Still works perfectly after about 2.5 years
We haven't had any problems with this baby monitor. Purchased about 2.5 years ago from Babies R Us and the battery and camera quality are still excellent. The 4 lights on the left hand side make it easy to tell if the monitor is muted or fully charged without needing to press any buttons. When we sometimes accidentally drop the parent unit, the battery can pop out but we just pop it back in and have had no worries. Battery in the parent unit lasts all day (we have it on the screen mute function where the screen is black and only lights up when ...Read more
bub cries). The range is great, it picks up signal from the backyard no problem. I also recently bought an Oricom 710 (secondhand) and the infrared picture quality was so much better on the vtech. If I need to buy another monitor I'd definitely get a vtech.Purchased at Toys R Us / Babies R Us for $99.00.

Amazing Service.
We use a Vtech baby monitor in our granddaughters room and we have used it for about a year or so. The other day the parent unit stopped connecting to the main unit. I called their service number and the level of service was nothing but amazing. The lady whom I spoke to understood the problem with the unit and gave me a postage paid RMA number to send it to Vtech for repair. As promised three days later the units have arrived and the work order says the units were replaced.
How great is to deal with a manufacturer like this. They have won a customer for life.

It was great! Until the screen stop working.
I am not happy with the monitors video screen. It has completely stopped working and still I have no conclusion to the whatever the matter is. Everything else works fine other the screen which is completely black and sometimes flashes white. Before the screen stopped working i was happy as Larry.

Best performing camera but wont last long
The camera itself works perfectly amazing. The video is great,very clear. it even shows the temperature of my baby's room,it alarms when it's above or below normal. The volume,the music and all the features are excellent.
However, you will end up with nothing once the warranty is gone. The charger always gets broken. Within just 2 months of use,we had to have the unit replaced coz its not charging anymore. We thought it was because we might have placed or positioned it where the the wires could have snap. But the first time we had it replac...Read more
ed,we actually took good care of it,making sure that we charge it properly. Another 2months passed,and its not charging again!!! So once the warranty is gone, we cannot ask for any replacemt anymore. It's so sad to think about that coz the camera and the whole unit works great if it wasn't for the charger that keeps breaking.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Solid Performer
Picture quality very good (compared to other cheaper ones we've had), the zoom function is excellent (actual zoom, not just enlargement of pixels) and reception great all around our house. Wanted to note that we contacted VTech to confirm that the BM3210 and BM3110 additional cameras would pair with the BM3000 remote unit, and they got back to us within a day with a confirmation. Upon testing, the additional camera does pair. Saved us buying a complete new monitor set.

Would be satisfied if I only needed 1 monitor
I agree with the frustration of another reviewer... No sound when 2 cameras are on. You can only listen out for 1 camera at a time which makes it useless for nighttime when you have a baby and a toddler that might need you. We now need to purchase a second monitor so we can hear both kids. Not a good option for anyone needing more than 1 functioning camera/monitor at a given time.

Functional, Adjustable and a Pretty Clear Picture
I purchased this model after my previous Baby monitor gave in (after a week of use).
There are SO many features and settings on this monitor, trying to read all the info on how to set it all up and everything was a bit taxing when you're a sleep derpived mumma. But, once you've managed to absorb the info operating it is easy!
First, the monitor picture is spectacular (especially compared to my previous monitor). In a well lit room the picture is colour, in the dark it is black and white and still quite clear.
The battery life is durable, I h...Read more

Love it other then a single fault
We love our monitor, its easy to use, has great picture quailty, sound quailty is great, different functions to suit many needs and make the unit fantastic in different environments. Have had it for almost a year now and love it other then it losing signal on parent unit at the same time every single night.... can not work out why between 11:30pm-12:30am signal is constantly dropping out yet is fine any other time of the day in the exact same spot :/ but over all very reliable unit and has definetly given me peace of mind at night. Also love ho...Read more

Camera unit stopped working after 6 months
Overall the baby monitor was working OK. Its quite basic and never had any problems until 6 months the camera unit stopped working.
Tried to get a replacement unit from Toys R Us, but they refused and kept asking me to call Vtech. After escalating the issue with Toys R Us, I managed to get them to replaced the power adapter that goes to the Baby camera. Still a hassle to try to get things fixed with Toys R Us.

Dependable....perfect!
Yes, this monitor, besides it's affordable, it is also dependable, we can freely do our house chores, or whatever is there to do. Just hang it on the waist and WALAH! It is so easy to use and it doesn't run out of battery power, well........ because it is rechargeable, it is always charged. Nothing to worry about buying or running out of battery power.

Could be excellent if the power leads weren't rubbish.
I think this is a great monitor & could be even greater if the power leads wouldn't always snap. Both the image & sound quality are excellent. I found it easy to set up. I would love to say that it is reliable however I've had to replace the leads twice now. Vtech were helpful in that they replaced my monitor & cord with a new one. The cord has since broken again so I've had to purchase a universal power cord from another source. If it weren't for the cords I would rate it 5 stars

4.5 stars. Very happy
Bought this when bubs started rolling and I wanted to know if he was stuck or just still self settling before I went in to his room. I read a few bad reviews before purchasing but the fact you could get a second camera topped me over and purchased this for around $140 at Harvey Norman. Easy to set up just had to stuff around a bit for the camera view from the ceiling. I wouldn't say the mic is perfect but we are happy and would reccomend. Especially for the price. If anyone knows if you can pair a 3100 camera with a 3000 unit please let me know. Or do I have to buy another 3000? (Only cause the 3100 is on special at the moment)

Not as good quality as their toys
Was happy with the product initially.its lasted less than 12 months. The adapter broke at both ends. The parent unit won't remain connected to the baby unit despite having done initially. Now it cuts in and out as it tries to connect. Bought the BM2500 model. Got less than I paid for. Range is even less in my house, image is barely visible in night mode. Sound cuts in and out, temperature reads 3 degrees less than the unit old unit next to it.

