Our verdict

A single-camera monitor on a private radio link that needs no Wi-Fi or app, with cry detection and a power saving audio mode. Video resolution is basic and the unit is not water resistant despite the outdoor tag.

Overview

Not a Wi-Fi camera or an app-driven monitor, the HelloBaby HB2438 is a screen and camera pair that talks over a private frequency-hopping radio link.

The screen and camera work out of the box without a network, which suits a nursery or a travel bag. The limitation is a single camera with basic video, and a compatible-device list that names only a second unit.

Who it's for

Parents who want to watch one room from another and prefer buttons to an app can set it on a desk or hang it on a wall. Anyone who needs several cameras, high resolution or remote viewing should look at a different monitor.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • No Wi-Fi or app needed
  • Cry detection and VOX mode listed
  • Wall mount or desktop use
  • Night vision listed
Cons
  • Not water resistant
  • Single camera only
  • Video resolution is basic

Performance notes

A frequency-hopping radio link carries video straight from camera to screen, so range depends on walls and distance rather than a router. Infrared LEDs light the room for the camera at night, and the push-button controls mean settings change on the screen itself.
