Boifun VB616: 4-inch screen, no WiFi needed

The Boifun VB616 is a video baby monitor that works without a router or a phone: a 4-inch monitor, a camera, and nothing else to set up. This page gathers what the seller lists on Amazon, what the site’s catalog keeps, and what remains unknown, to help you decide whether the model fits your situation. It rests on no hands-on use: every value comes from the seller.
No amazon.com price was recorded for this model on October 11, 2026, so none is shown here. That does not say the model is unavailable in the United States: the catalog is a snapshot per store. The button opens an Amazon search where you can check the current offer, bearing in mind that Amazon prices change with promotions.
What the seller lists for the VB616
The Amazon page describes a 4-inch IPS screen and a 720p image. The camera sends to the monitor over a private 2.4 GHz link (FHSS), presented as “no WiFi, no app, no subscription”. Night vision relies on 940 nm infrared light, listed as invisible to the child, with a clear image up to 10 meters (about 33 feet).
For comfort, the seller cites two-way audio, eight lullabies, temperature detection, a feeding reminder and USB-C charging for the screen. The zoom is digital, 3×. These are sales arguments, not measurements: how they work in a real bedroom depends on the room, the walls and the lighting.
The full spec sheet

A “Not disclosed” cell means the figure does not appear on the seller’s page. Here that is the case for camera movement: the catalog does not make it up.
Who is the VB616 for?
This model answers a simple situation: one bedroom, a monitor within reach, and no wish to depend on a WiFi network or an app. A direct link between camera and screen also avoids creating an account or letting a video stream pass through an online service, a point covered in our guide on baby monitor hacking.
It suits you less if you want to check the image from your phone while out, or if you are looking for resolution beyond 720p. For those needs, the Boifun 2K WiFi range is the place to start. And if you still hesitate between the two families, the guide WiFi or no WiFi baby monitor lays the choice out.
✓ Pros
- No WiFi setup and no app, according to the seller
- Night vision listed as invisible infrared (940 nm)
- Screen powered over USB-C
- Two-camera version available in the same family
✕ Cons
- 720p image, while the WiFi models list 2K or better
- Camera movement not disclosed
- No viewing from a phone without WiFi or an app
- Battery life listed only for VOX mode (up to 11 h)
Boifun VB616-2: the version with two cameras
The Boifun VB616-2 keeps the 4-inch screen, the 720p image and the link without WiFi, and adds a second camera. One monitor then serves both cameras. The seller’s page describes cameras that are turned by hand, 360° horizontally and 90° vertically, with no remote control: you have to go and set the angle in the room.

The VB616-2 has no amazon.com price recorded for October 11, 2026 either. The second camera mostly interests households who want to watch two beds, which the page on Boifun split screen baby monitors develops.
A baby monitor does not replace an adult
Whatever the model, a baby monitor warns you of a noise or shows an image, and it does not replace an adult being present. The listed features (temperature detection, reminders) are aids, never a guarantee.
Where to go next
To compare this model with its neighbor in the range, see the page on the Boifun VB805, which moves up to a 5-inch screen. For an overview of the models without WiFi, the page on non WiFi baby monitors from Boifun brings them together.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Boifun VB616 need WiFi or an app?
No. According to the seller’s Amazon page, the monitor and the camera talk over a private 2.4 GHz FHSS link, with no WiFi, no app and no subscription. A direct consequence is that you cannot watch the image from a phone when you are away from home.
How long does the VB616 monitor battery last?
The seller lists a 1,760 mAh battery and up to 11 hours in VOX mode, meaning the screen only lights up when there is a noise. Battery life with the screen on continuously is not disclosed.
Is there a two-camera version?
Yes, the Boifun VB616-2: the same 4-inch screen and the same link without WiFi, with a second camera. The section further down covers how it differs.
