Leave a Review Nanit
Many excellent features; only a few bugs
Probably the best baby item we purchased. Love being able to check the monitor from anywhere via WiFi or cell service. Zooming in & taking pics is also great. When baby was smaller, the “breathing wear” function put our minds at ease. Also really nice to have the temperature and humidity always being measured. Lastly, it’s convenient to have the monitor on our phones, rather than having to use a separate device. Nice to have options to mute sound, hear it only when looking at the screen, or hear it even with screen turned off.
We have had some glitches when Nanit has pushed out a new software update, and when our camera went on the fritz after nearly a year of working well, we had to jump through some customer service hoops to get a replacement. That said, all reps were smart & friendly and we did get a replacement eventually. Tip: contact customer service via phone rather than email; it was much faster in our experience.Show lessNYCApril
Parents Love Sleep Data
My husband and I fell in love with this product just reading about it, but now that we’ve been using it a couple of weeks, we love it even more. Our daughter started sleeping in her crib the first night we came home from the hospital. We keep our Fire 8 Plus in our room on loud with the app running in the background so we don’t burn the battery on our phones at night. There is barely a second of delay. When our daughter cries you hear her first and then an echo through the app. The key is getting the band situated correctly each night. We were using the band in the beginning and swaddling her (which you’re not supposed to do). We got a red alert on the second night (the most terrifying noise to wake up to). Our daughter was fine and breathing but the layers from the swaddle and band must have made the reading difficult. I will say the red alert will give you some false alarms which I would rather have happen than not. However, all in all we’ve really enjoyed watching the nightly summaries that are produced the following morning to see how many times our daughter woke up, for how long, and how long it took us to get back to sleep after a feeding. Additionally, we love that you can turn the camera off when it’s not in use so we keep ours turned off during the day. Last, but not least, when the time comes that we need to travel to visit family, I love that we can take the camera with us and utilize the stand for traveling. Such a great feature!Show lessSavvyvt
One of the best purchases we’ve made
Nanit is, hands down, one of the best purchases we have made for our baby. We have the wall mount as well as the multi-stand. We’ve taken the multi-stand into different rooms and even with us during stays at hotels. The added bonuses that add value to this product are the milestone messages they send to your inbox to help with caring for your baby, the newly added nightlight feature that lets you do a sleep timer and has a dimming function, the sounds that also have a timer function, the customizable notifications for sound and movement, and the talk-back function. We absolutely love our Nanit and it’s honestly (and randomly) become our baby’s favorite thing to look at during bedtime (and mid-night wakings) that somehow help soothe her back to sleep. We used the breathing wear in her early months and that was super helpful too! As we got more seasoned in not worrying about her too much while sleeping, we stopped using it, but it still is something I recommend for first-time parents (better this than a wearable tracking sock- I’ll leave that product unnamed haha). Thank you Nanit for creating an amazing product.Show lessFreshnsteezy
Was great for quite a while....
Worked great for quite a few months, but my baby is 8 months (used it that long), and the sound keeps going in and out ALL the time, and we keep loosing connection...several times a night. It’s VERY annoying bc if you have the sound on like we do at night, it wakes you up all night if you’re a light sleeper at all. I think this might defeat the purpose of a baby camera. The feature that makes it stand out from regular baby monitors is the breathing band that works with it. But, of course you have to buy the expensive monitor and then the bands separately. Also tells the temperature in the room, which is a nice thought, if it was accurate. We recently moved our baby to a crib instead of smaller bassinet, and the base of the camera is so huge that the crib has to be about a foot, maybe more, from the wall. With all this being said, I do love the breathing band feature (that you pay extra for). This, to me, is about the only thing worth it that separates it from a traditional baby monitor. And, I don’t really care about the fact that it can be through an app on your phone.Show lessaeGbanaglo
Love my Nanit!
So happy we saved up to get this super fancy baby monitor - it’s worth every penny! Not only can both sets of grandparents watch the live feed from across the globe, it also has many functions that gave my husband and I some peace of mind during our first few months as new parents. We also purchased and Owlet monitor when our son was born but once we saw how great the Nanit system was we returned the Owlet as we never ended up needing to use it. My husband especially loved this because he leaves early for work each morning, and he is still able to view our son whenever he is in his crib.
The customer service platform is easy to use and relatively quick to respond, and they even helped us to set up a stand in addition to the wall mount we purchased (to make the monitor mobile and move from our bedroom to the nursery). The app is super easy to navigate too, and it comes with adorable sounds and music that will play through the monitor for your baby.
