Best Monitor We've Ever Had
on February 4, 2026
Posted by: Ramesh Z.
We're using nanit for our third child, based on a recommendation from our younger siblings. Prior to nanit, for our first two kids, we used a traditional offline baby cam set up across the room from the crib, paired with a screen we could (mostly) take with us around the house, depending on the signal strength.
The nanit has completely blown away our old baby monitor. Things we love are: 1) phone notifications for motion and baby crying: these are quick, accurate, and very reassuring 2) camera position: having the camera above the crib is infinitely better than across the room. We can see baby's face and body clearly (including whether their eyes are open or closed). The video clips are excellent quality and show how much baby is moving around during the night 3) monitor screen: the monitor tells you how long baby has been asleep and awake in hours & minutes. It monitors temperature and humidity, has great volume and brightness controls, and feels like a high quality tablet instead of the chunky traditional monitor screen we had. We (fortunately) haven't tested durability or fall resistence yet - if it turns out to be fragile that would change our opinion somewhat 4) parenting team: each parent has their own admin account on nanit and other "team members" can be added and removed by an admin. It's great to have our own passwords in case we forget or need to reset them, and it's nice to be able to add and remove other family members or sitters if we want.
There are many other features in the app that we haven't tested or used, and we're on the free trial for the lowest tier plan currently (the "sleep plan"), which meets our needs just fine. We also haven't traveled with it yet, so we've yet to test that experience.
Overall we can't recommend nanit strongly enough - it's one of the best tools we have for baby care this time around. If you're on the fence between nanit and a traditional offline baby monitor, the benefits of the nanit thoroughly justify the cost difference.
I love love love my Nanit! I've used Nanit for 3 years with my first child and recently purchased the system for my second that is coming soon! I'm using the new monitor now and it's amazing! I love not having to use my cellphone all the time. 10/10 would recommend!
The video clarity on the Nanit monitor is excellent—I can see my baby very clearly, even in low light, which is something I really appreciate and rely on. That said, the monitor itself has some frustrating issues. The display is very slow to load, and most of the time I can’t turn the camera on directly from the monitor. I usually have to use my phone instead, which defeats the purpose of having a dedicated display. On top of that, the battery on the monitor drains extremely fast, making it hard to use for long periods without constantly recharging. Overall, the camera quality is great, but the performance and battery life of the display really need improvement.
I absolutely love the screen display ! It has been such a huge convenience with having the display. Portable and the battery holds pretty well. I have some suggestions for updates on this monitor screen but overall it’s so easy to use and much better than nanit constantly running on my phone. I’m about to have my 3rd baby so this will be very helpful!
I was a little nervous about purchasing a first generation new product, but it has worked flawlessly. This is the one thing I always wished Nanit had, because it makes it so much easier for sitters that don’t really need a profile, but do need access occasionally. Not to mention it obviously allows me to have it up without taking up a part of my phone screen. It will be even more essential when baby #2 comes! Highly recommend!
The entire system is excellent. All the way from the software to the hardware. The system is easy to use and helps give me peace of mind while my child naps.
Worth every penny! With my last baby, I was constantly on the cameras watching to make sure they were breathing. With the breathing band, I am able to relax and know baby is ok!
We’ve been extremely happy with this Smart Baby Monitor System. The video quality is clear day and night, the audio is crisp, and the connection has been very reliable. I love how easy it was to set up and how intuitive the app is to use—especially during those middle-of-the-night check-ins. The peace of mind this monitor provides is priceless, and it’s been such a helpful tool for keeping an eye on our baby while still getting things done around the house. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a dependable, easy-to-use baby monitor.
