20 Best Baby Monitor For 2 Rooms (2023 Updated)

These work great. Especially loved the paging and the 2-way talk features. I actually used them for my mother while I was taking care of her during her cancer treatments. I put her’s on the bed’s headboard using a command hook, where we were able to keep it plugged in at all times.

She could easily reach it to page me if she needed/wanted something. The range was pretty good as we were on different floors of my home. I could go out in the yard or on my back deck and was still able to listen out for her.

The monitor has different sensitivity settings which worked well. I also liked the monitor clip. I could wear it on my shirt or pants if I was walking around. Also liked the battery charger display and warning so I knew when it needed to be plugged back in for charging.

It can get some static, but it was never bad. I don’t know any baby monitor that is 100% crystal clear at all times. I didn’t hear much cross interference. It would definitely screech if the monitors got too close together.

I usually had the monitor clipped to me most of the time and would get feedback when quickly going into my mother’s room with it on me. It has an out of range warning and it will actually tell you if it can’t find or not connecting to the other monitor.

I would give it 5 stars, but the instructions and how all the different settings work is a bit confusing at first. Other than that, it’s a great set and I would recommend this monitor. As I side note…… I also used it for my husband after he had his appendix taken out.

He could page me if he was in pain or wanted a snack. The baby monitor worked great for this big baby! lol.

We’ve been very pleased with this system. We live in a 800sf apartment and getting a video monitor just seemed like overkill. We use a white noise machine and/or a floor fan in her room and we can clearly hear her when she makes her stirring/waking up noises.

The range has worked great, that’s actually a big reason we got this brand. I’ll take it across the apartment into our bathroom or closet and can hear any noise she makes clear as a bell. A friend of mine has this and when we were bridesmaids at a home wedding.

Her son was asleep in the house on the second floor and she had the parent unit outside and across the lawn in the reception tent. It was a little fuzzy at that distance, but could hear him when he woke up and started crying.

The talk feature has been nice too…also fun for messing with my husband when he’s in her room (lol). Giving 4 stars because I wish the parent unit batteries lasted longer. If you start with a full charge, it’ll last maybe 9 or 10 hours not plugged in before you get the low battery beep alert.

For a traditional non-video unit, I’d highly recommend.

If you’re like us and don’t want to hear every sound your kid makes, this is the baby monitor for you. My wife and I enjoy our sleep but we obviously worry about our daughter throughout the night since our bedroom is on the opposite end of the house.

We have a Nanit for video and audio but with our phones on sleep mode, notifications don’t make noise. This monitor is great because it makes no noise until your child makes a decently loud cry. We have our monitor on level 1 so she has to cry for several seconds before the low volume will wake us up.

Our daughter is a fantastic sleeper so we have a slight advantage but we’ve gotten her to that level by letting her cry it out several different times. She has learned to soothe herself and go back to sleep.

She’s sleeps from around 7:45 pm to 7am. Anyways, I’d highly recommend this monitor but I would suggest having a video monitor as well so you can see your child.

Product is nice – if it continues to work and doesn’t break again. It stopped working after probably only 5 uses. We put away and didn’t use Bc I held my first baby all the time. I realized it didn’t work any more when I got pregnant for my second, figuring we would need to definitely use a monitor this time around given I have a toddler.

Very busy, didn’t get around to calling manufacturer and turns out they had a 1 year warranty. I was 2 days outside my warranty by the time I called- they agreed to replace, which was very nice of them and for that reason will give infant optics 4 star.

I did remove a star due to the fact it shouldn’t have broke after such little use and because although they replaced it, I still had to pay $40 in shipping to do so. Can’t complain much given it technically was 2 days outside the warranty but I had found it long ago.

Had I known about a warranty prior I would have called immediately and it would have been less than 6 months since purchase. So that part was very frustrating. Felt like they should have paid for shipping for warranty replacement and maybe they do if within side the window of 1 year.

But for being 2 days shy and not paying shipping kinda sucked. Overall good product and actually very good customer service. Would buy again.

I truly have few complaints about these! The cords are lengthy for tricky plugs, they’re very lightweight and well designed for clipping or pockets, excellent range and battery life, and they pick up EVERYTHING.

The volume adjustment is great! One tiny thing I despise about them is: when you plug the parent units in, they turn on, and I often have to stand there and wait until they’ve synced with the monitor to turn them off (I typically plug them in to let them charge).

A minor inconvenience, yes, but it truly irritates this mom!.

Not worth getting because if you would like to actually hear, you won’t with this item. From less than a foot away you cannot hear voices, you cannot hear a TV that is 3 feet away on high, or the door 4ft away.

You can hear only when they scream next to it after a moment of silence, but in a loud environment it can’t pick up nothing but what’s being talked directly into it. Even in a quiet place it picks up onlyyy was extremely loud.

