HelloBaby HB6550 review

The HelloBaby HB6550 is the simplest monitor here. It pairs a camera and a 5-inch color parent unit over a 2.4GHz FHSS link, with no Wi-Fi, no app and no subscription, and HelloBaby states up to 1,000 feet of range in open areas. The camera pans 355 degrees, tilts 120 degrees and zooms, and adds infrared night vision, two-way audio, a temperature alert and 8 lullabies. VOX mode keeps the screen dark until the camera picks up sound, which HelloBaby says saves power for up to 30 hours. You can grow to 4 cameras, though only with matching HB6550 units. The single-camera kit costs $99.99, and the 2-camera kit starts at $159.99. HelloBaby includes a 1-year standard warranty with a paid option for a second year. What you give up is any remote viewing, sleep data or smart alerts, and image quality specs are thinner than on the Infant Optics DXR-8 PRO.
