Olivia and Evie are 16 months old and are in full blown toddler mode. They are running all over the house and usually in opposite directions. The only nice {and fun!} thing is that they are finally starting to play together. They love to sit in their room and play with toys or flip through books. This is good because it means that I can finally catch up on laundry or straighten up the kitchen without them crawling around my feet.
But, there’s always that moment when the house is quiet…too quiet. You want to know what is going on in the kid’s room but you don’t want this to happen…
I’ve been there with Olivia and Evie and I’ve even been there with my 6 year old son. Luckily, I was sent the VTech Safe & Sound Pan & Tilt Baby Monitor from VTech and Mom It Forward, which is the perfect solution. We already have a VTech monitor in the twins bedroom but I really wanted to install this one in our basement since it’s the kids main playing area. A lot of times I will run upstairs to do some chores or start dinner while they are playing or go into the adjacent laundry room to get some stuff done. This way, I can get some things done and know that they are safe and sound playing. I also don’t have to miss out on the sweet moments of them playing together.
When my son was a baby, we had a plain ol’ baby monitor that was fine. It did what it was supposed to. Then we got a video baby monitor when the girls were born and it was a total game changer. This monitor? Another total game changer. I always tell moms when they are registering to register for a ! Below are my top 5 features of the VTech Safe & Sound VM333 Pan & Tilt Baby Monitor, a fantastic addition to any household.
Pan, Tilt, and Zoom
I love being able to watch my kids as they move about. There’s no wondering what they are up to in the corner of the room because the camera pans up to 270 degrees side-to-side and tilts as many as 124 degrees up and down. Want to see exactly what your little one is holding? The camera zooms up to 2x.
Multiple View Options
This VTech video monitor supports up to 4 total cameras from one parent unit. You can choose between a single view (one camera only), split view (cycles through cameras on single view before stopping on split view) and patrol mode (single view that transitions to a different camera every 7 seconds). With one monitor in their bedroom and another in the basement, I can keep an eye on both kids while one is napping in their room – because I can NEVER get both girls to nap at the same time.
Temperature Indicator
Such a simple little feature, but I love it. I can’t tell you how many times I have been paranoid that it’s too cold or too hot in their room. Now, I just pick up the monitor and it tells me the temperature. You can select a temperature in settings that if it goes above that, an alarm will sound.
Talk Back Intercom
My son loves this feature more than I do. Sometimes if your kids are up to something {or maybe your 6 year old} and you want to let them know you’re watching, the parent unit features an intercom where you can talk back to them. My son loves to sing lullaby’s to them too – so sweet!
Large Color Screen
Just like my phone, I like large, colorful screens and you won’t be disappointed with the VTech Safe & Sound™ Pan & Tilt Full Color Video Baby Monitor. It’s a high-resolution, 2.8-inch color LCD screen so you don’t miss a thing and can see your precious little ones so clear!

that is so cool that it tilts and pans. i also think the resolution is great as well.
I love VTech products! The VTech Safe and Sound is awesome! I gave my sister one for her baby shower because I know it’s such a great product.
Oh my gosh.. that temp indicator is the best! In my old house the temp seemed to shift a lot and I was always worried that the babies would get too hot or too cold. This would shave been perfect.
I love the Someecards…so funny and true! I need to get this moniter for my pregnant sister this would be so useful for the new baby!
We have a Vtech video monitor for both of my boys rooms, but ours doesn’t pan and tilt.. that is really nice. I so wish we had that feature.
I like the pan and tilt feature.I love the Vtech brand we had their monitor for our kiddies.
That is an amazing monitor. Oh how I wish I had one when my boys were little 🙂
Vtech has some great products. This sounds like another one.
I love the way that pans and tilts. When I had my monitor it did one thing…watch the corner. We’ve come a long way.
I like the high resolution and the range that this monitor can cover. It is a great product that gives peace of mind and lets me know what is going on at home. I want to get one of these.
Great that it tilts and has a intercom system. Definitely a must have with small children.
What a great monitor! I would love to get one of these for my daughters’ playroom.
This is fantastic! I’m sending this post onto my cousin! She’ll love it!
Nice monitor
This sounds like a great item for parents and caregivers. Thank you for your review.
I love how sophisticated baby monitors have become. It seems to be a product where they’ve been really thoughtful with changes to make it just what parents want/need.
The amazing gadgets that are available today for parents amaze me! We don’t have children, but if we did, I’m not even sure where to start!
This is such a cool gadget! It’s so practical and helps make parenting a bit easier.
My kids made it to the ages of 2 and 5 without a video monitor. However, now I just want one to see what my 2 year old son is doing after we close his door at night. That kid is so sneaky!
We used our Vtech video monitor with both kids. It’s a must have in my book!
i wish we had that kind of tech when my kids were little. Everything is so advanced now
What an awesome monitor! I like the talk back function.
I wish I had one of these for my kids when they were little. It would have been so convenient.
I dont know a whole lot about baby monitors/cameras but this one looks like its pretty cool.
Lol, love the meme! i know that feeling all too well. Baby monitors do come in super handy.
That meme made me lol! This monitor must be awesome!
The monitors are just getting better and better. I love that I can see and hear what is going on in another room. The monitors aren’t just for babies anymore. Mine makes me feel a lot more secure.
This sounds like an amazing monitor. I don’t know what I would do without my video monitor.
I didn’t have a video monitor but wish I did at times. This one looks great.
I think I would have tons of fun with the intercom portion, LOL! Baby monitors have come a long way
We didn’t have this option when my kids were smaller. I sure wish we did!
LOVE the temperature indicator feature! I don’t think I have seen that in another monitor!
I totally want a video monitor! We are currently working on getting preg with baby #2 and this would be perfect!
This looks like a great baby monitor! I definitely would love one of these!
The someecard is hilarious and so true! VTech has some great products so I’m not surprised to see a quality video monitor from them!
Now that just beats all. I only had the audio monitor with my kids, but this would be fantastic! I suspect it would be pretty entertaining too. 😉
My sister is going to be needing one of these very soon. I know she is looking through all her options so I will be sure to share this with her because it sounds great!
What a great monitor. I wish we had, had a video baby monitor when my daughter was little.
I love this VTech monitor. I wish they would have had this when my daughter was little.
I’m such a worrier when it comes to my babies. Vtech has given me plenty of good night sleeps, with the peace of mind they bring.
This one seems way more advanced than the one we have! Very cool!
I’d love to have one now that the kids are a bit older. I would’ve freaked and watched it all night with my first.