It’s just all together not worth it, you can’t even hear when you put it next to your ear it’s ridiculous. I’ve contacted the manufacturer and they sent me some bogus generic email even though I gave them the correct item number they still sent me instructions for an item completely different than mine even after I attached photos! This shoty monitor will be returned and I’m adamant to let everyone know that regardless of the high amount of stars it receives in reviews this is not something that you would like to purchase.

If you actually care to hear for your child, bypass this. I will never again think of VTEC as a choice.

This is a very basic, no frills model. It doesn’t have video, just audio. It does work really well though. The range is far enough to reach anywhere around the house. The sound is clear and we have no issues with static or interference.

It stays charged for a good while too. If you want a basic, affordable monitor, this is a good option.

It was exactly as described. It came with one montior and two cameras. They have an absolutely great picture quality, very good sound quality, and they have a very decent range. I can lie my youngest daughter down for a nap and still be on the other side of the house and see her.

It has a very convenient little kickstand on the back of the monitor in case you are cooking or doing something with your hands and can’t lift it up to look at it, you can prop it up so you can see your little one with just a glance.

Both cameras cover a decent amount of area. The night vision and normal camera mode have an absolutely great image quality to them. The only thing that I am unsure of it it works properly or not would be the temperature reading.

It has not moved off of 72/73°f since opening the package and my indoor thermometer in the same room will read a noticable difference. The white noise and 4 lullaby songs don’t have the greatest sound, and I wish I could adjust the volume a little more.

The soft warm Night Light option is great. its just enough to softly illuminate her face and not so bright that it wakes her. I also love that I can hear her and she can hear me. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this purchase.

We did a lot of research on baby monitors before purchasing the Miku, and it exceeded all of our expectations. It was by far the camera / baby monitor with the most features. We love that all the sleep tracking is automatic without wearables! The Miku is able to detect when you put your baby down, how long it takes for them to fall asleep, how long they slept for, when a caretaker helps the baby out, and more.

All the statistics, details, and insights are extremely helpful in helping us decide if we need to make adjustments to how we put our baby down to sleep. It is also very nice that this monitor does not require a subscription to receive the insights.

This gives us peace of mind when we aren’t actively watching the baby on a camera or in person. It will detect how many breaths per minute and also alert you if the baby stops breathing. It is very easy to set up (both the hardware and software/app).

The app is very intuitive and both my husband and I have it installed and set up to monitor our baby. There are so many bonus features that we love as well. When viewing the app we’re also constantly looking at the temperature and humidity that the Miku reports so that we can make adjustments to the room.

Great purchase!.

This baby monitor has given me nothing but issues since the day I purchased. Buyers who purchase this 500$ baby monitor are obviously wanting to do more then just watch their baby sleep, we are wanting to accurately check our babies respiration’s to get some piece of mind.

This monitor has never provided that for me. This monitor takes me at least 2 tries to get running when I put my baby down, the app will tell me, video disconnected, please wait your device will be back shortly or unable to connect.

I have to close the app and re open multiple times. When the monitor finally connects it will disconnect at any moment, how is someone supposed to be alerted that their baby isn’t breathing if the monitor cannot stay connected for the entire night? I have emailed tech support many times regarding issues and they have tried to trouble shoot and ultimately blamed my wifi, however I have attempted to use the monitor with LTE data and still have the same issues.

Another issue I had was that anytime I would turn the alerts on, I would close the app and go back and they would be off. Miku said this was a common issue and they were working on releasing and updated app.

If your monitor wasn’t going to alert people that their child wasn’t breathing shouldn’t this be something you notify your costumers of prior to them inquiring. Right now I am using this monitor as a 499$ sound machine.

Save your self the money and the hassle. It will not provide any piece of mind.

The image quality and connectivity are great but navigating through the menu is not very intuitive. There are options for white noise and music but unfortunately the volume on these cannot be regulated at either end.

It is usually too loud for baby and also for us, sitting on the other side of the baby monitor. Would not be able to watch TV for example when the music is on as it is too loud. The camera offers lots of flexibility with a wide angle a full swivel.

Overall a very good baby monitor.

I’ve had this monitor for 2 years now and it’s still going strong. I did a lot of research before purchasing this and I wasn’t disappointed. It’s well worth the money. I love that you’re able to connect it to an app on your phone.

It’s great when you leave your little one with a babysitter and also great for when you go on a trip and only bring the camera. The sound is great and I love that I can talk to my child through the monitor.

It also has pretty decent range. I do wish that when the temperature is too high or low in the room that the monitor would alert you via sound. With that said, we had an incident where the heating system wasn’t working right and it got incredibly hot in my sons room, I wasn’t aware until I heard him fussing in the middle of the night and the temperature read “HH” in red (it’s typically stated in a blue color).

