Baby monitor ? Help

8 replies

There are so many. I cant afford the nanit, even though it looks amazing.

Ideally want to spend £50. Mayyyybe up to £100 of its really worth it.

I need it to have a camera, and feel weird about just relying on it via phone so a physical screen to watch/hear on would be good too.

Any recommendations?xx

This thread is quite old now so some of the suggestions may be out of date, but if you’ve landed here looking for baby monitor recommendations, we’ve recently updated our best baby monitors page with lots of great options, as tried and tested by Mumsnet users. We hope you find it useful.

BT 5000 baby monitor is £100. Has screen and video, doesn't connect to phone, doesn't rely on Wi-Fi. You can swivel the camera remotely which is helpful as well.

Do you need a camera? Atleast parents lasted for decades without one!

We were overwhelmed by all the baby monitors and didn’t have much to spend on one so we bought the BT 400 Audio Baby Monitor. It’s currently £25 in Argos

I got a little elf camera and connected it to my echo show. £20 well spent. Also have the £20 plug in audio monitors for in my bedroom so I can hear in the night.

I have this one and i like it. Ignore the version that has the smartphone app (its rubbish). The standard one is fine. Clear picture and decent size screen.

Another vote for BT.

The first one I bought was AMAZING but they don't do anything like it anymore however they are good and don't connect to internet didn't want our images to end in a weird website.......

We have a BT video one. Have had it since my toddler was born and no issues. Moved toddler into own room to free up nursery for the baby but felt uncomfortable not being able to check he's OK. Bought a cheap video monitor off amazon and its just as good except the monitor is a bit smaller. Only £30. Can't remember name I'll come back and post a pic shortly

I have the VTech VM320 Video 2.4inch Baby Monitor which I picked up in September and get on really well with it :) not sure it's still available but vtech do some affordable video ones!
