VTech VM819-2 Baby Monitor Features & Review

Great quality camera! So easy to set up.
This minister works great! I’m a first time mom, so I’m constantly worried if my baby is ok. It makes me feel so much better because the camera is so clear that I can see that my baby is breathing, which makes me feel a lot better. It’s so easy to set up, the size is perfect, the price is great. Love it!

Simple, Affordable, minor annoying details.
We have used this for almost 2 years daily. Video is good but don’t expect super high detailed video. I don’t use the 2x zoom, it’s not great anyways. The video is more useful to see if your little one is up or in a weird position. The night vision on it works well but there is an annoying blinking green light on the camera. Screen can be turned off for audio only which is nice. It’s the type of screen that likes to be viewed at specific angles. When titled sideways one direction, you can’t see well.Audio pickup is excellent. Picks up shuffling noise. Sometimes annoyingly picks up dogs barking in the neighborhood so I get to listen to that twice.Battery life. The battery on it is good but after almost 2 years of constant use, the battery is hot when charging and using. Common sign that the battery is dying. Since I need it for just a bit longer, I bought a generic replacement (INR18650CB). 2 screws in the back and then carefully splitting the case in two. 4 screws for the battery holder, un plug and new one goes in. Replacement was about $15 and took a little over a week to come from amazon sellers.Overall, I would recommend this monitor. Does what I need without being overly complicated. No need to mess with phone apps or wifi connectivity. Signal even reaches when I walk to the mailbox a few houses down.

Finally the volume control I was looking for in a dual monitor!!!
We ordered and returned SO MANY monitors before getting this one. I really love this monitor, it’s so nice and small that it fits perfectly in my pocket (most other ones are just so massive). We’ve had no problem seeing everything we need to on such a “small” screen. The range is incredible, we’ve gotten it to reach way further than the marketed range.We would have preferred a split screen, but they just don’t make them with the volume customization that we were looking for… let me explain.Here is how the volume control on this two camera model (vtech VM923-2) works. If only camera one is selected, volume can be turned off or on for that camera. If only camera two is selected, volume can be turned off or on for that camera. If the rotating mode where it displays camera one for ten seconds, then camera two for ten seconds, is turned on you cannot control the volume of each camera individually. Either volume from both is turned on or volume from both is turned off. You cannot have it on rotating camera mode and have camera one on volume level five and camera two on volume level one. They have to be at the same volume level on rotating mode. You also cannot have it on the rotating mode and have volume from camera one on and volume from camera two off. Either both cameras volume is on or both off (on rotating mode).If during the night you have it on rotating camera mode, let’s say your child in the room with camera one starts crying. There could be up to a ten second delay in you hearing it through the monitor since it is switching between the two. Again hopefully that makes sense. We have had no issue with this functionality at all, we really love how it works.One other small note, as you’re selecting options on the menu, the monitor makes a “confirmation noise”. It cannot be turned down or turned off. So if you go to change something during the night be prepared to hear that each time.Apparently I’m very passionate about this, considering I just wrote a novel, but I just read so many reviews for so many monitors while we were shopping for one and no one would explain how volume on a two camera monitor works. So hopefully I’ve helped someone out there who was like me!

Hello, we both this product and just started to use it: it needs to be plugged on an electrical outlet when it’s writting it’s working on a battery. Could we get an exchange or a refund please ? thanks a lot

Would not recommend.I have heard good reviews on vtech monitors however I am very disappointed in this product.One of the cameras is extremely blurry (see photo). You also cannot pan from the monitor, you have to manually move the camera. As seen in the photo we are unable to view the whole crib with the camera mounted as high as possible, and we can’t pan to see the very top or bottom of the crib.
