Best baby monitors compared in 2026

I've gone through five baby monitors using retailer listings only, with prices as they stood on 29 October 2026. The range runs from £59.99 to £284, and the listings vary a lot in how much they tell you. I'd read each one carefully, because a low price and a long feature list don't always come with the same level of detail.

VM5467 Night Video Monitor

Our recommended starting point

VM5467 Night Video Monitor

I'm picking the VTech VM5467 as the value option because its £79.99 listing is the lowest-priced in this group. Its manufacturer page also confirms a 5-inch screen, pan/tilt/zoom, two-way talk and up to 33 hours of video streaming under controlled conditions. I'd still check the current price and supplied accessories on the retailer page before ordering.

The VTech RM5755 sits between the other two Kiddies Kingdom models at £109.99, with the captured listing showing a reduction from £119.99.
