Baby Monitor reviews from Reddit

"We’ve had a great experience with the Nanit."

"I love it. I like checking on them when I’m away from home too."

"Nanit all day."

"It’s been fantastic"

"Nanit."

"We love our Nanit."

"Pricey, but we love Nanit!"

"Infant optics..we’ve had it for 3 years and have had no issues. Picture quality is great"

"+1 for infant optix dxr8. Ambient noise reduction, range, image definition with zoom, ability to add multiple cameras and scan between them. No cons."

"Infant Optics Dxr-8 pro. Love it. Nice display, quality noise cancellation, works great with 2 cameras now too. It's not wifi."

"I love my HelloBaby monitor."

"I LOVE it."

"It’s been perfect so far and fits your description. I’ll add- this is really durable too!"

"We used to have one, but got a HelloBaby instead, which is soo much better."

"I went with the HelloBaby monitor that has a 30-hour battery, alongside all the bells and whistels like 1,000 feet range and 2-way talk."

"Good"

"Fairly cheap with option to buy 2 cameras. Has night vision that’s super easy to see and volume that changes color level with how loud baby is being. I can be downstairs and not lose connection to upstairs and the camera can move remotely if baby moves to follow them without me having to come upstairs to change it. And my favorite- monitor doesn’t need charged everyday. It lasts awhile especially if I don’t need the camera and am only listening to it since you can blacken the screen."

"Shut off/only activated when the noise increased"

"Hello baby brand monitors on Amazon are amazing. Pretty inexpensive and great battery life."

"Babysense. We use our split screen monitor every day."

"Our Vtech audio monitor on level 5 is LOUD."

"It's basic but has good functions and can see baby really well, even can see that they're breathing."

"Third the vtech 2 camera one! It’s been incredible!"

"It’s not wifi so I don’t have to be worried about some creep looking at my baby and it can play soothing noises or I could even talk through it."

"We got a vtech one a month ago and it works great."

"We got the vtech too. It’s brilliant."

"Opted for a simple vtech one too. Can’t fault to really."

"Our vtech one is great and was so easy to set up."

"The night vision is bonkers, although I did realise recently it has infrared LEDs, which really help."

"Looks like the Aqara G3 is a good choice for what you need."

"The G3 Pro is still pointed at the cot, and still in use each and every night. No issues yet. Solid product from aqara."

"Aqara G3 is probably the best bet here, though I would still recommend a simple baby monitor as well."

"I ended up going with the Aqara g3. It’s min red in the wall above his bed, gives “noise detection” and can monitor audio or video from anywhere."

"The Aqara 2K Security Indoor Camera Hub G3 and the Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor are both excellent choices."

"I ended up with the g3. It’s perfect. While it’s not officially a baby monitor, it will alert to “unusual sounds” such as a baby crying."

"I'd go with the Aqara 2K Security Indoor Camera Hub G3 in this case, TBH. If you're willing to ditch the HomeKit then the Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor would be another great option."

"We have an Aqara G3 in the nursery which is great and I would highly recommend it."

"Aqara is the way to go. Has 2 way audio and HomeKit native."

"Aqara G3. Has been pointed at my baby’s bed since day 1 without skipping a beat."

"I think it’s worth the price."

"The VOX setting is great so now instead of having to listen to the monitor all night... it only switches to on when it hears the baby cry a specific volume."

"It's WiFi-enabled, has a solid app that lets you stream audio in the background, and it doesn’t glitch when switching apps."

"It now becomes a reliable buddy in our house."

"The pic feed is crystal clear, and the battery life has been surprisingly solid."

"I have the Momcozy one and like it so far. You can do split screen with up different cameras (up to 4). It has a good size screen on the monitor."

"I was especially impressed with Momcozy."

"It has a big screen, the feature you mentioned, it’s not connected via wifi."

"It’s was 100$ cheaper than optics and seemed very similar specs."

"I'm using one from momcozy, it's a video baby monitor, can use without wifi."

"I love it we've never had an issue with connection and the image is clear enough I can see her tummy moving up and down that she's breathing. Definitely recommend"

"They’re also surprisingly sturdy. I literally dropped mine in a dog’s water bowl and after disassembling it and drying it, it still works just fine."

"It's been great, and best of all it was cheap af."

"We have The Motorola VM75-2 split screen with two cameras."

"It has a lot of features"

"The most good point is different multiple alert notifications based on my girl activities to the monitor."

"Other people really like Blink (I actually use those at work)."

