Smart baby monitor recommendations please

Need a new monitor. I need it to have both a parent unit and to have app access. Using a tablet etc as a parent unit isn’t an option, it needs to come with a parent unit.

We’re currently on our 3rd BT Smart 5” Screen due to them being faulty and we will not be trying a 4th time.

Have looked at the VTech one and the Hubble but both seem to have terrible reviews regarding dropping connection.

Kodak cherish c525. Absolutely fab. We've got 2 cameras now attached to the one parent unit and have app access.

@Brunilde How do you find the connection? Is it reliable? I’ve seen some very mixed reviews on that too. We went with the BT one in the beginning because it was on the “best” lists and it’s bloody horrendous!

Never had a problem with the BT 6000, three floor house and connects perfectly.

@Livingmagicallyagain Thank you 😊 but I need a Smart one with app access too. The BT one we have is the Smart version of yours and it’s been horrendous for us unfortunately. The first one the battery was faulty and the 2 replacements we’ve just kept completely losing all sound on the parent monitor randomly so we can’t hear baby through the night on the monitor reliably.

We have the Hubble Connected and it's great! Using it for coming upto 8 months an no complaints!

A friend got it for us from Argos but think they are sold on Amazon too

thanks @FTM2022SS - I’ll have a look at this specific one. I had ruled out Hubble as the reviews seemed to be awful but I guess nobody tends to leave reviews unless they have an issue 😊

We only had issues to start with and complained. They ran a software update and we've had no issues since. Used for 3 years with one and just got a second. One of our best baby buys.

www.argos.co.uk/product/9420942/?clickOrigin=searchbar:productdetailssku:9420942 this is the one we have and absolutely no complaints from us. Can have two people logged into the App too so it's on my and my husbands phones but the parent unit is nice and big too!

We have the Vtech and it's been fine. Great picture on it.