Thank you Nanit for all the help you provided us during these first 5 months, and thank you for all of the help that I am sure we will receive in the future.Show lessMaika Cairns
Best Monitor
Even thought we have had a few “connection” issues. This has been by far the best investment we have made for ourselves and our now toddler.
I love that I am able to see our baby’s room/crib no matter the distance. I have gone travel for work and still able to see and tell my daughter good night thought the monitor and app. I love the temperature and humidity features in the app, specially on those days my baby is sick. The integrated light is a ++ specially for those late night and early mornings and middle of the night accidents in bed. Just enough light to see but not too much to fully wake baby up. The integrated white noise feature is pretty amazing too, if for some reason I forget to turn on our white noise machine and I’m out of the room already, I don’t have to go back in and turn the machine on, I can take advantage of the app and monitor and turn on the build in white noise. Pretty awesome.
Lastly, the different stands make the minutos adaptable .. you are able to move it around if needed with the stand or set it up in the wall with minimal effort. Super easy to install. I would definitely be getting a second one and also use the breathing and heart rate feature that comes with the extra accessory the monitor provide. I wish I got this monitor sooner.Show lessJezsC
The best I love it.
The nanit was the first and only camera I have used and I wouldn’t want to use another camera. The insights are the best I’m glad I get to use it for free for a year wish it was included indefinitely. But the clarity is amazing I can actually see my daughters lashes and see whether her eyes are open or closed love that you can zoom in. I love having it on my phone it’s the best. I’m a nurse and I work at night so being able to just go onto my phone and take a look at her is priceless it doesn’t bother me not having a physical monitor in hand. I mean I’m usually on my phone anyway and can just click into the app to look. Only downside is it obviously drains your battery ALOT but that’s kind of expected I mean it’s streaming live on your phone. I just make sure I keep my phone charged. I’m the type that doesn’t really write reviews but I read reviews all the time to determine whether or not to get something and I’m so glad I purchased this camera. Trust me if your having doubts just get it.Show lessashleeoliviatommy
Much better than Miku
We had the Miku starting off with our newborn. It would crash, turn off randomly, the no breathing alarm would falsely go off all the time (which was terrifying) even when you had exited the app, and it had very poor quality video. It also made you go into the settings to turn off the breathing sensor every single time you took the baby out of the crib, which is near impossible to remember to do before you’re picking a crying baby up.
After experiencing how bad a product could be, we were absolutely delighted to come across the Nanit. The best part is the reliability. Not once has the app crashed and I can fall asleep knowing I will be woken up by my baby’s first sounds through my phone instead of shrieking from the next room, as I did with the Miku. Also, not once has the no breathing alarm gone off. What a pleasure. It would have been a little harder to appreciate all those things if I hadn’t gone through the nightmare of the Miku! But honestly, the Nanit is worth every penny. I’ve recommended it to all my friends.Show lessTeer0
Lots of issues
I was really excited to use this and the first few days were awesome. Then little but little glitches started taking the place. The worst one is that every night now between midnight and 2am the app will say that my 6mo old son was taken out of bed...when we was not. You look at the video connected to that “activity” and he’s just laying there asleep. So as a result it stops tracking data and says my son wasn’t in bed the rest of the night. So essentially this product is useless for anything other than live viewing. This is really a shame because we have another good monitor but I specifically bought this to have the ability to look back at his activity overnight while I’m sleeping so I can see what’s going on during nights when he’s waking up a lot. This is super frustrating for a $300 product PLUS the cost of the “insights” membership. Also, there should be an option to input data like naps outside the crib etc since everyone knows parents sometimes have to take their kids to appts etc and they nap in the car or in places outside their room. Very disappointed, they need to fix their technology.Show lessandiekap
Love it but one suggestion
Love the nanit !! Super easy to install and use and love that the camera floats directly above the baby versus from a certain angle.
My only suggestion is regarding the new feature recently added called “night mode” which dims the app so that you can leave the app open at night without having the app shining brightly while you sleep. I do love the feature ! BUT I would recommend that they modify it a bit to allow you to set a time frame for the night mode to automatically turn on and off by itself. Right now i have to turn it on (getting ready for bed) and off (in the morning for the rest of the day) which kinda defeats the purpose of the feature. It should just do this automatically. If I have to manually turn it off and on every night/day then I’m wasting the same amount of time I was wasting before where I was dimming and brightening the light on my screen, before the night mode feature was created.
Hope this makes sense! Seems like an easy fix!Show lesscachlau
