The Ellie Baby Plus, Baby Monitor Pro is a simple to set up and use camera for your home and given it is aimed at babies in the house this can be used for basic security for your pet or even elder parents/ grandparents if they have a need to be monitored which is great.
What is great with this kit is there is a tablet that comes with it and an app which bot replicate each other in most instances so for example if you are in one room and your baby or child in another you can carry the portable tablet with you which is well built and robust and simple to use just like the app and you can see both in action in the video review below and what to expect.
The app is full of features and has a good UI and works both on Android and iOS giving you control be it at home or if you are away and you can set notifications if you wish to do so and not miss a thing.
There is a two way speaker system and you can clearly hear if you are either listening or speaking from your phone not only this there is a suite of options for babies such as lullabies to help them sleep if they are not settling down. You can also use the split screen mode if you are not with the child.
The camera is also quite cool with a themed toy shape and look and is silent when it is being moved around so it will not disturb your child or pet unless you speak through it.
The camera also offers zoom, large angle rotation, 360° room view, and automatic movement tracking. Features 2.5K QHD night vision and Pan-Tilt rotation and comes with local storage and no monthly fees which for me is a real bonus as most security cameras no require this and tease you into a 30 day trial with no SD card option so this is a huge win for me and certainly is for the customer.
Of course AI being the big buzzword now this camera also offer AI features such as covered face & rollover detection, breathing detection, sleep quality reports, danger zone detection, cry detection, auto-soothing, person tracking, and auto photo capture and also offer sleep and breathing reports we do not have a baby to try this part out but I gently went over it with my dog who kindly participated in some of the review which was hard work.
Overall this is a superb product if you have a new baby and if you are expecting one this needs to be on your radar as it offer more than most in this category.

If you have a new baby or even pet in the house this may just be the thing to have at your disposal, simple and effective and easy to use and also very affordable you should check this out, also there is no app here like most have so in effect it is a simple plug and play gadget and all you really need is a micro SD card, there is one small drawback though but the idea is still great.
The drawback being no smartphone connectivity is only where i can fault this, why you might ask, OK so if you are out and about and want to keep in check with your baby or pet this does not happen here it is all in your own house and the range is 1000 ft which is impressive I might add so for those with big houses it is simply a must have if you are the concerned type.
Unboxing the Vacos baby monitor
The installation is simple, just turn on the device but before hand ensure both have been charged up as the instructions say to get going without a hitch and you will be literally good to go in a minute or two. You will need the sd card as mentioned to save events locally, you will get an alarm on your small tablet and then you can investigate, connecting to your home WiFi is all that is needed in the setup process.
Two devices link to each other via 2.4 GHz private FHSS transmission. View recording without WiFi or app. 100% encryption protects your baby’s privacy from top to bottom.
Once all setup you can then check out the UI on board which is simple and easy to use, there is also a small stand on back and you can place this beside you on your locker or table once you have placed the camera where it is best suited for you, there is two way audio here and also lullabies to help your baby sleep, the screen though is only 720 not the best in the world but you can make out what is going on even in the dark as you will see in the video below where we go through the UI set up and more and of course samples of day and night quality.
For the price here it is good value I think and what is on offer, perhaps a future version would include a screen for the baby or pet too which would be a nice idea I think and even an app then in its current state but overall it is a great product and value for money and keeping your mind at rest once you can watch your child in your home whilst getting other things done.
Features
The latest 2.4 GHz wireless tech enables the monitor to communicate with the camera via their own proprietary network signal from up to 1,000 ft away (in open areas).
Feeder reminder
Designed for mothers who want to track their baby feeds, including a useful reminder for when a feed is due – it is a must for night feeds.
Expandable up to 4 Cameras
The 5’’ LCD monitor can pair up to 4 cameras simultaneously, enabling you to keep an eye on multiple rooms in your home.
5 Comforting Lullabies
This camera provides 5 lovely lullabies for the baby. Play those lullabies to calm the crying baby when you are not in the nursery.
Having security in your home is important and often I dwell on it alot here but what about keeping an eye on your baby, not only that your pet dog or cat or even an elderly relative, this might just be the thing you could invest in and has lande din for review, what is different with this product is it does not require and app to use which would be a first for me and I am interested on how it works in general, ot comes in two parts, the camera itself and a monitor and two way audio which means you can speak to your child for example, you get the idea, today we take a first look at the new product and if you have any questions feel free to ask and we will have a full hands on review soon without the stock images for context.
Here are some features of capability and portability:
720p HD clarity detected by 355° pan and 55° tilt
Temperature, voice and motion detection, and comforting lullabies
