Peace of mind
on May 25, 2023
Posted by: Jhowe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Peace of mind is the first thing I can think of when reviewing this baby monitor. I received the monitor as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I was so very excited. Being the parent of a newborn as we know can be intimidating, so to have a product to help me keep track of my baby’s rest, breathing, and to be able to see his little face whenever I wanted to makes this product worth it. I love the app, and it was fairly easy to set up. The monitor and floor stand were also easy to assemble. I was able to monitor my little guy’s breathing very easily with the band and if you have ever had a newborn you know it can be hard to tell without startling them! Overall this product is incredible and I will be recommending it to all of my expecting friends and family!

Good Camera But Needs Work
on May 25, 2023
Posted by: Melissa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using the Nanit camera for a while, I can say that I think it’s a good camera picture-quality-wise, but their insights and app could use some work.
In terms of the stand, it was easy to put together, but now that my baby is able to stand in the crib and teach for things, I worry that he might pull the stand down since it’s not attached to anything. I think the breathing band would be helpful for a newborn, but my baby is past the stage where I feel it’s really necessary.
I find that the insights are vaguely helpful. They tell you when your baby fell asleep or woke up, but it’s not always accurate; for example, if your baby moves around a lot in their sleep, the camera will pick it up as “waking up” even though they are asleep. I wish that I was able to manually watch playback (but of course that’s a feature you have to pay additional for).
In addition, the camera is always losing connection even though our wifi signal is strong, which is a major inconvenience when it happens while my baby is asleep because I can’t go in to unplug and plug it back in to reset while he’s sleeping.
All in all, I think this camera might be better suited for someone who has a lot of anxiety around whether their child is safe and breathing, but aside from that, I think using another wifi-enabled camera would be cheaper, and would allow for playback.

Favorite baby monitor
on May 25, 2023
Posted by: Baby
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this baby monitor from the Stellar Product Testing Panel… and I love it! It’s by far my favorite one that we’ve used in the 5.5 years of being a parent. It was so easy to set up and the stand is great because you don’t have to drill into the wall and it just angles right. Setting up the camera was a breeze. I was not able to use the breathing band because my baby is a bit chunky but did test it momentarily and it works really well. I would buy the bigger size but with the climate we live it we need to have baby in a sleep sack and the band needs to be on top of the clothes. So that’s really the only downfall to the setup is the breathing band needing to be overtop everything. The app is user friendly also and the notifications are timely. Overall if I needed more cameras I’d buy one to add on over anything else.

Amazing smart monitor
on May 25, 2023
Posted by: Ncsun26
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this monitor! So smart that it comes with a floor stand so baby cannot grab wires as they grow (like our baby had done with our previous monitor). We didn’t use the belly band because it was too small for our baby but the connection was easy and love how convenient it is to see baby on our iPhones whenever! Will definitely be purchasing for a friend who is having a baby soon.

Great for keeping baby safe
on May 25, 2023
Posted by: Canlunina
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We really enjoy using the Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor and Floor Stand.
What we loved most about the floor stand was being able to see directly into the crib which meant we could always see if our daughter's face was free of obstructions. With our previous camera it was hard to see anything except whether she was still in the crib or not! It only took me about 5 minutes to assemble and adjust, and I love that the cords are all covered until they're far from the crib. It also has a really strong infrared light so you can see more detail than other cameras.
We used the breathing band a few times, our daughter is 10 months now and it's been quite chilly so she's been in a sleep sack a lot of the time. I think the breathing band is amazing for newborn and younger babies, I bet it would also give a lot of peace of mind when children are unwell with respiratory illnesses.
The insights data were helpful, it was really useful to learn how long it was taking my daughter to put herself to sleep and I found it really useful during the day to know how long she'd been napping. It even gave me a tip that I was putting her down at different times each night and that I should try to keep the same bedtime!
We love the temperature monitoring because our nursery doesn’t have the same temperature as the rest of the home and we are on a different floor to our daughter. I also really like that I can look back during the previous night to see when my daughter woke up and put herself back to sleep.

