Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor & Floor Stand – 1080p Wi-Fi Video & Sound Camera, Sleep Coach and Breathing Motion Tracker, 2-Way Audio, Compatible with iOS and Android Phones, Includes Breathing Band

My husband and I were terrified to bring our premature baby home without some way to monitor her breathing. She had some episodes in the NICU where she stopped breathing so we ordered several monitors just in case when they told us she was ready to come home. This was the one we kept. It’s so comforting to know that if she stops breathing, we are alerted right away even if we aren’t in the room. Putting on her breathing wear sleep sack is part of our baby girl’s sleep routine and she loves her “blankie”! The alerts for sound and motion are a little obnoxious (we live on a busy street so big trucks driving by set off the motion alerts and sirens set off the sound alarms so we even get them when we aren’t home) but it is awesome whenever she’s in her crib because we know if she’s waking up or whatever. If you are deciding between this and the owlet, we preferred this. It’s an investment in peace of mind and super helpful. It even has a nightlight and sound machine built in! My only complaint would be that I wish I could turn off the sound for when the baby is out of the crib “too long”. Sometimes it wakes her up just before I put her back so I have to remember to turn off the monitoring as soon as I get her out to nurse/rock/change/bottle her. It’s really cute getting to see the little updates/videos too! I didn’t think I was going to love it this much but I’m so glad we got it!

Customer service exceeded expectations when the unit arrived defective. Replacement shipped quickly and works perfectly.

I originally wasn’t happy my wife spent so much on a “baby monitor” when there were less expensive options that were good enough. And why not just get a cheap indoor WiFi cam instead? This is a camera built and developed for a specific purpose and it performs that purpose incredibly well. Now, I’m such a convert that I bought one for grandma’s house.The night vision and picture quality are terrific. We haven’t used the breathing tracker or growth tracker so can’t comment on those. The sound and motion notifications work perfectly. Two way audio is a nice addition. We love that we can get notifications on our phone or iPad. “Background audio” is a nice feature to be able to switch away from the app and still hear what’s going on. My wife and I travel for work a decent amount so it’s nice to be able to check in from anywhere in the world. Our internet went out once and we could still keep an eye on our little one through the local connection.We don’t really use the analytics but they seem to be pretty good. Temp and humidity are great features as well.The only real drawback for us is spending extra on the yearly subscription and that’s really just to have access to past events beyond 24 hours and stored live video. Otherwise you can only look at events for the past 24 hours.One thing I appreciate is the continuing development. They just added split screen for dual cameras. We won’t use that yet but it’s nice to have and nice to know they’re working on adding new features and answering customer feedback.Final say: Buy it. You won’t regret it.

The Nanit Pro is an excellent product for so many reasons. The ability to view our daughter through the video stream, the built in night light so we can see what we’re doing when we need to take her out of bed, the built-in sound machine, and the video recaps to give us a sense of how long she’s sleeping consecutively. Highly, highly recommend this product.Now for my fellow deaf and hard of hearing parents…one of the reasons we chose this monitor in particular is because of the ability to push notifications from the monitor to our phones and smart watches. However this is where I discovered a major limitation - there is no smart watch that allows me to customize the length or intensity of the vibration alerts so it wakes me up when she cries at night. Which is super unfortunate, because the Nanit is excellent at picking up on her cries throughout the house and not just right next to her. I’ve tried multiple other systems and they just don’t match the sensitivity level of the Nanit. During the day, it’s great because I can be anywhere in the house and receive the quick buzz to let me know she’s crying. But I’m still working on the night piece.With that said, I’ll keep searching for a solution for my particular needs, but as far as baby monitors go, we love our Nanit!

I tried out a radio baby monitor before Nanit due to concerns over WiFi hacking/security. However, soon after my newborn arrived I realized that carrying around a baby, burp cloths, my phone, and a monitor was too much. I opted to switch to Nanit to have the baby monitor on my phone.I have absolutely loved the Nanit. The picture quality is unmatched by the other monitors I’ve tried, including the Nest cameras. It has all the features we need and even puts cute little videos together as your baby grows up. My newborn is now a toddler and I have a new, newborn, and we have been using the split screen feature every night. I continue to use the original camera with no issues and bought another for the new baby. As a bonus, my immediate family also loves being able to check on their grandkids/niece and nephew. It makes our out of town relatives feel closer.The only con I can think of is the price! If you can afford it, this is one of my most used baby items.