"The cheap wyze camera plus an sd card has been really good for us."

"We have Wyze cameras, which are inexpensive but excellent quality security cameras."

"I use a Wyze camera."

"I'd recommend just going with one or two Wyze cams."

"Single Wayze camera angled so I can see the whole room."

"Do NOT get Wyze. ours are in my bedroom tanks and they got HACKED."

"We went with the tweetycam. Warranty and customer service was great."

"Tweety cam must be so pissed about this 😂 I have it too, highly recommend."

"We switched out for tweetycam and we’re very happy with it."

"We like the tweetycam!"

"I've got this dupe as well and it's great."

"Yes I got this one too, it’s working great!"

"The app makes it easy to check on your dad from anywhere, and the two-way audio is handy for communicating."

"I can’t recommend it enough."

"I love that I can keep an eye on him while doing house stuff or running errands. The picture-in-picture is a nice touch."

"We have the CuboAI monitor and you can access both cameras from your device."

"Perfect solution for us with very high-resolution video quality and long-range connection."

"We have bonoch with 2 cameras."

"Stable connection and long battery life"

"Just go for non-wifi one. We have bonoch with two cameras."

"Hubble Club Cloud Pal Twin!"

"I have a Hubble monitor with a camera that attaches to the crib. It doesn’t require WiFi unless you use your phone to connect"

"Ours is from Hubble. It comes with a tablet that can be used in the house and offline."

"I like my hubble:) video/sound, has a good app as well."

"We love our Hubble club! It has its own screen, or you can hook to Wi-Fi and look on your phone."

"I have the hubble baby monitor, it has a magnetic base that can be mounted on the wall and angled to the crib, and it has an app that can be downloaded with it."

"I don’t recommend Hubble. I regret my purchase."

"I love my owlet. It has a base that works via Bluetooth and that connects to your phone via wifi. The base does all the alerts and is all you really need."

"I use and recommend the Owlet sock and camera."

"Owlet"

"Owlet is the only FDA approved monitor with alerts if it goes out of range. It keeps track of heart rate, oxygen, and also if they're wiggling around."

"I use the owlet. It is wifi enabled but also uses bluetooth, and you can see when someone is watching because the blue light will turn red."

"I have the owlet and I would NOT recommend it. It seems to disconnect frequently enough to be a total pain."

"Just get Tapo"

"I use a TAPO camera, really like it. Cheap, and does the job well."

"Tapo camera from Amazon, links to an app on phone or tablet."

"We use a tapo camera and an old iPhone as the monitor."

"Which seems to fit the bill for you."

"The range is good"

"I love CuboAi for the fact I get notifications to my phone."

"I'd recommend the Logitech Circle View Camera."

"I'd recommend the Logitech Circle View Camera."

"Logitech Circle View for a HomeKit option. Supports HKSV, so it isn't sending data anywhere but to you."

"We're super happy with it."

"We used a Google Nest."

"I did a Google nest camera in their room."

"We used ring cameras. They are technically security cameras but worked great."

"Watch it on your tablet."

"Ring or Nest camera."

"Probably baby monitors have more features but yea xiao mi works lol."

"Sound and video quality is great. It pans, tilts and the range just about covers the house."

"Anmeate monitor, $45 on amazon. Great clear picture."

"Seconding this! We’ve had ours for a year now and it’s been great"

"I got a second hand vtech video monitor with no wifi on marketplace for $50."

"We use a Vtech video monitor because it's not connected to the internet/Wi-Fi."

"Best purchase or recommendation would be Nest or Kasa."

"If we did it again, we wouldn't use an expensive video baby monitor."

"It's cheaper, has remote video, is easy to put anywhere."

"Happy about the product, not so about the quality."

"Worked well for us"

"It’s a scam"

"And the miku. It’s garbage."

"Is the best"

"Bebcare baby monitor is WAY better than Hubble."

"Some of my friends have either one, and they seem to be working well for them. However, if OP is looking for an alternative, I've been using indoor camera units from Arlo."

"I ended up getting a Neonate cause I’m not too into the video feed. Just something that works with voice really well, simple, radiation free, and affordable too."

"Ecobee cam has been great for us. It has a baby monitor mode!"

"Netatmo indoor camera and a traditional audio radio monitor… works great, reliable, no fee!"

"SM50 baby monitor is a dupe of tweetycam, but much cheaper!"

"You can give VTimes' products a try."

"We have Blink cameras."

"There is a good 5+ second delay between the camera feed and what’s actually happening."
