Great quality, easy to set up baby camera!
We wanted an easy to use baby camera that didn’t rely on Wi-Fi. Based on reviews, this seemed to be the best option.
The camera comes with clear instructions and is therefore very easy to set up. You have to charge the parent unit for 12 hours prior to first use which wasn’t a problem for us but something to be aware of if you are hoping to use it on the day it is delivered.
The picture quality is good – about what you’d expect for a product like this. There are lots of useful features – two way talk, temperature sensor, lullabies and zoom/tilt.
It’s exactly what we needed to give us a little bit of freedom in the evenings!
Sanity save
Thankfully, this monitor doesn’t transmit every tiny sound. Our baby is a very loud sleeper, with lots of grunts and other noises, when he’s asleep and doesn’t need us. Those sound don’t come through, and we can finally sleep! Then, with louder sound (ie crying) the monitor “kicks on” and the sound comes through and screen comes on. The noise level to trigger the monitor doesn’t seem adjustable (except by changing the distance from the baby unit to the cot, I suppose), but the level seems perfect, so I haven’t found that to be a problem. When you change the volume setting, you’re just adjusting how loud things will sound on the parent end, (not the level at which it kicks on).
The main thing I don’t like is that even at the lowest setting, the screen is blindingly bright, and the shortest time it can be set to stay on after it comes on (either due to baby noise or due to pressing a button on the parent end), is 1 minute. This means after baby triggers the monitor, or after I press the button in the middle of the night to have a quick look at baby, our room is quite bright for a while. I’ve started throwing a cloth over it, when I step out to go get baby, to reduce the odds of the bright light disturbing my partner’s sleep, and then I remove the cloth when I come back to bed (so the light will help me wake next time).
Overall, I’m very happy with this monitor, and feel it has helped us maximise our sleep!
If you use white noise…
We really like this monitor. It works brilliantly. The parent unit is nice and big with a big clear screen and the picture quality is great! We particularly like the fact that you can rotate and move the camera remotely via the parent unit something some other ones don’t do! What I would say is if you use white noise, the sound on the parent unit cuts in and out, picking up the noise. The picture stays off though. The sound could be disturbing if parents are trying to sleep and you have the parent unit on, hearing it cutting in and out. We don’t know yet as our baby is still in with us. Just worth knowing. Not sure if there is anything that can be done to change that.
Great baby monitor!
We both really love this video monitor! The night vision is great, so clear and adapts really well to all kinds of day light. Babys room is in the middle of the house so the range works well enough. The battery life isn’t great but we leave it plugged in most of the time and isn’t a problem for us. The volume is great and turns down enough to still hear the baby overnight! Would recommend this to everyone!
Fantastic produc
This is a great product. We use it every night, it’s got a great camera and screen, very clear and reliable. I have had a few baby monitors and this is by far my favourite and I highly recommend the product. We did use it in a cottage where it struggling to pick up the signal in certain places in the house but the distance was quite far. We have no problems in our home.
Couldn't be bette
Great feature list, reasonable cost & really nice feel/build.
Far better than the Motorola one we had & the other one that we’ve just returned as it was useless.
Does everything you need in a easy to use, quality fashion.
Highly recommended
Swapped it for something else
Although this performed acceptably, I swapped it for the cheaper vtech because 1. When baby moves around, it’s just a blur on the screen. Ultimately I wasn’t happy with the picture quality for the price 2. Found the temperature indicator to be out by a couple of degrees. 3. I didn’t especially need the remote panning capability that I’m assuming you pay extra fo
Brilliant baby monitor.
Was sceptical about this as some of the reviews on here weren’t very good. Took a chance anyway and I was glad I did. This baby monitor is fab. Easy to navigate and the picture quality is absolutely fine. We’ll worth the money.

