Rank #4 in Best Video Baby Monitor 2026: 10 Ranked, and Where the Numbers Slip
HelloBaby HB6560 6" Split Screen Baby Monitor
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The HelloBaby HB6560 is a 6-inch split-screen video baby monitor — the listing calls it the world's first — priced at £76.49 and sitting fourth in our guide to video baby monitors. It runs on a private 2.4GHz FHSS link rather than your home WiFi, with no app, and its camera pans 355 degrees and tilts 120 degrees, with infrared night vision for a dark nursery.
Where the numbers stop agreeing is worth flagging before you pay. One specification field reads 'Water Resistance Level: Not Water Resistant' while another field in the same table reads 'Waterproof Rating: IP65', and 'Indoor, Outdoor' usage sits alongside both. The alert field says 'Audio Only' on a monitor sold on its picture. The rating breakdown beside the 4.4 average adds up to 100 votes, while the listing's own count is 1,739 ratings, so the bar chart is a sample rather than the whole set. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing itself — its specification table, its bullets and its customer reviews — and not from any testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Such a great product that I have purchased. Great customer service as well. Would definitely recommend, works on no WiFi so when our WiFi went out we could still use, would definitely recommend.”
Verified purchase“I purchased this camera as I have been using the single camera screen monitor for two years, now in need of a dual screen I wanted to stick with what I knew as the other one had been so good.I set up the new cameras and had issues with the sound quality on the unit, by this point I was out of the Amazon return window so contacted Hellobaby directly about the issues I was facing. Their customer service was impeccable, which these days is hard to come by!I was given some troubleshooting advice which didn't work and was asked to send a video of the issue I was facing. Within hours I'd received a further response advising a replacement unit had been issued to me which came within 48 hours (over a weekend too). The new unit works perfectly and I am really happy with this model too.I cannot fault the help and support I received this was fantastic and I would highly recommend the company and monitor! It is easy to set up, easy to mount to the wall and very user friendly, with perfect picture and audio.”

Questions people ask
Does the HelloBaby HB6560 need WiFi or an app?
No. The listing describes the HB6560 as a non-WiFi monitor using private 2.4GHz FHSS encryption, with no app and nothing sent to the internet, and says the screen auto-pairs about 2 seconds after power on.
What is the battery life?
The HB6560 bullets claim 16 to 30 hours of standby from one charge. The specification table lists the screen as battery powered at 5 volts and the camera as corded electric.
Is the camera waterproof?
The listing does not settle it. The field 'Water Resistance Level' says 'Not Water Resistant', while 'Waterproof Rating' says 'IP65', and 'Indoor Outdoor Usage' lists both Indoor and Outdoor. Both readings are in HelloBaby's own table.
How far can the camera move?
The HB6560 camera pans 355 degrees side to side and tilts 120 degrees, controlled remotely from the parent unit. Six mount options are listed, including ceiling, wall, crib, desk and freestanding.
What size is the screen?
The title and bullets say 6 inches, split screen, described as larger to reduce eye fatigue. The specification table on the same listing does not list a screen size at all.

£76.49, with an average of 4.4 out of 5 from 1,739 ratings at the time of writing. The camera is listed as compatible with the Hello Baby HB6550, HB6550-2, HB6560 and HB6560-2.
