Description

You can easily connect the Motorola VM85 Connect to your phone, computer, and tablet. This way, you're always aware of what's going on in the children's room. You can use the baby monitor both with the parent unit and with an app. In the app, you can review sound and motion detection events of the last 24 hours. Thanks to the two-way audio and the 5 lullabies, you can easily soothe your little one remotely. The camera has a zoom function and you can control it from anywhere. So you can always check on your child. And the parent unit has lights that indicate the noise level. There's a temperature sensor in the baby monitor.

Dual mode baby monitor with useful functions

  • Control via parent unit and smartphone.
  • Talkback function, night light and lullabies.
  • Unlimited range with WiFi and the app.
  • Always connect the camera to mains power.
This Motorola baby monitor has many useful functions, which ensure that you can monitor your baby remotely with peace of mind. I especially like the talk-back function and the dual mode. In combination with the notifications on your smartphone as soon as the baby unit detects sound or movement, I am very satisfied with this baby monitor. Dual mode A good feature of the baby monitor is that it has a dual mode. This means that the baby monitor works with WiFi via your smartphone as well as with a regular digital connection via the parent unit. The WiFi connection via your smartphone has the great advantage that you have unlimited range. This way I stay informed about what's happening in the baby's room even when I'm far from home. App phone Motorola offers the Hubble application that allows you to connect the baby monitor to your smartphone. The app has useful functions, such as recording images and giving a notification as soon as the camera detects movement or sound. The big advantage of this is that, unlike the parent unit, I don't always have to look at my smartphone, but only when I get a notification. The quality of the stream is stable and I can follow everything well. Rotatable camera You move the camera of the baby monitor both manually and remotely. You can move the camera from left to right via your smartphone and the parent unit, up to a maximum of 180 degrees. With the parent unit, you can also move the camera from top to bottom and zoom in. Despite the fact that you can manually rotate the camera further than remotely, I like the fact that you can keep a close eye on your baby as he or she moves itself. Camera quality In general I am satisfied with the quality of the camera. When there is enough light in the room, the camera provides a sharp color image. When it is dark, the camera automatically switches to night mode, so that your child can be seen clearly even without a night light. The disadvantage is that there is a delay on the image and the images can be choppy as a result, both via the app and via the parent unit. Despite that, the images are sharp and clear, so I still keep a close eye on everything. Talkback function A big plus of the baby monitor is the talk-back function. This gives you the opportunity to reassure your child without having to go directly to the baby's room. There is some delay and I had to speak clearly to be heard clearly, but this does not make the function any less useful.

Handy baby monitor, only you will be screwed by Motorola.

  • Simple to use
  • Good range
  • Can be expanded with an extra camera.. BUT.. (see negatives)
  • Separate cameras are not sold
Handy baby monitor, setup is easy, but I bought it because it was advertised as 'expandable with multiple cameras'. This is also not a lie, what is not mentioned is that these cameras are not sold separately. So you have to buy the full set including parent unit again.

Good product, I will recommend this baby monitor to everyone

  • Clear picture
  • Automatically goes into night mode
  • Good music/sounds
  • The reading stories are in English
Likes it very much. The picture is good, very clear. And handy that you can get the image from above using the supplied stand for this. The range and battery life are also very good. Very expensive but the product is worth it.
