VTech VM901
Wi-Fi + local mode
Verdict
The VM901 runs two ways: a direct local link to its 5-inch handset, or Wi-Fi to the app when away. It records to a local card rather than a cloud plan, and the camera reaches 1080p.
Recordings need a memory card, sold separately, and the handset menu runs deep. Buyers who want the app as the main screen should compare the Nanit first.
What we liked
- Local handset and Wi-Fi app in one
- Records to a local card, no plan
- 1080p camera
What we didn't like
- Memory card sold separately
- Deep handset menu
- Bulky camera mount
