Best baby monitors to buy right now
A monitor with its own parent screen works even when the Wi-Fi drops and keeps video off the internet. Wi-Fi monitors let you watch on your phone from anywhere but depend on the app. Night vision, two-way talk and a room temperature reading are worth having; breathing sensors are extras, not medical devices.
Best for most people
1. VTech VM3250
300m · 2.8in LCD · Up to 19 hours video · Infrared
A no-Wi-Fi monitor with its own parent unit, 300m range and up to 19 hours of video on a charge. It has night vision, a room temperature reading and 2x zoom. The 2.8 inch screen is small next to newer monitors.
Best budget
2. HelloBaby Pan-Tilt Monitor
355° pan, 120° tilt, 2x zoom · 4in IPS · Up to 29 hours (VOX) · Infrared
A bigger 4 inch screen and a camera you can pan and tilt from the parent unit, with no Wi-Fi needed. It adds two-way talk, room temperature, lullabies and an eco mode. HelloBaby is a lesser-known brand than VTech or Motorola.
Best for two rooms
3. Blemil 6in Split-Screen (2 cameras)
6in split screen · 4000mAh · 2, pan-tilt-zoom · FHSS, no Wi-Fi
Two pan-tilt-zoom cameras show side by side on a large 6 inch screen, handy for siblings in separate rooms. It uses a private FHSS link rather than Wi-Fi, and has night vision and cry alerts. The listing's feature text is mostly in German, so check the details carefully.
Best big screen
4. Tommee Tippee Dreamee
300m · 330° pan, 110° tilt, 2x zoom · 4.3in colour · Infrared
A 4.3 inch screen, a pan-tilt camera and a room thermometer with high and low alerts. The parent unit runs on mains or battery and warns you when you move out of range. It sells far less than the other monitors here.
Cheapest with talk-back
5. Motorola Nursery VM483
Two-way · Digital · 2.8in colour · Infrared
A simple camera and parent unit from a known brand, with night vision, digital zoom and two-way talk to soothe your baby from another room. It is a good fit for a small home. The camera does not pan or tilt.
Best Wi-Fi monitor
6. Nanit Pro with Floor Stand
Two-way audio · Floor stand · Wi-Fi, phone app · 1080p
A 1080p Wi-Fi camera that streams to your phone, with in-app cry, sound and motion alerts and Alexa and Google Home support. The floor stand avoids drilling the wall. It depends on Wi-Fi and the app, and the full sleep analytics need a paid Insights plan; its tracking features are not a medical device.
Nothing matches those filters. Try fewer filters, or search for a brand like "MSI" or "Crucial".
How we rank
Ordered by how well each sells in its Amazon UK category, what the listing confirms (specs, battery, compatibility, sizes), and price. We have not handled these products: the write-ups rest on what each listing states. Prices and stock are checked daily.
Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Each Amazon UK price shows the date and time it was checked. We earn a small commission if you buy through our links, at no cost to you. It never changes the order. More about how we work.
