Product Information
Full details
The Motorola VM85 CONNECT is designed for parents seeking a versatile and reliable monitoring solution that combines a dedicated 5-inch handheld parent unit with smartphone connectivity. It provides peace of mind through features like remote pan, tilt, zoom, and real-time environmental monitoring, making it an excellent tool for tracking your baby's comfort from any room or location. One important caveat is that while the monitor supports up to four cameras, the battery life of the parent unit is limited to approximately five hours, so you will need to keep the charger handy for extended use.

To care for your unit, keep the lens clean with a microfiber cloth and ensure the batteries are fully charged before initial use.
