Nanit The Complete Monitoring System
Baby April 9, 2024

Babies are scary. Not in a “They’re gonna take over the world!” kind of scary (although, now I think about it, what else are they going to do when they grow up?!), but in a ‘heart in your mouth every time you hear something out of the ordinary or they go anywhere within 10 feet of something potentially dangerous’ kind of way. There you go, I’m not going to sugarcoat it for all you expecting parents out there, you WILL experience fear the likes of which you have never known but, thankfully, we have stuff that can help ease that feeling and (more than likely) increase your own life expectancy at the same time!
What this system provides is, quite simply, peace of mind. It comes with a camera, wall mount, a swaddle and a breathing band. The breathing band has geometric shapes over it that the camera locks on to and tracks and so is able to keep tabs on your baby’s sleeping patterns and rhythm. You get a free trial of Nanit’s Insights Sleep Plan included with your purchase and this is where the monitor really comes in to its own. As well as being able to watch the live feed from anywhere (including the ’picture within picture’ feature allowing you to keep it open and viewable on your device while doing other things), the app provides an analysis of the sleep your baby has had and how good for them it was. This means you’re able to make informed decisions on all things related to their sleep based on real data. Of course, this is all in real-time too so it should come as no surprise that there are instant alerts for things such as baby standing up or starting to cry, giving you the peace of mind you need to be able to do all those things you can’t normally do while baby is awake. A parent’s work is never done!
The camera itself also has two-way audio so quite handy when they start to get a little older and able to understand when it’s time to go to sleep and stop playing while they think you’re not watching… The quality is 1080p HD and is also encrypted and the whole system is compatible with most popular software systems. There is a charge to continue using the app and without it, you’re looking at a simple camera with a live feed, just to warn you. RRP £379
