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. Read more

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!! Read more

The media could not be loaded. Purchased this to keep an eye on our puppy who loves to sit in the chair in our 2nd bedroom to stare out the window. The video quality is perfect, I love that I can talk to her when I need to, turn the screen dark, love that there is option for multiple cameras, and the option to move the camera angle around so that I can see if she moves from the location I expect her to be in. Only had for a week but battery life suits my needs usually lasts the entire night. My only wish is that Vtech had an outdoor camera that I could use to watch our dog when she goes outside and to watch the property. Overall, will be purchasing another inside camera when it is needed and would recommend. Update Month 2: Batter is still making it through the night (4PM-10PM) but noticing if I do not charge it at night then I won't be able to have it off the charger for the time I need it (4PM-10PM). It takes 4+ hours to get it charged. At this time, this is not a problem for me but I know this will be in the future and for many of the others reading this review it is a problem they should know about and be able to consider before purchasing this monitor.

Pros: Image quality is good. You can zoom in and out and pan around the room. Volume is adjustable, gets pretty loud to be honest so if you have fear you won't hear the baby you can be at ease. You can set the image to change on its between the two rooms which is nice. The monitor comes with an extra battery. Cons: the biggest con is that little toddlers don't understand the concept of the camera and stars turning on randomly at night and they get scared. This happened with my oldest (she's now 3.4 years old and now understands it's just mommy and daddy turning it on.....thought it was just her BUT now it's the same with my 18 month old). We always use our monitor plugged in so now the current battery is dead. We have to use it plugged in at all times. The keys on the monitor sometimes doesn't work good. If I'm in the menu using the arrows sometimes the volume will start being adjusted instead for example. Read more
