! We were able to get it to reach way further than the other monitors we have. It has all of the features I've been looking for, and then some! I can't say enough good things about it. It's still early, so hopefully it doesn't disappoint as time goes on. If you're struggling to make a choice in which monitor to purchase, I HIGHLY recommend this one!!

Can’t go wrong on this one. Easy to use. No WiFi needed. Excellent quality video.

Lots of great features but missing something that my last monitor had - volume lights on the outside that light up when the baby cries. For example, If I’m in the shower and the baby is fussing I definitely can’t tell or hear it on this. My last monitor had lights on the side that lit up according to the noise in the room. So if I couldn’t hear the monitor I could still tell by the lights. It was very helpful. You have to hold the power button down for a good 6 seconds before it turns on or off. It feels like forever. My friends monitor (same model) does the same thing. The battery doesn’t last long before it needs to be plugged in. I have it plugged in most the time. Definitely have to have it plugged in overnight. If you have the music on you can’t hear the kid at all. Pros: nice picture, big screen. Night light and stars that light up the ceiling. My kids love those. My daughter loves the music even though I hate it lol. I love that all the lights and music are on timers though. So after a set amount of time they auto turn off. U can also set the lights to come on with noise in the room, but my kids would wake up and not go back to sleep. Lots of features, but ultimately I feel like it’s not going to last as long as my old monitor. My old monitor was like a old button phone. Not great but did its job well and lasted for about 2-3 years. We had the infant optics before and tried this to get more settings. It’s better in a lot of ways and not as good in a lot lol I guess the winner will be which monitor lasted longer. I’ve had this a few months now and I’ve noticed the buttons are less responsive already.

Read other poor ratings carefully because they all say the same thing. After having this product for a year now, it is unusable. For more times than I can count, the cameras have unlinked from the monitors due to wifi interference or from the fact it is a poorly made product. I've had to reset them so many times including unscrewing the back panel and messing with the battery. It will crap out on you in the middle of the night and then all of a sudden you have no view of your baby and panic but also don't want to go in the baby's room and wake them up to reset the camera. The battery life on this thing sucks -- it lasts for about an hour and then will beep loudly at you with a low battery symbol. I reached out to customer service asking if there was anything more I could do after following their suggestions on the Help site and having no luck and they basically gave me the same steps that are on their site and offering a 15% discount for a future monitor...uh NO. Needless to say, do yourself a favor and just invest in an InfantOptics monitor, everything about it is so much better.

I want to start off by saying I’ve only had this camera for one day so take my review with a grain of salt, I will try to update my review later on when I’ve had it longer. So far, I love this baby monitor. The screen is large, it doesn’t feel “cheap” at all, it feels high quality and the features it has like the lullaby’s and star projector and nightlight feature is really cool. Those three things are additional features that I won’t be using since my son is old enough that it’ll probably distract him but cool to have. I love that it has a second camera, we will set that one up when we have a second baby and I love the fact that I can split the screen to view from both cameras or toggle between the two. I have not tested out this feature yet but I love the option. Very easy set up, I was able to take it right out of the box and use it, lots of great features that you can manage from the parent screen, big clear screen in the daytime and at night. My best friend is pregnant with her first and I will be recommending this monitor to her 100%. Cons: *please note, these cons are not dealbreakers for me* The sound seems to be a little “behind”. My sons room is across the hall and I can hear him in his room and on the monitor it seems to echo him if that makes sense. It bothers me a little bit but again, not a deal breaker. Still give it 5 stars. Another feature I wish it had (unless I’ve missed it) is I can’t put the screen to “sleep”, though I hated my last baby monitor (infant optics DXR-8) I did like the fact that I could turn off the screen at night with just the push of one button and yet I could still hear him. Please, if anyone knows if this monitor has that feature let me know :). I’m anxious to test out the battery life and the connection to see how far I can take the monitor as I sometimes will go outside during his naps or once he’s in bed. He’s also on the top flight of our tri level house. Again, I will try to update my review in a few months.

I purchased this baby monitor so I could keep eyes on my toddler when we transitioned her from the crib to her “big girl bed”, and make sure she was staying in bed. This monitor allows me to do that. The picture quality is not great, but good enough that I can see whether she is in bed or not which was the main motivator for buying it, so this is not a huge concern for me. Some definite negatives of this product include poor battery life on the parent unit. It seems to take no time at all for the battery to be down to one bar and need to be plugged in. My biggest concern with this product is the sensitivity to sound. Occasionally I hear my daughter making noise in her room, and the monitor does not pick up those noises despite being set to the most sensitive setting (supposedly supposed to pick up even background noises). All in all, this products accomplishes what I need it to(being able to visually check in on my daughter in her room at night), though there are a couple things that could be better. Not a five star product, but perfectly acceptable for my needs.

**Update** 2/6/22 Sadly the battery life on the main viewing unit has gotten worse and worse. Since my toddler wakes up soundless like a little ninja I need the video on to see her getting up. Since it comes with two video monitors, I use one of the power cords to take the parent unit wherever I am and plug it in. It would be helpful if the company gave tips on how to maintain battery life. I am guessing it is a battery type where if left plugged in too lng it starts doing more harm than good, or maybe it needs a full drain to reset or maybe it should never drain. See , I have no clue. I am going to write the companyto see if the battery can be replaced.*** If you are choosing between the InfantOptics DXR-8 or this one, get this one!!! The dxr8 would NOT reach my bonus room behind my garage which was hardly fifty ft from the bedroom but with walls in between. I hated that I could not control the volume on separate buttons as well. But this VTech unit does all that to my relief!! This monitor has far more features than the dxr8 as well. Maybe the dxr8 was amazing ten years ago, but the vtech is like a modern update. You can choose the unit to turn off and only turn on if sound is detected, or turn off sound activation so the video stays on. OR turn off the screen but still hear audio! One thing I have noticed so far though is that battery life is probably not nearly as good as the dxr8. I am not sure how long it lasts if you leave the screen on but it has already dropped a bar from leaving it on the past 10 minutes. It also comes with two cameras for the price of dxr8’s one. Highly recommend if you hate the DXR8’s shortcomings, this one makes up for it.

Parece usado, la etiqueta de sello parecía remplazada y la caja muy golpeada tal cual parece usada

Love the options and functionality it provides. Only flaw in monitor is that the lower volume button sometimes sets off the zoom feature (which is the button above). Annoying, but not worth the hassle to return/replace. Edit to add: battery life deteriorated significantly after 1 year of use.

works.

Night lights & stars are a great feature but would have liked the option to stay on all night. The sound & screen vision is fine. Talk back feature works well. The screen/monitor takes a long time to charge & when disconnected from the power cord the battery life is very short. Overall it does what we wanted and would recommend it.

I've had a couple things go wrong with this and it's not even a year old. The temperature gage sometimes quits working or reading and one time baby's room got insanely hot and I was unaware since it wasn't reading it. Then often the volume button doesn't work... it either will zoom in or flip to the other camera instead of adjusting the volume which I've learned to live with but a bit annoying
