From 179 reviews on Amazon, the VTech VM343 Baby Monitor received a 3½ -star rating.

The 10TopTenReviews website rated the VTech VM333 with an 8.58 out of ten rating when it was on the top ten list.
It no longer holds that position, likely due to a newer version that is available. The VOX and two-way talk capabilities make it worth considering, according to the website.
A manufacturer claim of six hours of battery life is below what critics consider ideal for baby monitors.
The VOX technology of the monitor converts incoming sound or voice signals into electrical signals that cause a device to operate as long as the signal coming in is maintained. The result is a longer lasting battery. The feature given the most praise was the built-in lullabies. The lullabies and the two-way talk are useful for soothing a baby.
This monitor provides all the functionality one would expect from a baby monitor. Reviewers see not being able to record snapshots or video to an SD card as a downside of the monitor. The review says the 2.8-inch screen is adequate. Most consumer analysts give high marks to larger screens. They would agree that the 1000-foot range of the monitor is an asset.

One review for this VM981 Monitor was posted on the TechHive website. The monitor received a 3.5 out of five rating and said the monitor was not ready for the nursery.
A fixed position camera is adjusted manually. The lightweight plastic was not thought to be very durable.
The rating may be a little harsh. The monitor has a five-inch HD touchscreen monitor. The lightweight device is about the size of a smartphone that makes it easy to tote from room to room.
The TechHive information says it can be used indoors only, but the Amazon advertisement states it is suitable for outdoor use. The monitor has on-demand capabilities to record video, take snapshots, and watch streaming video of the baby. The media can be stored on the 4 GB internal memory. A microSD card slot allows expanded storage capacity.

The PC website posted a review of the VTech 991 Baby Monitor that listed the easy installation as an attractive feature. It also praised the sharp image quality and the mechanical tilt and pan feature.
The monitor is a hybrid of sorts. It has a five-inch touchscreen monitor that offers a free mobile app that allows using your phone to keep an eye on the baby anywhere.
The cons listed were the price, choppy audio, and spotty WiFi connectivity. The review did not mention the night vision feature. Amazon customers rated the monitor with a 3.5 star out of five rating. Having only WiFi connectivity is a bit of a security issue.
