Solid Choice

The VTech VM6361HD is a well-reviewed video baby monitor that offers impressive 720p HD video, a large 5.5-inch colour screen, and a host of useful features like pan/tilt camera, night light, and lullabies. While a few parents report short battery life, the majority find it a reliable, feature-rich option that makes keeping an eye on baby easy. It seems best suited for home use, with some noting challenges with the range in larger properties.

What parents love

Video and audio qualityParents praise the clear, high-definition video and two-way talk function, allowing them to see and communicate with their baby.
Soothing featuresThe night light, lullabies, and ambient sounds are appreciated for helping create a calming environment for baby's sleep.
Camera functionalityThe ability to pan, tilt, and zoom the camera is seen as very useful for keeping a close eye on baby's movements.

Worth knowing

Battery lifeSome parents report the monitor's battery drains quickly, requiring frequent recharging, which can be inconvenient.
Night light projectionA few users find the night light projection feature to be static and not as engaging as they'd hoped.
Range limitationsWhile the monitor has a good indoor range, some struggle with connectivity in larger homes or when moving between floors.

Best for

  • Families with smaller homes or flats
  • Parents who value video quality and soothing features

May not suit

  • Families with large multi-storey homes
  • Those who need very long battery life between charges

Tips from parents

Before You Buy

Consider the size of your home and whether the monitor's range will be sufficient to cover all the areas you need.

Getting the Most Out of It

Experiment with the night light and sound settings to find the combination that best soothes your baby.

Safety Note

Ensure the camera is securely mounted and out of reach of curious little hands.
