Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor & Wall Mount – Wi-Fi HD Video Camera, Sleep Coach and Breathing Motion Tracker, 2-Way Audio, Sound and Motion Alerts, Nightlight and Night Vision, Includes Breathing Band

We use the camera to watch over our baby while sleeping and are pleased with the quality and alerting capabilities. We think the $10.00/month subscription requirement to see activities during the past 12 hours is a ripoff. Would rather use other products that can store on a local device, even an inexpensive security camera that would be hundreds of dollars cheaper and no required subscription. If you want or need breathing or heartbeat monitoring maybe you need this high priced offering. For simple altering when the child awakes, wish we would have made a different purchase decision.

Great quality! So easy to install and set up!

Prior to biting the bullet and spending the $$$ for this monitor, I had tried a few other Wifi baby monitors, but was terribly unsatisfied with them. The Owlet Cam app would freeze the sound or video feed randomly and cause me to miss my baby crying (Owlet customer service told me to just restart the app, but if Im ASLEEP I cant do that!) The VTECH Wifi cam I used, I was convinced it was defective because it just wouldnt stay connected to the receiver in my 800 square foot apartment. They sent me a replacement and it had the same issue. And when that one disconnects, it beeps pretty loudly to wake you up. One night I didnt sleep at all because it just wouldnt reconnect so I went and laid in my babys room. I even got an expensive Wifi Mesh system with 4 satellites and this did not solve the connectivity issue, so that got returned as well. Anyway, now that you know the history, lets look at the Nanit. I had wanted a Nanit from the start, but its just so expensive compared to all the others! But when I went and did research and read reviews, I couldnt find one that I could guarantee would work for me. After the Owlet issue I was hesitant to use a product that didnt have a physical receiver, but I decided I would just try it, and if it didnt work then I would return it. Bottom line: I am absolutely blown away by how good this camera is! The picture quality is good even at night, the app has never once crashed or frozen, and there is a backup connection (local mode) if the Wifi ever fails (which sometimes it does say it lost connection, but I never lose my feed if Im in the house). Nanit also provides a lot more important information (IMO) than the Owlet Cam did. I dont have the Nanit subscription, but the information I get from the basic app is perfect. It shows when baby wakes up, whether baby was put to bed asleep, time to fall asleep (if they werent already asleep), how long baby was out of bed, and when significant sounds were picked up (crying, etc). The paid version gives you deeper analytics of babys sleep habits, if you want that. The app does allow background sound so you can listen with the screen locked or while using another app, which is very helpful! I will say that my husband and I pretty quickly disabled motion and sound notifications on our phones because they were very spammy and not that useful for us. I cannot review the breathing band, since my baby was too big for the one that came with it, and now that hes older I dont worry that hes going to stop breathing every night. Im sure it works great, considering how great it works in general.

For a baby camera that costs this much, you might expect better image quality and a better feature set than lower priced competitors. We started with a nanit pro and still use it today, but since it is not very easy to transport we bought a more mobile monitor for a trip we went on. The much cheaper mobile monitor has better image quality and comparable features. The biggest problem with the nanit is that some pretty basic features are part of the 12 months of free insights you get when you purchase the camera new. Just a simple activity log and information about when the baby woke up from their most recent sleep on a rolling daily basis should be a free feature. Our one year of free basic insights just expired, and the nanit is now nothing more than a sub-par camera. That mobile monitor I mentioned earlier with the better image quality? We still have and use that and it provides that basic information about wakeup time and noise detection as standard with no premium subscription. Overall I am super disappointed that basic functionality requires a subscription. It feels very bait and switchy to me.

The product itself is great. Great quality, sleep tracking is awesome, BUT, to unlock its full potential you need a $250/YEAR(!!!) subscription… With the camera price point, I would think the subscription would be max $100/year.

Great baby monitor for first time parents. The breathing band gets a little too warm to wear on hot days when you dont have AC. Also, they could have a separate monitor, I would buy it in a heartbeat instead of using up my phone battery, but the camera is so good for my peace of mind that Ill gladly trade my battery for that.

We love our nanit monitors!! Picture quality is great and love being able to see my babies on the app from anywhere. Breathing bands work great she give me a peace of mind. I highly recommend this monitor!!

I am so happy someone told me about this product! As I was having trouble sleeping with my last baby and knew I would again with this baby as I was scared of them having low oxygen but this has helped so much!

We LOVE our Nanit. We had a nicu baby, so we were hyper aware of everything basically. We got both an owlet and Nanit and find the Nanit is so much more reassuring. It updates quickly when you click on the app and it’s got so many features that help us sleep as new parents. Totally recommend!
