Full Review:

We knew before our son was born that we wanted a camera for our vehicle. Before we had it installed, I actually rode in the back seat while my husband drove so someone could always keep an eye on our rear-facing baby. That worked for the first few trips, but it obviously wasn’t a long-term solution.

Installation was very simple and only took a few minutes. Once everything was mounted and connected, the camera immediately provided a clear, crisp view of our baby.

One thing we decided to do differently was skip permanently attaching the monitor to our dashboard or windshield. Instead, we paired it with this folding GPS dashboard mount.

It lets the monitor sit securely on top of the dash without leaving adhesive behind, and when we’re not using it, the mount folds flat for easy storage. It has worked extremely well for our setup.

My husband was driving once everything was installed, and he immediately commented on how natural the monitor’s position felt. From the driver’s seat, he could quickly glance over, immediately recognize what our baby was doing, and then return his attention to the road. When our baby made noises, he didn’t have to guess what was happening. He could quickly see whether our son simply needed his pacifier, was stretching, or actually needed our attention.

We can clearly see our son’s mouth, which is great for keeping an eye on spit-up moments and coughing moments to quickly determine whether he needs our attention.

The picture quality has exceeded our expectations, and the monitor gives us peace of mind every time we’re on the road. It has made traveling with a rear-facing infant much less stressful.

We have been so happy with this camera that we’ll be installing a second one in our Toyota RAV4 soon, so we’ll have the same setup available in both of our vehicles.

⭐ Overall Thoughts:

This has become one of our favorite baby purchases for the car. The combination of simple installation, excellent image quality, and the ability to quickly check on our son without turning around has made every drive more comfortable. I would absolutely purchase this again.

I tried to cover the details I wish I had when I was deciding, so it’s easier to figure out if this fits your setup and how you plan to use it.

🔄 Update: Installed on Our Second Vehicle (2014 Toyota RAV4)

After using this camera in one of our vehicles, we purchased a second one for our 2014 Toyota RAV4, and the installation went just as smoothly.

Since the RAV4 only has one factory USB-A port and one 12V charging outlet in the front of the vehicle, I routed power neatly to the back seat using a USB extension setup.

I ran the cable under the front passenger-side floor liner, under the passenger seat, and then under the rear floor liner before bringing it up to the rear-facing car seat.

I intentionally chose a cable that was a little longer than necessary. I probably could have used a shorter one, but the extra length let me route the connections into protected areas where people aren’t likely to step on them. It also leaves enough slack that if the cable is accidentally pulled or stepped on, it won’t put unnecessary strain on the USB connections.

Once everything reached the back seat, I bundled the extra camera cable to the side of the rear headrest and tucked it underneath the headrest strap. This removed the remaining slack, kept the cable secure, and gave the installation a much cleaner appearance.

The second installation has worked just as well as the first, and we’re still very happy with this camera system.

I love how easy it was to set up. The screen connected/paired with the camera easily upon turning it on. Screen size is perfect. The color, quality is better than our cheap gifted $20-30 camera. It actually looks like I’m viewing her from the backseat with how clear it is compared to my small, almost pixelated camera in the other car. The downside would be charging it every now and then but I haven’t had to do it too often. Maybe every couple weeks when I notice the bar goes down one.

For a first time parent this is a must have! The camera quality isn’t 4k but allows me to see my daughter clearly. The screen is the perfect size to not make too big of a blind spot on my dash. Wiring it up was extremely easy because there is none! It paired automatically all you do is press the power button and you’re connected! I’m not the most tech savvy and i was able to do it without even looking at the instructions. I suffer from the typical first parent anxiety and this makes me feel so much more comfortable being able to see my daughter all the time while I drive and knowing she is safe. I also appreciate being able to adjust the screen time out at night it can be a bit bright and having it automatically turn off is a great safety feature. If you’re thinking about it you cannot go wrong!

I’ve been using this for about 4 months and it’s been pretty good so far. Good clarity and I like that it has night vision. Split screen function works well. Usually connects with no issues and it’s nice that it’s wireless. Strong adhesive to the dashboard.

The drawbacks are: Can be glitchy. Sometimes the image on the screen will freeze or sometimes the screen will pixelize or go totally black. Usually it will eventually fix itself on its own, otherwise sometimes I need to unplug the monitor and plug it back in and that usually works. Issue is typically only temporary and not a huge deal, but can be annoying.

Some are complaining about the battery life of the cameras. Firstly, you DO have to turn them on and off manually. If you don’t, they will stay on or in sleep mode and drain battery. I try to remember to turn them on when I put the kids in their seats, and turn them off when I take them out. The monitor stays plugged in so you do not have to worry about the charge on that or turning it on or off, it eventually turns off after your car turns off.

Another helpful thing is I bought a long charging cord that I could plug right into my car to charge the cameras when needed and this way I don’t have to use a battery pack or take them down to charge them. Works great and they actually charge up pretty quickly. I like that it shows the battery life of each camera on the monitor.

Initially we really liked how this camera setup presented. Installation is very easy and turning it on for the first time connectivity was immediate. I charged it before trying the first time so it might last a while. The camera itself is fairly large, assumedly for a large capacity battery. The carrying case is great for travel packing.

The first time we used it with our car seat I noticed right away that the camera was aimed way too high, however the adjustment using the headrest bars is limited by the ball in socket design that allows the camera to pivot and be aimed. This is extremely limiting on the range it can be aimed preventing clear visibility of our baby in his car seat. With the camera adjusted as low as possible, the bottom of his head is at the bottom of the screen and only just barely. This is poor design and frustrating to me, the headrest bar mounting is a great idea limited by execution of this particular combination of systems. Using the included headrest strap is much more difficult especially trying to quickly remove it for charging. Changing how the mount attaches the camera to something that allows it to pivot more than 10-15degrees will easily solve this problem. I would further note we are using a baseless car seat that sits pretty low to the seat, and may not apply if your cars seat does not angle towards the rear, a vertical head rest may not have this issue at all.

The second major issue revolves around the random nature of the day night system that automatically adjusts. At twilight, the camera is constantly switched back and forth from light to night which is not only noisy but annoying flashing on the display when it’s relatively dark out. There is no way to manually select light or night mode so when the suns going down be prepared for the barrage of camera clicks and flashes from the display.

Aside from the aforementioned frustration this camera is a relatively good quality for the money and appears to be durable enough to last for the years it needs to.

The Babyvue BV6 lived up to its promise of a fast, wireless setup — no wiring, no drilling, just mount and go. I had it running in about 10 minutes. The 1080P image is sharp even in low light, and I can finally keep an eye on my little one in the back seat without twisting around while driving. Battery life has been solid on longer trips, and the connection stays stable without dropouts. For the price, it's a genuinely useful safety upgrade for any parent. Highly recommended.

Love the clarity and overall loved the product if I had to nitpick I would say I wish it came with a portable battery charger to charge them while on the go without having to uninstall them to charge them each time. Still love the product. I got the two pack to see both my kids and it did just that!!

I love the quality of this camera! Super easy to use and installation is a breeze! Only reason why I don't give it a 5 star review is because the "one click wake up" feature doesn't work. It's not the worst thing as I usually click the buttons on the side of the screen but it would be convenient to have for the price paid for the system. I've tried trouble shooting it with no luck.