I was able to quickly get my son out and turn off the heat and get him to cool down. I am incredibly grateful for this monitor and I would recommend it hands down to anyone who asked.

We really love these cameras!! The power cord does come out somewhat easy, only sometimes when you move it, but that’s no big deal. The picture is really good. It’s usually in Night Vision when we use it and the picture is still great.

It has really neat features. We can play sounds for baby using the camera to ease her to sleep. We haven’t used it yet but we can speak to baby through the camera as well. We did test it and the sound comes across very clearly.

I especially like the temperature alarm feature. During the winter, I love that it will alert me if it reaches above or below set temps. We did have an issue initially connecting to the cameras but that was user error.

If you press the Ok button it switches camera to camera. We weren’t aware of this and couldn’t see our camera. It’s super easy to use and we are so thankful to have it!!.

We got the camera and handset as a gift and it worked wonderfully until about 3 months. The camera just stopped working and won’t turn on. Technical support hung up on me when I said it doesn’t have a reset button (it really doesn’t!) and then proceeded to hang up on me 2 more times before I even talked to someone.

Hoping to either get my money back or a replacement but the website I was given when someone finally did talk to me didn’t work.

feedback: I really do enjoy using the baby cam/monitor. What makes this different from other baby monitors ive used is the clip on the baby monitor which is a huge plus when moving around the house. Another great thing i like is the range it provides.

I live in a 2 story home so the baby sleeps upstairs while i cook and clean downstairs. I am really satisfied and already recommended it to a few new mommies as well.

VM5255-2 Digital Video Pan Scan Baby Monitor with Adaptive Night Light [ Pros ] + Works for monitoring big babies too (aka elderly that require 24/7 care) + No internet required + Good/strong wifi range (medium sized house) + Little to no wifi signal interferance + Easy to learn/use (Instructions not overwhelming) + Dual cam / Split screen option + Sound trigger (Multiple level options) + Briefly auto-unmute (if muted) after using talk/mic + Infrared night mode + Music/Lullabies (plus timer options) + Nightlight (plus color and timer options) + Temparature readings (plus alerts) [ Cons ] – No time trigger to automatically check every so often – No motion trigger – Hard to find sweet spot for sound trigger (probably perfect for monitoring babies as intended) – Does not auto-unmute upon sound trigger – Communicating with speaker is like walkie-talkies (again, probably perfect for monitoring babies) – Recharge daily / inconsistent battery reading – Camera panning not smooth/consistent – Camera doesn’t move up/down unless zoomed in – Limited timer options (No custom input) – Menu options not arranged ideally [ Review ] I tested this baby monitor to monitor the big elderly babies that we care for 24/7.

Not exactly designed for that end of the age spectrum, but the concept is roughly the same, right? RIGHT??? In general, it does the job. Not perfectly, but better than attempting to remember to get up off my lazy butt every several minutes to check on TWO elderly family members in different rooms (and floor) of the house.

For context, we used one camera to monitor a stubborn person with Parkinson’s (stage 4) and the other camera to monitor someone with dementia that cannot walk. The first thing I like about this is monitor is that it doesn’t require internet.

Our router/modem lose connection quite a bit so the internet is not reliable. We also don’t need remote access nor the ability to broadcast to other relatives. (So if that’s what you want, stop reading and close the browser tab.

) The wifi range was strong everywhere inside out house–no need to release the antenna. When I used the big vacuum to clean the house, though, that did cause interference. Microwave and wifi internet did not affect the signal.

The next thing I like is how the instructions are not overwhelming. Jumping right into using the parent unit was easy to figure out. (Mostly. Did have to refer to manual for some options. ) I want to say that this is very easy to use / learn to use, but it will probably be hard for someone that has a hard time learning how to use new devices.

(If you’re technologically challenge, that would include you. ) Not important, but the default order of the menu options is less than ideal. You would think frequently used features would be listed first.

(Is screen brightness really something you have to adjust a gazillion times? I set it to the lowest and it’s already blindingly bright enough no matter which room I walk into. ) This model comes with two cams, so it makes sense for the parent unit to be able to view both cameras at the same time.

It can also alternate between the two cams every few seconds, or just focus on one camera. Moving the camera (via parent unit’s control) felt either jerky or too fast, and it doesn’t move up/down (unless zoomed in).

Zooming in only zoomed in slightly. The cameras have infrared vision for night mode and a handy temperature reading/alert. I don’t use the temp alerts, but being able to see the rooms’ temps is handy.

Keeping the monitor on all the time feeling like wasting the battery when nothing is happening (. sleeping. ) so there is an option to let the screen turn back on via sound trigger. (It does not unmute the parent unit if set on mute though.