Impressed
I’m really happy with this monitor, good picture and sound. Battery life could be a bit better. Really easy to use. Good talk through. Great to monitor temperature.
Top ki
It’s been in use for nearly 12 month’s & is really top stuff clear sound & picture (b&w) good size babies parents really like this kit – it works the screen can be put anywhere say on the table while dinning in the office I’d say a must have for piece of mind – we bought it as a gift & was well received & appreciated.
Fantastic monito
I’ve been using this monitor for 18 months now, it’s great, the big screen is brilliant, one of the reasons I chose this one, others seemed so small, you can get a clear view of baby and change the angle/direction of the camera with the remote control buttons on the monitor so wherever baby rolls about to you can see them, I use the camera in a flexi camera holder which goes with it perfectly to set up the best view over the cot.
The night vision is very clear, you can change brightness and magnification very easily to get the best picture.
Has a good range, I can go out in the garden whilst baby naps and it still works fine and the battery lasts for ages when it’s charged.
Overall it’s very simple to set up and use, would say the lullaby’s aren’t great but that’s probably the only thing I don’t like about it.
Love it!
This probably the best purchase I have made for my little one. Shes 6 months old and I feel relaxed putting her to bed and me relaxing downstairs. I can see that shes ok, move the camera remotely if she moves and zoom in on her (only 2 different zoom settings). The night vision is great and is sometimes easier to see her through this than actually looking at her. This has given me real piece of mind that I can still check on her from other rooms in the house, definitely worth the money spent on it.

Excellent product. Gives peace of mind being able to monitor baby’s sleep etc from a distance
I am delighted to have this baby monitor for when I am child minding my 1 year old grandson. Just wish I had had one of these 40 years ago when I had my son. Enables me to check on him without having to go into his room which would disturb him. I highly recommend this item.

Excelle
Have just tried this for the first time, (picture shown for my baby’s daytime nap) very impressed connection is great/reliable and I can see him breathing. Love that I can remotely move the camera angle too. Wasn’t sure because of the less than 5 star reviews but I think this is a 5 star product especially after having a dud one before from another brand that we have had to throw away.

Used now for 8 months, satisfied
Right so the features are great, movable camera, tilts, two way voice, night vision you can edit the picture quality.
My only gripe is the battery life, we have to charge it/always have it plugged in every night as the battery doesnt last more than a few hours which is really annoying. Other than that,I am impressed by it.
Look no further for a baby monitor, this is it!
We bought a cheaper one that ran on WiFi a year ago and although it advertised as allowing multiple phones to connect to it – it actually would only ever work for either just myself or just my husband. Which was incredibly frustrating if on the odd occasion one of us were out we’d have to swap it round before we left which was time consuming. The BT baby monitor is all you’ll need! The picture quality is excellent. The handheld monitor is the perfect size. The controls are very easy. Battery lasts a sufficient amount of time especially if you turn it off properly when not in use. I just wish we’d have bought this one sooner!
great quality
What I most liked was the feature of the video just turning on when the baby made noise. It keeps me relaxed not wanting to be all the time looking at it (first baby). Good quality noise even with the white noise machine on and image. Definitely recommend it.

Overall does the job
Really great for monitoring baby – night vision and overall picture quality are excellent, much better thn others I have seen in action. Good screen size. Easy to use controls. The monitor battery life is pretty poor and the light on the camera is annoying, had to cover that up so it didn’t light the room but other than that no regrets buying!

The monitor to have!
Battery life is good, picture quality is good, signal strength is very good. I spent ages researching which one tp buy prior to this one and would make the same choice again if i had to!
Came back for a second one so it must be good!
This is my second BT 6000 monitor for my second child, the first one we have had for 2 years is still going strong so I expect this will be the same. The picture quality is better than our older one, so must be a new version. The battery easily lasts for an evening as the screen stays off most of the time. This is more than enough to monitor our baby, and as it doesn’t connect to the internet you know there are no risks of getting hacked. Overall a great bit of kit!
Big screen, picture quality ok, easy setup
Great item. Only downside is picture quality, although the monitor is so massive it compensates. Good purchase and glad covered by warranty.
Note. Super easy to set up!
ight vission epic
his was the local mums must have item i didnt agree as its a pricey item but boy is it good worth the cashinda big time
Easy to use, good night visio
Very quick set up. Doesn’t use wi-fi so no faffing around with passwords and no danger of being remotely hacked if you’re worried about that sort of thing.
Wide field of vision, can zoom in. Camera is adjustable from screen unit. Can physically pan up and around a limited amount.