We've had two break just months after buying
After our Uniden monitor broke a couple of months outside of warranty, we decided to give the VTech a go.
I'll start with the positives:
- Great image quality
- Easy set-up
- Simple to use parent unit
Unfortunately for us though, that's where the positives end. After one month, the wiring in the parent unit charger cable became exposed, and soon after the plug that goes into the parent unit snapped clean off. I contacted VTech customer service who told me they don't do spare parts and I needed to return the whole thing to Big W for rep...Read more
lacement. I was disappointed as it seems a real waste to have to return the whole thing when a simple cable could have been replaced. Our second one lasted just under three months, then the exact same thing happened. I took it back for a refund this time, as I figured it would just keep happening as it seems to be a fault with the model.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Best video monitor
So happy with this as my 2nd monitor purchase!! Initially
I bought an angelcare one for my first baby and after all that money it hasn't even made it to two years!
Vtech is so easy to use and video is very clear. Music is fab as puts baby to sleep every time too. their customer service is great too and will honour their warranty. Highly recommend and under $100 is a great price.

VOX Level 5 is Pointless
It has been a struggle trying to find what we want in baby monitors. The multi camera setups don't allow audio when in scan mode or multi screen mode, and when in VOX mode they only pick up sounds from last active camera. And NO baby monitor picked up movement (so if someone was inside you childs bedroom, being silent you would never know).
So instead we decided on two separate units. Vtech customer service assured us two of these units would not interfere (so did Uniden btw. Oricom advised NOT to use two separate units).
Anyway, this mo...Read more
del works fine sure, reception good ect. But the problem is the sensitivity. We wanted it on the highest, level 5, in the hope that the rustling of clothes would be heard, or at least the slightest whimper. Well all it does is leave the microphone on. VOX mode DOES not work with level 5. You can turn the screen off, but it will never turn back on as VOX mode kicks in after 20 seconds of silence. But since the microphone is always on (even with NO sounds in the house) the screen will never react. At level 4 the child has to be making a fair sound for it to be picked up. Tossing and turning in bed won't do it. Disappointed at this but best of a bad bunch. The plus side is no sound when the camera turns on.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Meets my needs
Purchased this baby monitor after reading positive reviews and haven't been disappointed.
Have been using for about 7 months now on a daily basis. Gives me peace of mind when bub is sleeping. Like being able to adjust the sound volume, using the zoom button and having the option to talk over.
Customer service is also excellent. About a month ago the power adaptor cable of the parent unit (monitor) had the wires exposed (near the plug into the parent unit) from the plastic and eventually became detached.
I emailed Vtech at night and the next morning got an email advising they would send a replacement cable straight away. Happily continuing to use every day.

Pointless having 2 cameras!!
I bought this unit as it came with 2 cameras and I planned to use one in my toddler's room and one in my baby's room. However, even though the parent unit can show me a picture of what both children are doing, I can only get sound from one camera. This is so disappointing as it means I can't use it over night to listen out for both children!! Completely useless!

Ok but wouldn't buy it again.
Had problems with the audio cutting out so sent it back. When returned one part of the unit had been replaced however still had the same issue. This concerned me so I contacted vtech and was sent an entire new kit. Third time lucky and the pic and sound seems a lot better HOWEVER the sound still seems to shut off until baby starts making enough noise. I have music playing in the room and this can not be heard through the monitor, all of a sudden after baby makes crying sounds for a few seconds it kicks back in. Really not pleased with this.

't know if I'm having terrible luck with the monitor or if this is supposed to happen. I thought being that it was backed by SIDS kids it would be amazing however I wish I had of spent more money on another brand. Thankfully I only use this mostly in the day as baby still sleeps in my room at night. Not sure how confident I am using this when she moves to her own room though and unfortunately may need to spend more money on another one. Lullabys are a nice touch however only seems to last approx 10min. Would be great it if lasted longer rather than cutting out just as I'm putting baby into cot. Room temperature reading is a positive. Battery power sucks on the camera. Not sure how else to say it but yeah, it sucks. I always have to have he camera plugged into the wall no matter what type of batteries I get it doesn't last long at all. Sometimes it's literally under 20min and I have to plug in. I dont mind this monitor but definitely don't love it. Have to comment that vtech staff I have spoken to over the phone have been friendlySimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Questions & Answers
TMTasked
I have misplaced the monitor screen unit somewhere in my house. Is there a function on the camera base that I can use to locate the monitor?
1 answer
From what I know the base needs to be plugged in and you can use the talk button from the parent unit to locate the base. Thanks.

We already have one unit and camera BM300. We just purchased a second camera (same model) to set up in a different room. When i pair the second camera the first camera automatically unpairs (i tried to make camera 1 and camera 2). How can i set both up to be paired to one parent unit so i can switch between the two cameras?
