Motorola VM75

Why We Like It

The Motorola VM75 is the sweet spot for parents who want a dedicated screen without WiFi vulnerabilities. The 5-inch display is large enough to see detail from across the bedroom, pan/tilt/zoom works from the parent unit, and there's never a subscription fee. A no-fuss family workhorse.
