The VTech Digital Baby Monitor is the first half of my "smart" baby monitor system. This device is a functioning baby monitor, which is more than can be said about some other baby monitor systems out there. The VTech supports two parent units. This was a must have feature. We keep one parent unit in the bedroom and another in the living room. The volume is loud enough that between the two parent units, we can hear the baby's room from anywhere in the house.
The VTech microphone is phenomenal. It picks up the slightest noise. It is probably too sensitive for a baby monitor, but it doesn't bother me at all. It picks up footsteps from outside of the baby's room. The audio quality is great. The microphones on the parent units are really good as well. The battery doesn't seem like it can handle a full day of being on, so we keep them plugged in overnight. The LED lights that display amplitude are useful when you are trying to gauge how loud your child is being. So far, I am super pleased with the devices.
That being said, there are some bad reviews for the VTech. Most of them start out just like I sound in this review. They talk about how great the device functions. There seems to be a high rate of device failure a few months after being used. Since I have only used the devices for over a week now, I can't report on that. If the devices do fail, I will be sure to write another post, and update this post to mention the failure. In the mean time, I am very happy with the VTech Digital Baby Monitor.
