Consider using a YI Webcam (£20 Amazon) then use a tablet / phone as the other end.

Most baby monitors are fairly poorly made and don't last
I'd second this. Chuck a cheap microSD card in for persisting video to.

We've just bought a VTEC one. About £40 on Amazon and it is superb. The receiver has a very clear colour screen, good audio and you can even press a button and talk into it. Our boy is 4 but we have a summer house in the garden so we use it for date nights when we are playing pool in case he wakes up at night and we don't hear him. It's better than the expensive one we used to have when he was a baby.
I scrapped all of the VTech toys following the hack. https://www.wired.co.uk/article/vtech-hack-arrest-...
VTech’s response was to amend its terms and conditions and exclude any liability for hacks - it failed to patch the software so I voted with my wallet.

We have a BT 6000 monitor for use with two cameras. It's been good.

However, we're going on holiday to a hotel that doesn't guarantee availability of in-house monitors on arrival, therefore, I'm looking to get a WiFi baby monitor and two cameras.

We recently stayed at a hotel near the south coast which dished out Kodak monitors, which worked well.

Can anyone recommend other brands or have the Kodak offering at home? Must be over WiFi as we don't know the layout of the hotel.

Thanks!