Perfect but had to return because our old ones was repaired!
Best quality monito
Bought a few cheaper monitors to try to replace an older version of this bt monitor. None of the cheap ones compared to the sound/pic quality of this one. You really do get what you pay for. The musical sounds are a bit tinny and not very soothing so I’ve never used those. You can have two cameras attached to the monitor receiver however you can only have one image on Screen at once, and also You can’t hear both cameras at the same time so a bit of a pointless feature.
Good but needs charging a lo
Need to stay ontop of charging it, other than that it’s good
Good baby monitor, quality camera
I’m pleased with this. It’s easy to set up, though takes time as the first battery charge takes 12 hours. Very clear picture quality and I like that it’s possible to remotely control the camera to get a better angle if baby moves – the camera pans without making a noise so doesn’t wake up even a lightly sleeping child.
Night vision is good, as is the audio. The tunes you can play aren’t great (would be helpful if you could play white noise instead) but as a camera and two way audio monitor it’s spot on for us.
A must have!
Really good monitor! Great video quality! Picks up sounds well, good strong signal strength.Can see in detail, very reassuring for first time parents! Would
definitely recommend. Well worth the price

I spent ages looking at reviews of baby monitors before choosing this one. Was a bit sceptical as some people had said picture quality was bad. Not sure what those people bought because the camera on this is amazing! Can see my daughter perfectly, can see her breathing and everything! The fact that you can talk through it is amazing it really soothes her when shes grumbly!! Would really recommend to first time parents puts my mind at ease when I can physically see he
Best video baby monitor better music quality would improve listening quality
Great baby monitor with excellent image quality and night vision. Only issue is that like many similar devices for babies, the sound quality on musical lullabies is often of key and improved music quality would make a huge difference.

So far so good
Night mode is not the best but normal mode is good. Good sound quality, good signal range, very good battery life.
Great Viewing
Hi, my son and daughter in law , have tried it out ready for when our granddaughter will be due in spring, they said it was brilliant clear viewing and sound is good, and can rotate easy
It just works!!! No faff
Great baby cam, easy and simple to use, no transmission issues, turn it on, it works. Not too many unnecessary features. Night vision is good, audio is good. Wake up feature to alert you to baby cries is useful to conserve battery. Recommend

As other reviews pointed i am not really happy that there is no white noise. The so called lullabies are not useful as i do not find them soothing at all.
I am happy that yiu can cotrol the camera from the parent panel. You have huge display and integrated thermometer. And if you buy spare camera you can have more than one angle. The only drawback is that you cannot actually buy a spare camera from BT or amazon, but you can always go on facebook marketplace and buy second hand monitor for fraction of the price and only use the camera. You do jot need to go for bt 6000, as the camera for bt 5000 or 4000 is the same.
No WiFi a great bonus!
Love that this doesn’t use WiFi and so don’t need to worry about losing signal or visiting somewhere where WiFi isn’t great. We can balance it on the side of the cot but will need to put it on a shelf once baby is more mobile as there unfortunately is no attachment for the cot. Night vision and picture quality are great and I leave it plugged in at night so have no issues with battery life.

Excellent baby monito
Bought this camera as my daughter has epilepsy and we needed to be able to see / hear her during the night. The camera is excellent. The screen is nice and big, night vision is excellent and it has very good sound detection too. The only thing I would point out is that you can’t control the camera unit from the parent unit.

Good for remote adjustements to view
Much better than our previous cheaper one. I love the fact that you can remotely move the camera for when baby rolls out of view. The night vision isn’t crystal clear but you can certainly see enough.
The sound on the monitor is a bit quiet on the loudest setting.

