Can this be used without wi-fi? for example, if wi-fi drops out?

No. It requires a connection to stay connected to the eachother.

When baby makes noise, does the unit play the sound of the baby or play an alert (or does it have option for both)?

When movement is detected but no audio it'll make multiple "beep" noises 4 times in a row. When audio is detected with the movement it won't do the beeping. Hope that helps. (Noticed while taking care of my niece)

What’s the battery life like on the screen unit?

Fairly short. About an hour or 2 from what I've noticed.

Can an additional camera be added to this unit?

You can't add a camera to the system, but you can add multiple VM901 systems to the app. I have one at home and one at Grandma's house and can view both on the app.

Use to be under £70!!

We bought this a year ago for £69. It’s now more than double!! I would not recommend this product even for £69, the picture quality/quality of the screen has completely deteriorated, the sound is okay but the connection to either the monitor or the app is very hit and miss, and only deteriorates over time as the aerial slowly breaks

Not a UK plug

Didn't realise it wasn't a UK standard plug, will revisit the review after I've purchased adapters and can actually use the product.

Clearly a secondhand product

This was clearly a product that had been returned, poorly repackaged and send back out. Returned for a refund.

DO NOT BUY - TERRIBLE QUALITY

This is a total rip-off. One of the worst quality baby monitors on the market.- Fails to connect to signal even when the camera is in the next room- Picture quality is appalling. So bad that we literally cannot tell which way around our baby is facing.- Poor battery life- The signal sometimes also randomly disconnects in the middle of the night
