We love this camera!
We have had this for a couple of months now and I feel like I can give it an honest review. This thing is a game changer when it comes to better sleep and video quality of your little one sleeping. I use it for her naps and bedtime. It’s so helpful and if you buy a membership with it will track your babies sleep habits, memories, and will even show you their sleep milestones! We had a vtech camera at first and it just was so blurry we needed something we can look at and be like “ok she’s awake” super super helpful!! A little on the pricy side for cameras but id say it’s worth it

Disappointing and not worth the cost
My wife and I splurged on a few high-end items for our daughter, who was born last January. We got a convertible car seat, a formula dispensing machine, and a Nanit monitor.Two of these items changed our life and made surviving the first year much easier for our entire family. The Nanit, despite its price, is the odd one out — the one bad purchase of the three.We started out fairly happy with the Nanit. Putting it together was easy and it allowed us to keep an eye and ear on the baby while also using our phones for other things.However, we quickly ran into connectivity and loading issues (despite having high speed internet and not running into these issues with any other device in our house). The camera will take forever to load at times, not showing us our child when we get a notification that she’s in distress.The notifications for sound and motion consistently come minutes after we hear them in real life or on our backup monitor, the thermostat associated with the Nanit constantly says her room is much hotter than it actually is, which causes a few days of concern before we ended up just buying a secondary thermostat for her room.Even alerts on when she goes to bed or how long she’s been awake are grossly inaccurate. She could be standing up and screaming into the camera and it would say she’s been asleep for 7 hours.Something in the camera also occasionally makes a noise. On a few occasions, it felt like we turned on the app to peer through and it would show the baby asleep. But seconds later, she would wake up and stare right at the camera. Of all the things, I’m least sure this is Nanit’s fault and not just a coincidence, but it happened multiple times and did create a sense of dread whenever we’d open the camera.We were already unhappy with the Nanit, and thinking that we probably wouldn’t want to pick up a second one if we ever had a second kid (although the ability to connect them together was initially appealing). Then our daughter turned one last week and the Nanit shed multiple features because the trial it comes with ran out.It no longer tells us when the baby went to sleep, was last visited, or woke up, which is annoying, but it was so inaccurate that I don’t exactly miss it. It also locked all of her tracked data for a year. And worse, it locked some memory videos of my daughter’s wake-up’s behind a paywall. If we wanted to go back in and grab those, we’d need to sign up for Nanit’s subscription.The fact that a monitor this expensive even had a subscription is pretty disgusting to me, but the fact that it barely worked before and now it wants me to pay close to 100 bucks or over 300 bucks is insulting. I would’ve loved to put my parents or our childcare person on our app, but that was also locked behind an expensive subscription. Now that sub is even more expensive, and we’re never going to pay it.We put up with some inconsistencies and frustrations this year dealing with the Nanit. But the subscription nonsense has really put us over the edge. Now it’s just a very expensive video monitor that I can use to watch my kid (if it connects) and listen to her through my phone. There are a lot of cheaper options that can also do that.I wish we would’ve splurged on another monitor and avoided this one. If we have another kid, we’ll be picking up a different machine and sticking the neutered Nanit in our oldest’s room instead of the baby’s room.Hopefully, you avoid our initial mistake and spend your vital baby funds on something that will work for your first year and won’t try to swindle you the day after your kid turns 1. Good luck out there.

Great Monitor
Having this monitor has put my mind at ease. My son was born prematurely and had to come home on supplemental oxygen. I was originally going to get an owlet sock but when I saw the reviews on this monitor I had to try it. Knowing that this monitor will alert immediately if he stops breathing for more than 20 seconds puts my mind at ease at night. Being able to see that he is breathing is amazing. I can also monitor him from work when I have to be in early so I can alert my mother in law that he is waking up. Honestly highly recommend this monitor especially if you have a preemie.

so awesome!
super easy to set up, great quality, and makes me feel so much better being able to see AND hear my baby from anywhere

I like the bandits so much I purchased a second. My only complaint is that you have to purchase the plan which is a super annoying money grab when you are already paying for such an expensive camera

We bought this for the breathing monitoring feature for our newborn son. I was skeptical, and I was right. This feature is a joke. Tracking is lost a few times a week at least, and it never tells you when it does. You just wake up, and realise you have to set it up again. Well, if you still have a kid, right? Oh, and I said tracking? I meant fake tracking. I once put my hand in the breathing band and simulated breathing at various frequencies within the claimed range, and it always showed the same thing. At one point in this experiment my wife called me, and the alarm went off 10 minutes after I was gone ! 10 minutes ! What kind of baby can be deprived of oxygen for 10 minutes and live another day?If you want to deceive your partner by giving them a false feeling of safety, go for it. Otherwise steer clear of this, because you’ll actually end up with a massively overpriced IP camera. Which, in our case, even broke without any reason after 6 months (no feed, can’t re-pair, its wifi is dead).For those (like me) who might wonder if the review wasn’t made by someone who did not know how to use it: I design satellite products for a living. I can assure you I know an unreliable product when I see one, and this is one of those. Don’t be fooled by the sleek design.