) I found it incredibly hard at deciding what sound level to set the trigger at because both cameras are right next to the TVs. (Actual babies won’t have TV in their room, right? But if you’re gonna have some sort of varied background noise nearby instead of complete silence, you’ll get what I mean.

) The family member with Parkinson’s sometimes can call for us loudly, but other times his voice is very weak. I wish there was a motion trigger (with different levels) as well. Because in one instance he fell down, and I didn’t even know it until someone else walking into the room and saw him on the floor.

(so much for me monitoring him. Obviously the sound trigger didn’t help here. ) I also wish there’s an option to have the screen turn on every few minutes. Remembering to manually check when my attention is preoccupied is hard! (Keeping screen on isn’t helpful since my eyes will eventually ignore it unless it flickers or something.

I could set unit to alternate cams but that ended up being too distracting. ) With the way I currently use the parent unit, I have to recharge it daily. The battery doesn’t completely drain, but I rather have it working then dying on me.

Also noticed that the battery reading is kind of inconsistent. At night I turn parent unit off thinking I don’t have to recharge it, then the next morning it will drop 1 or 2 bars. The only instance it didn’t drop was when the unit was fully charge (to the point of being still plugged in) before turning it off.

Like speaking into another room? There’s a talk feature! How handy! Though not as handy as I initially hoped for. (Stubborn Parkinson’s person will just tell us to go downstairs to him. -__- ) But at least we–the able-bodied family members–can speak to each other about what’s going on without yelling up/down the stairs.

(Walkie-talkie style. Can’t listen while speaking. ) By default I keep the parent unit on mute (reminder, camera right next to the TVs), so I like that the volume will automatically unmute after hitting the Talk button.

What I don’t like is that you can’t set what the volume to unmutes to. (Defaults to medium. ) If volume isn’t adjusted and no further speaking via talk button happens, the parent unit will automatically go mute after a few seconds.

(Again, only if it was muted previously. ) One of the fun features for the cameras is the nightlight. There’s an array of colors to pick from (red is the default right out of the box) but that’s boring.

Rainbow is the way to go! (Not literally a rainbow. One color fades to the next color. ) The strength of the nightlight can also be adjusted to correspond with the room’s ambient lighting (stronger when darker) and can automatically turn off with the timer options.

To go with the nightlight, there’s also music! Several lullabies are available to choose from or simply cycle through them all. The lullabies are played on a xylophone or something similar sounding and quite boring.

(Won’t put adults to sleep though. ) The sound detection will treat the music as sound, so keep that in mind. As with the nightlight, there are timer options available. For the timer on both of these features, custom input is not an option.

Choose from on/off, 15 min, 30 min, or 60 min. The night light also has an option where it’ll turn off after 15 min of no sound detection. When trying these features out, I found them entertaining (the “just for fun” aspect) but mostly useless for our purposes.

(Again, cameras are right next to the TVs that runs from breakfast time till we put them to bed. ) But for the intended babies these were designed for, I imagine they’ll be features worth using. TL;DR: Dual cam baby monitor with split screen monitor serves pretty well for monitoring elderly family members.

While not ideal in our case, it should serve very well for monitoring actual babies.

Wish we’d gotten this a long time ago! Only complaints: I wish the resolution was a bit better, and I wish it the receiver could control tilt (vertical) and not just pan (horizontal). Still though, it’s great! We have the cameras in two rooms upstairs, and the receiver is downstairs.

No connection issues at all! The cameras are pretty quiet when you’re panning so your kids shouldn’t notice. I bought this set specifically for the split screen mode, but we use the full screen rotating view mode mostly, because the split screen mode only understandably has to chop off a quarter of the view on each side.

Would be fine except we have two kids in one of the rooms and we need the full screen to see both. Love the ability to talk 2 way, play music, turn on night light, temperature monitoring, etc. Amazing at this price!.

I have very mixed feelings on this monitor, as it has quite a few great qualities but needs some improvement as well. The monitor is very easy to set up, but I did find the mount to look very big and bulky.

The monitor is also simple to use, and has many great features including a nightlight and music that my kids love, and the ability to check the temperature in the room. The monitor screen is nice and large, and the picture is great in both daylight and night vision.

It does seem to lose connectivity frequently though, and I typically have to keep the antenna up at all times. The biggest downfall of this monitor is that it cannot move up and down at all. Because my children are a bit older and my two boys share a bedroom, we prefer a monitor that can move to view the whole room.

With the lack of ability to adjust the cameras, there are many blind spots in the room and we are unable to see both boys’ beds regardless of where we place the camera. The wire to plug the camera in is very short as well, which makes it even more difficult to find a place for optimal viewing as our house does not have many outlets.

This monitor has great potential, and would work well for an infant who is still in their crib, but unfortunately it just does not work well for our situation.
