Baby monitor recommendations

[thattravelphotographer]

I can't see the wood from the trees with so much choice, so please help! I don't need it to be all singing all dancing - just something with a good camera and screen/phone connection whereby I can see the baby clearly, and hear when she is unsettled.

Thank you in advance 😊

Bumping this and I would like recommendations too. I was looking at the angelcare movement and video monitors.

We've got a BT one (BT5000 I think) which is really good - big screen, works well in the dark, easy to set up and move round.

we have motorola MBP36s or MBP36 i think, had it with our first 5y ago and will using it again now (still in working condition) with this pregnancy, was really happy with it.

We have a BT 5000 one too. Works fine and is very easy to set up. I like the fact that it doesn't need WiFi as it means we can take it with us on holiday plus the WiFi in our flat can be a bit dodgy.

We have the BT 6000 which is great

Nice to hear there's others that have the Motorola 5000 as this is what I've just bought from John Lewis! Yet to receive it so can't review it yet!

I'm a FTM too, going to get the BT 6000. Reviews all seem good and it doesn't work through WiFi as ours can be dodgy in the house.

BT do have a smart version of this that comes with the camera and parent unit but can be connected to a mobile app too, if that's a feature you're looking for.

We've just had the Cubo Ai delivered and I absolutely ADORE it! I watched a new mum review it on YouTube and did some research and it's brilliant. Plus they have a Father's Day deal on if you buy direct 🙂 added bonus, the camera is a cute little bird!

Good luck finding the one for you x

Thank you everyone for your suggestions, I will look into those you have recommended tonight.

Just to throw a thought in- if you have an old phone lying around I downloaded a free baby monitor on it- and connected my phone to it. It has a video, lullabies, alert system and you can view it all from your phone and speak to them too.