Brilliant!. Excellent picture&sound quality. Battery life is the best we’ve experienced in a monitor as well. Being able to adjust the camera remotely is brilliant.
I can recommend so fa
Decent quality images. Batteries last quite long for me. Have found nothing to complain so far but not using it very often atm because baby is still very young and sleeping in my room.

Fantastic
Exactly what we were looking for, gives decent picture and sound, has a handy timer to turn the screen off and on at the detection of sound
Haven’t used the built in lullabies we we’ve got a sound machine, I’d highly recommend this product.

Baby monito
We brought this product for our baby however, we used it for the little girl I look after as baby wasn’t here when we brought the product. The picture is clear even in night vision.We like the fact it plays music and tells you the temperature of the room. The two way talk is very clear. It’s very simple to use. The battery life lasted like it said. Very impressed with the product and the price we paid. We did lots of research into baby monitors and this one came out on top. The product arrived promptly and safely. Would recommend it.
Reliable baby produc
This is our second BT baby monitor, we absolutely love it! We decided to upgraded with our second baby and haven’t been disappointed! The only thing I’m missing is the lovely picture projector from our last one ! Such a great produc

This monitor is fantastic. After reading endless reviews of monitors this one kept appearing, continuously in the top 5 rated i decided to buy it and it’s great. Good range, picture, sound. Lots of easy features making it easier to use like being able to move the camera to see baby as they wriggle around the cot.

Upgraded to this from my motorola MBP481 and love that it has such a big screen, coloured display as well as 2 way audio. Worth the price and can pick up cheaper on prime days

Best on the market!
This is the best monitor we could find.
Great night vision but better quality when not dark or curtains aren’t closed.
Picture quality good.
Sound perfect.
Battery we left off charge for 11 hours before it was going flat.
Downside of monitor – Zoom button didn’t do much different, could have been a few zooms in and out.
Screen turned on when baby was loud, but didn’t pick up small squeals. Could hear it but screen was still off.
Overall the best we could find.
Excellent battery life and nice big scree
I bought this on a recommendation and after our old Motorola one broke. Wish we’d discovered this one before the first – the battery life is amazing, it’s got a lovely big screen. Really happy with i

Nice and loud so you don't have to watch the screen constantly
We’ve had this for a couple of weeks now and so far I am thoroughly impressed with it.
The pan/tilt function from the monitor to move the camera is really useful for being able to adjust to where the baby has gone too without rushing into the room.
The screen is a good size and nice and clear to be able to see what’s going on, and we can even tell on night vision when he’s not got the soother in his mouth anymore.
We have a white noise machine that we use which can be heard over the monitor, but we turn down the volume so we can watch TV or whatever else and it’s still clear and loud enough to hear when he wakes up straight away, so I’m really glad we don’t have to fret about missing that by tuning out the white noise for ourselves.
Great baby monitor - wish I had bought this one the first time round!
I bought this monitor after the first one I bought broke (it was cheaper and not a well known brand) and it works great. There are always going to be things you would want to improve, such as the ability to dim the brightness a bit more at night and perhaps improve the picture quality a bit but comparing it to the other, its much better! I think you have to pay A LOT for a 5* camera but this one does the job perfectly in my opinion.
Baby monito
I bought this unit due to the high rating, reputable brand (for telecoms at least), added functionality and a clean ‘tablet like’ screen.
The Kodak cherish was high on my list (I find the screen /unit nicer), but the much higher price tag and non-rotatable camera spoiled it.
We’re still expecting so haven’t used it beyond testing.
Initially speaking, don’t find the picture that great. I know it’s just a baby monitor but I have cheap IP cameras and picture is crisp so I don’t think there is an excuse.
As a baby monitor you get a fairly decent package for a reasonable price. You can go cheaper for a no-name chinese brand but who will you go to when something goes wrong? And I find most of them have really tacky &
Small screen units.
Good monitor!
Does the job! Provides a good picture of my baby, yes it could have a little better picture quality but is definitely adequate for my needs & also for the price! We previously had the BT 5000 & whilst this one has a much bigger screen, we actually found this annoying in comparison as we couldn’t put the monitor in our pocket (but that is purely personal preference)!
