I love this baby monitor. The ability to move the camera controlled by the parent set is great, it works well if there is more than one baby in the room. The 2 way talk function is useful, it can help settle a child by hearing your voice.
I love that the screen blacks out when baby is settled and sleeping. It means at nighttime it doesn’t illuminate my room. It’s also easily identifiable when the screen lights up that baby has moved or is starting to wake.
The only weakness we have found is it can lose signal when out of a certain range, however within the house it’s perfect.
Most definitely a must buy for peace of mind
This montior is excellent if you want a clear and crisp video monitor without paying the earth. It has many fantastic features, including music and being able to speak to your baby from wherever you are in the house. Nice and cheap and super easy to install too
This is a good monitor. It’s wireless and easy to charge. The camera needs plugging in though. The video quality is good especially at night, the screen tells you signal strength and the temperature of the room.
You can play music to calm your baby whilst using it and also talk to them if they need settling.
The signal range is good we can use it through three floors.
This is a great monitor really easy to use
The pan tilt comes in handy specially when they move about you can move the camera
The day time picture is better then the night time, that can be a bit fuzzy but still a great monitor!
Clear picture, long battery life, temperature display
Weaknesses:
No way to mount to wall, can’t add another camera

We have been using this monitor for about a year now and we have had no issues with it at all. I originally wanted the 6000 for the bigger screen but now I don’t think that it was necessary at all as the screen on the 5000 is still pretty big and gives a clear picture both day and night. The sound quality is also good and I actually have to have the volume on quite low (even in the night) as it really amplifies my sons voice! I have found that the battery on the parent unit can last for most of the night but starts beeping when it’s running low so that you can plug it in again. I also really like the temperature display and was really helpful during the heatwave last summer. I am now pregnant again and would like to be able to add a second camera but I don’t think that that is possible.
Absolutely love this, my daughter has only recently in the last few months, started sleeping on her own, in her own room, and this has helped a great deal with that, with its great sound and the fact that I can look in and check up on her through the video feed is amazing,not to mention if she does fuss, then it has lullaby settings and a speaker to talk to her without going into the room. highly recommend
I have this on every night. The battery last long and the picture quality is great. Really easy to use and quiet when moving the camera . I had mine standing and mounted in to the wall. Sound is really good I can hear everything and the signal is very good. I've spent time out in the garden while my little one is napping . I can see as much as I want to with zoom and rotation of the camera with no delay. Only problem I have had is with the cables for the camera and monitor they don't last too long and had to use others but cannot get a replacement for the monitor it's self. Overall great product for the money and very very useful.

Great camera, the quality of the picture in the video is great. We haven't used the function but you can play lullabies and talk. Camera will only turn back on if it here's sufficient noise - which saves me staring at the screen! Also if you haven't quite placed the camera correctly you can move from the remote/Video screen. Only fault Is I can't balance it anywhere near the cot in our nursery, and I also can't find an attachment to buy to fit the camera to the cot... I do feel this is a fault. I will have to do a DIY job.
The camera, plays lullaby, 2 way talk back, has thw temperature on screen

I've only used it for about a week while staying at my mother's, it is a very handy monitor and was happy I could put my baby to bed and still see her to make sure she was alright. The only thing that concerns me is that after a while of using the monitor, the screen will turn off until I press a button. Ideally I'd like the screen to stay on.
Me and my partner were debating whether to get this or the 6000 with costs more we went for this one because the only difference we could find was the screen size. We use this monitor most days and it’s really good with talk back to the camera and night vision we love it
Love this monitor. Especially like the lullaby setting where you can play music in the nursery without having to go in. Picture is clear and sound quality good.
Soothing sounds are not so soothing. Camera doesn’t tilt down very far.

Baby monitor does what it’s supposed to do. The picture is clear and the sound is good. It picks up baby’s cry quickly. The nursery rhymes are not so soothing and quite robotic. The camera tilt isn’t the best but If you want a tilting all singing all dancing camera you can pay more.
Great product easy to use and picture is good quality, parents can speak to each other through handset. Only thing is hard to place as needs to be high up to see in to cot, also the battery life isn’t too great on the handset.
After a lot of research I got this as the price seemed good. I was not disappointed. After the fiddle of getting it in the right spot so the tilt and scan would be most appropriate I fitted it to the wall. My little girl understands it’s a monitor and she waves at me sometimes.
Great function like motion and sound detection and really easy to set up
The parent part battery is only 4 hours so it needs to be on charge all night then if your child naps you need to remember to bring the charger downstairs or it will run out for the afternoon nap!
All in all highly recommended
I recently got this monitor as my tommee tippee one stopped working it’s okay for the price but not amazing it is hard to place as the stand doesn't allow to go very low so you have to get creative if you look at it when light is staring too come in too the room you can’t see a thing which is frustrating but like I say it’s okay
This baby monitor is great. Being a first time mum, I wanted something affordable that would let me see my little one so I'd know whether I needed to go upstairs or if he was just rolling over - this monitor does just that. The screen is clear enough and shows the room temperature however occasionally the screen becomes very pixelated, perhaps due to signal? Most of the time, the camera stays connected to the parent device without a problem however, occasionally the signal will drop for no apparent reason and reconnect in a couple of seconds. There is a talk function to speak to baby (tested but not used at night yet) as well as the option to play lullabies.
The instructions are clear although it's difficult to navigate on the menu sometimes; it's a little like the cheat combinations you'd get on a game boy (right right left right up up down etc). The screen can be set to turn off after a good number of time periods and it is pretty good at sensing when baby is moving/making noise and turning on. Again, sometimes it turns on and I'm not 100% sure why but I suppose that's better than it not turning on at all! Battery life on the parent device is also good and doesn't take too long to charge either. Overall, a pretty good piece of kit that does what it says on the tin.

- Talk to baby
- Remotely move camera position
- Thermometer for Baby's room

You do need to read the instructions to figure out how to use all the features, but once you've learnt it all this monitor is really great.

Have had this product since my first was born, perfect for worried mums and dads without going in and disturbing the baby, the camera quality fails a little but all in all very handy.
Great monitor, easy to set up, easy to use, picture quality is good including at night, I like that it also tells you the temp of the room, you can also add multiple camera's to one handheld. Can also talk to little one through the monitor.
A good buy.
It's a little pricey but we are so glad we got it.

When moving out baby into his own room we knew we wouldn't be able to sleep unless we knew we could easily see him through a baby monitor to keep an eye. Probably one of the best buys for our little one! It's so quick and Easy to set up and use. We would have loved to have been able to buy an extra monitor so we can have one upstairs and one downstairs so we can always keep an eye. We love ours
The picture quality is fab and the signal range is amazing, i can take the monitor in to the garden or to clean the car out and still hear and see my baby.
Battery life is short and doesn’t show a clear picture in low light

Great monitor for the money! The camera has excellent night vision and helps to give a clear picture of baby without disturbing them. The talk option is helpful to soothe baby without making sleep associations of your presence. I love being able to see my baby at all times and be alerted quickly when she stirs.
Only strength is that I can see my baby on the monitor

I never used a video monitor with my first child but I did have a BT monitor which I loved the night light, lullabys and the sound quality was all amazing so was expecting this one to be just as good. However I was disappointed the sound is awful can barely here my child on it, the lullabys sound awful and are very loud.
The BT Video Baby Monitor is highly reassuring for babies and parents. It features 5 lullabies to send your baby off to sleep. The monitor comes with a 2.8 inch screen, temperature indication, sound level lights, remote control and a pan and tilt mechanism. Comes with a long range of 250m outdoors and 50m indoors so you don't miss a sound.
