Smart Baby Monitor from VTech: A Must-Have for your Baby Nursery

Our Baby Everett is four months old today, and I’m excited to share a sneak peek of his baby nursery along with my top nursery essentials. Between our six kids, I think we have tried every gadget, every trend, and we’ve taken every precaution when it comes to safety. Not all baby items are created equal and not all are necessary. Today I’m sharing something I can’t go without, my VTech smart baby monitor, along with the common questions asked when it comes to choosing a baby monitor. Keep reading for details on the newest VTech Digital Video Monitor and why it is my choice for keeping tabs on our newest baby boy!

As years of motherhood have passed by, I continue to be amazed at how technology has changed and improved over the last decade. When I first became a mom, I remember feeling overwhelmed by some of the upcoming decisions we needed to make and the number of choices when creating a gift registry for our upcoming baby shower. Do you nurse or bottle feed? Which diaper choice is better? Which breast pump is best? Do we really need all this stuff?

With so many options on the market, I’m sure even choosing a baby monitor can be confusing. I’ve been through several over the last 10 years and I have loved my VTech monitors. Whether you have one child, or multiple children, we all want the comfort of knowing we have eyes and ears on our little ones day and night. VTech offers a full range of baby monitors with different functions that meet the needs of a family whether it is audio, video, wifi enabled, etc.

For our large family, we need to keep an eye on multiple children in different rooms. The VTech RM5764-2HD WiFi Remote Access Video Baby Monitor, that can be found at Target, has two cameras and a stylish design that not only looks great with my home design but the technology offers every function needed for a busy family like mine.

I’m blown away by the changes in just three years since we brought home our last baby. Our new VTech monitor detects motion, sound/crying, and has temperature alerts with notifications sent to the parent unit and your mobile device or tablet. I can be up to 1000 ft away and use the parent unit or my smart phone to adjust the motorized pan, tilt, and zoom function.

If my toddler has gotten out of her bed during nap, I can use the two-way talk function either from my phone or from the parent unit to encourage her to get back in bed. I can also use this function to call the kids downstairs for dinner, a win-win for this busy mom!

Fun fact, our VTech baby monitor earned the Women’s Choice Award. Knowing that other moms like me recommend it is just another great factor to keep in mind. I think it’s an award-winning baby monitor because of all the advanced functions mentioned above.

Common questions about smart baby monitors:

How do smart baby monitors work?

One of the functions I love most about our VTech Baby monitor is that it has so many smart functions. By downloading their free app, I can watch my baby from afar from my smartphone, I can watch both cameras at one time, and I can remotely turn on soothing lullabies. Another function I love is the motion recordings. The monitor keeps the last 160 events in the camera and based on 10-sec video clips at 720p HD resolution. The recording can be set for motion or sound/crying detecting.

Can you connect your phone or tablet to a VTech baby monitor?

Yes, the 1080p Full HD WiFi camera delivers sharp, crisp and clear video streaming to your smartphone or tablet. Simply add the system to your secure WiFi network and download the free MyVTech Baby 1080p app. The app can also record video to send to family or friends.

Where to put your baby monitor in nursery?

I have our monitor sitting on a nearby changing table, but you can also mount your monitor to your crib, sit it on a nearby bookshelf. The goal should be to get a great visual of your baby. I love that my VTech digital video monitor allows for 360-degree viewing, and tilts 152-degree up and down. It also has a digital zoom function as well.

How to mount your smart baby monitor in nursery?

The VTech baby monitors include a wall-mount bracket so you can easily mount your monitor so you can keep an eye on your baby.

How to link your VTech baby monitor?

Plug & Play – the 2 baby cameras and the parent unit are configured for local monitoring right out of the box. It took me just a couple of minutes to follow the easy instructions to set up the system.

Does the monitor offer a secure signal?

Yes, the camera feed is encrypted to ensure that the signal to and from the camera is kept private and secure.

With all the things on your list, I hope this smart baby monitor guide helps you as you find the right baby monitor for your family. Feel free to shoot me any other question you may have, I’d love to help you on your motherhood journey if I can!
