Nanit Smart Baby Monitor review

The Nanit Smart Baby Monitor is built around an overhead view of the crib. Nanit sells the system at $289.99 with a choice of Floor Stand or Wall Mount at no extra cost, and the site showed a 20% code when we checked. From the overhead position the camera tracks sleep, and Breathing Motion Monitoring also works when you move the camera to the Anywhere Stand. Nanit says an Insights Plan is not required for the core monitor: live video, sound and motion alerts, temperature and humidity tracking, two-way audio, white noise, a nightlight and up to two users all work without it. Google Home viewing and web streaming at my.nanit.com need the plan. The stream uses 256-bit AES encryption and the app runs on phones and tablets, with Alexa support. Weak points: the Anywhere Stand gives only a 130-degree view and no sleep tracking, there is no parent screen unless you add the Home Display, and returns within 30 days carry a $15 restocking fee.
