Babysense Video Baby Monitor with Camera and Audio, Long Range, Night Vision, Two-Way Talk, V24R Review (2026)

Screen and everyday use

The parent unit carries a 2.4 inch TFT LCD screen, which is on the smaller side compared with monitors built around 5 inch displays, but it keeps the handheld unit compact and easier to carry room to room. The V24R ships as a single camera system, and Babysense sells add-on cameras separately for parents who later want to watch more than one room, with the parent unit supporting a split screen view once a second camera is added. Out of the box with one camera, the screen simply shows a continuous feed of the nursery rather than switching between multiple views. That smaller screen size is a reasonable trade for a monitor priced below the 5 inch options in Babysense's own lineup.

Range and connection

Babysense advertises long range coverage for the V24R, with open space range figures for this monitor line landing close to 900 to 1000 feet depending on the exact variant and conditions. That range holds up better outdoors or across an open floor plan than through several interior walls, which is normal for this style of dedicated video monitor. Because it runs on its own closed signal rather than home WiFi, there is no router or app dependency, which some parents prefer for a simpler, more private setup than a WiFi camera that streams to a phone.

Night vision and audio features

Infrared night vision keeps the picture visible once the nursery lights go out, and two-way talk lets a parent speak into the parent unit so their voice comes through the camera speaker in the baby's room, which can help settle a baby without a full walk down the hall. The unit also includes room temperature monitoring with high and low alerts, useful for keeping a nursery within a comfortable range without needing a separate thermometer. Built-in lullabies and a white noise option round out the audio side, giving parents a way to play calming sound directly from the parent unit, which can be handy during a middle of the night resettle without walking into the room.

What it does not include

The V24R's camera is fixed in position rather than motorized, so there is no remote pan, tilt, or zoom control from the parent unit, unlike pricier monitors that let you reposition the camera view without walking into the room. The listing also does not spell out an exact screen size on the box or a rated battery life for the parent unit in hours, so parents who want that number ahead of time should check the packaging or contact Babysense directly. These are reasonable trade-offs for the price point but worth knowing before comparing it against monitors with moving cameras.

Who this monitor fits

For a single nursery in an apartment or smaller home, the V24R covers the core features most parents want, a clear picture at night, a way to talk to the baby, and a temperature check, without paying for pan and tilt hardware that goes unused if the crib sits in one consistent spot. Families with a larger home who need to reposition the camera view without entering the room, or who plan to monitor multiple rooms from day one, should compare this against Babysense's multi-camera bundles or a pan-tilt-zoom model instead.