Excellent Monitor
on May 25, 2023
Posted by: Whitney
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby monitor! We have been very happy with this monitor and floor stand. It was fairly easy to assemble and connect with the app on our phones and it is also very easy to move around if you need to for traveling or room changes.
The breathing band has provided us with comfort while our little one sleeps and we found it to work pretty well. Our little one would sometimes pull at the band but it never became a huge issue. As he gets older (he is 10 months) I think we will use it less since it becomes less necessary or important to us.
The insights data is most helpful for younger babies but is still good to know information for our 10 month old. It's helpful to see his progress in the form of sleep data at the end of the week and I'm always interested to see his longest stretch and whatnot. I think it might be most helpful if parents are sleep training or transitioning a baby to their crib. By the time we used it our baby was sleeping throughout the night so it wasn't incredibly helpful or necessary, but still fun to review.
This baby monitor has worked really well for our family that includes an almost 3yo and a 10mo. We love having easy access to their cameras when we are away from the home and have family or babysitters watching them and putting them to bed at naps and nighttime. We have had very few if any issues with the livestream with this current monitor. We specifically love the split screen feature since we have two kiddos so we can view them both at once; this is a total game changer!
The only cons that we've appreciated are background noise in videos if you have the background noise on the nanit app selected and some settings and features we wish "viewers" would have access to that they don't. If you approve a grandparent as a viewer-they don't have the ability to hear the video noise unless you make them an administrator. Personally, I prefer to disable all access as soon as a grandparent is done watching our kiddos, and it's a bit of a pain to have to go in and deselect all those permissions but it's not a huge deal. Also, if you take a video on your phone while your nanit camera app is also open, the sound carries into the video you record on your phone.
Overall, we have been thrilled with this monitor and really like the quality of video, ability to view two kiddos with the split screen, and consistent quality of the livestream.

Fantastic camera and absolutely worth it
on May 25, 2023
Posted by: RubiD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this baby monitor to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
The Nanit Pro with floor stand is absolutely worth the hype. First and foremost, setting it up was really easy. And I mean Really Easy. I was initially intimidated by the fancy, heavy box, but once I started, I realized there were only three parts total. Just assemble the stand sticks, attach the camera, and connect them to the plug in the wall. The longest part was waiting for the app to download on my phone.
First and foremost, the Nanit Camera's image quality is superb. The HD video stream provides crystal-clear visuals, ensuring you can see every little detail of your baby in the crib. There is an excellent night vision feature since it shows a clear image even in complete darkness. While there is no 360 camera and doesn’t have the option to move the camera remotely, you can adjust the angle and rotation manually. This is good because you have a steady and consistent image. However, you can rotate the image on your phone, which is helpful, and if you have a second Nanit camera, you can see them both simultaneously on a split screen. I was not initially thrilled by the tubes holding the wiring, but after placing it and plugging it in, I was very grateful that I would not have to worry about crawling or rolling babies getting tangled in the cord.
The Nanit Camera’s app has a sleep-tracking feature. The camera tracks the baby's movements throughout the night and learns where their favorite spot to snuggle into is. This invaluable data includes sleep duration, sleep quality, and even the number of times your baby wakes up. I found this feature, accompanied by the use of the sleep band, to be incredibly helpful in understanding my baby's sleep habits and making informed decisions to promote better sleep. I was impressed by the quality of the sound of the two-way audio, the options for background noise (birds, waves, white noise), and the option to turn on a nightlight, which is my favorite feature since the brightness can be adjusted right from your phone and the light aims up so that it provides light for the whole room without disturbing baby or blinding momma.

Easy Convenient and Reliable
on May 25, 2023
Posted by: Chelsea
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was delighted to receive the Nanit Pro camera from the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review. We are in the process of moving and this has come in so handy as we’ve traveled to visit friends and family before we move. The device was super easy to set up and the app is very user friendly, providing lots of interesting insights including temperature and humidity sensors. Connecting to wifi, pairing and positioning the camera, etc. were all a breeze. I received the floor stand, which we used for several days at home before we hit the road. My husband and I really liked the sleep tracking that using the floor stand provided and we liked that it didn’t need a ton of adjusting to get the right angle. We didn’t use the breathing band because my daughter is too big for it now but we will definitely use the Nanit breathing band if we have another child in the future. I can see that it would have provided huge peace of mind to us as new parents.
We liked the camera so much that we purchased the travel stand and case and have been using it for several weeks now. It takes maybe 3 minutes to set up in a new place (just have to update network in the app) and the wide angle of the camera means it’s super easy to position when you’re in a new space (for example, right now ours is placed on a box of diapers on a nightstand). Only downside is you don’t get the sleep tracking when using the stand so we’re looking forward to that when we get settled again.
The app consistently performs well, the video loads fast and is decent quality (our one critique is that the video quality could be a little better), and you can have sound running in the background on your phone while it is locked or you are using other apps. Doing so doesn’t completely destroy your battery either! The camera also has a sound machine built in so you can play white noise (or a few other sounds) and a nightlight on it as well. With its sturdy carrying case, this really makes it the perfect all in one travel companion!
Overall, we absolutely love our Nanit Pro and will continue to use it for years to come! Again, I received this product for free in exchange for my unbiased opinion.
