Pros: Award-winning, features two-way audio, includes a lifetime warranty and can be upgraded with up to four extra cameras for a more in-depth picture system. It’s easy to use and does everything the other models in this guide to, except for the VTech’s night show function.
Cons: Rather premium cost-wise, though it is reduced by £30 currently.
Customers are saying: Could be louder on the talk-back feature, but generally speaking it’s got good picture quality, the 360 degree capacity is great and the reach is good in terms of using from the garden/downstairs.

Angel Care baby monitors
Why we love it: Complete with SensAsure™ technology for high sensitivity movement detection, the Angelcare AC327 is a top pick for families with multiple children, as it has different capabilities for children of different age ranges.

Cons: No night light.
Customers are saying: Easy to set up, picks up all the sounds you need to hear – sniffles, crying etc. – and the zoom function is super helpful when you want a little closer look to check all’s ok.
