VTech VM3254 Parent Unit Video Baby Monitor

This is the parent unit receiver for a VTech VM3254 Digital Video Baby Monitor system. The device is constructed from a white molded thermoplastic housing with a rectangular, handheld form factor featuring rounded corners. On the reverse side, the unit includes a primary circular speaker grille for audio monitoring, a secondary smaller pinhole grille likely for a microphone or chime, and a recessed 'RESET' button. A prominent bulge on the left side of the rear panel serves as a battery compartment or ergonomic grip. The center contains a manufacturers identification label specifying the model (VM3254), power requirements (5V 1A), serial number (1XX00235235), and various regulatory markings including CE and UKCA certifications. The condition shows significant signs of use, including visible surface scuffing, accumulated grime in the seams and speaker perforations, and minor scratches concentrated around the corners. The plastic exhibits slight yellowing common with age and environmental exposure. The screen side is not visible in this image to assess display health, but the rear housing suggests a mid-2010s to early 2020s mass-market consumer electronic design focused on functionality and utility over aesthetic luxury.
