BT Video Baby Monitors are tested to ensure they have a range of up to 50 metres indoors and 250 metres outdoors. My monitor lights flash green for approximately 20 seconds when trying to pair with the additional camera and then then beeps for around 5 seconds resulting in an epic fail to connect. The baby monitor camera infra-red night vision mode means you can see them clearly even in the dark. These ranges can only be achieved in ideal conditions when there is a clear line of sight between the Baby and Parent unit. The talkback function works well, however my baby is not particularly settled just by hearing my voice as he likes to see me and be held by me.

It lacks a carry case, but I have retained the screen protector in case I ever wish to transport it. It’s easy to move around and would be fairly compact if you were packing it to take away on a trip as well.
