Nanit Pro 1080p HD Smart Baby Monitor & Flex Duo Stand, Featuring Split Screen and Alert Zone Function, Includes Small Breathing Band, White

We love our Nanit Pro. We have two! The floor stand is amazing for over the cot and doesn't need any drilling etc. The desk stand is also good. The App is great, detections are on point, live view is perfect. Has great variety of white noises and different brightness of light. We have two. Can see both kids on one app. Can even have the app on your phone with just sound in the background so you can use your phone but listen out for a cry!

Die Kamera funktioniert super bei Tag und bei Nacht mittels App. Die App verbraucht allerdings ziemlich schnell den Smartphone Akku, aber das ist das Produkt wirklich wert. Ich denke, es gibt nichts Vergleichbares auf dem deutschen Markt.

We’ve been using the Nanit baby monitor 24/7 for the last nine months, so I thought it was about time I wrote a review. The headline is, I wouldn’t buy it again. It feels like a baby monitor where the marketing push for subscriptions is miles ahead of what the product actually delivers. The positives - The camera quality is good. Crisp visuals and clear audio (aside from when white noise is playing, for obvious reasons). - The camera itself is small and fairly portable. Unfortunately, that’s about it for the positives. Although the camera is compact, it has to be mounted on a stand above the cot. Every time we go away, whether for one night or several, it’s an absolute faff to get the camera out from behind the cot, pack it up, load it into the car, and then set it all up again at the new location. We have friends with radio-based monitors that have a simple clip on the back, and after using this, we’re seriously considering getting one of those for our next trip. Staying on the topic of portability, this camera relies on Wifi. That means every time you go somewhere new (an Airbnb, a parent’s house, a friend’s place), you have to pair it with a new Wifi network. Sometimes this works first time, other times you have to turn it off and on and try again. In my experience, it usually connects within three attempts. The app itself is another major frustration. It often feels awkward and unintuitive, and it’s clearly designed to push you towards paid features. You’ll tap on options that appear to be standard, only to be met with a paywall for a very expensive subscription. I’m generally happy to pay for subscriptions if they offer good value, but the basic AI detection (awake, standing, being attended to) is really poor. It mis-detects around a quarter of events every day, which is far too high given how much they’re charging. On Android, there’s another issue. We had to buy a tablet to use as a dedicated overnight monitor or for grandparents, but the Android app won’t rotate properly into landscape. You can rotate the video feed, but the app itself stays in portrait mode, leaving huge empty bars on either side and a tiny video in the middle. Firmware updates are another pain point. I understand that a cloud connected device needs regular updates, but the way this is handled is terrible. Today (at 5am) I switched from my phone to the tablet as I was leaving for work, only for the tablet to announce that it had to enforce a firmware update and reboot immediately. There was no option to delay it. It didn’t even allow me to fade out or lower any sounds, it just cut them, rebooted, then turned them back on at the previous volume, waking the baby. It feels like this was designed without any consideration for real world usability. Internet dependency is another serious issue. There’s mention of a “local” mode, where you can add a local only user to view the camera over the wifi. However, if you haven’t set this up in advance and your internet goes down, you’ll discover that you can’t add users and often can’t access the camera at all. Sometimes it will say “local view only” for your accounts, but you can’t seem to force this mode. In my experience, if the device you’re using can’t access the internet, you can’t view the camera. There are plenty of threads online about this problem. It also means that when staying in rentals or Airbnbs, poor Wifi coverage can force you to move the travel cot into awkward places just to get a signal. The same is true for power, which affects more brands than just the Nanit, but as it requires mains power you will often need to travel with an extension lead as some of the older places we stay at don't have power sockets where you would tend to position a travel cot. Finally, the user management is unnecessarily complex. We have grandparents who occasionally look after the baby, and getting the app set up on their phones requires full user registration, email confirmation, and account setup. There’s no real benefit that justifies this level of friction. If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t buy this again. There’s clearly a heavy focus on driving users towards expensive subscription plans, but the app experience and AI quality just don’t justify the cost yet.

I got the Nanit pro with flex stand on prime day for 150 which was a great deal. I had wanted a Nanit monitor for a while but couldn’t decide which stand to get as the floor and wall stands seemed to come with a much bigger price tag but also more capabilities. The reality is this was quite misleading, as actually, the flex stand Nanit pro is just as capable of doing most of the same things as the more expensive stands, as long as it’s placed at an optimal position. They just don’t give you the instructions to access the capabilities automatically which is annoying and a bit sneaky. Anyway after some queries and one very helpful customer service assistant I found a solution that lets me get the high speed all night playback and sleep insights (without the bigger price tag). I’m sharing the solution on here so others can also benefit from the maximum that this Nanit with the cheaper monitor stand has to offer: So read on to see the workaround to be able to receive Insights with the Nanit Flex Stand (previously called the Multi-Stand). By default, they disable Insights to work on the Flex Stand. This is because the algorithm was designed to work best with a fixed height of 66 inches and the camera positioned above the wide side of the crib. Since the Flex Stand can be placed anywhere, it can provide the camera with a less optimal position, thus providing the algorithm with insufficient data which can cause inaccurate Insights. However, you do have the option to enable Insights on the Flex Stand if you so choose using these instructions: Tap "Baby Settings" > "Advanced" > Tap "Firmware Version" five times quickly and a hidden menu will appear > Tap "Mount mode" > Choose "Floor Stand." I’m now super happy with this monitor as I can actually access the features they had initially hidden from me (I have it on a shelf above the short side -top) of the crib and it works grand - in due course I’ll put the stand on a shelf at the optimum position (height of 66 inches and positioned above the wide side of the crib).

Had it for 6 months. Been a relatively good experience, except they constantly try and upsell. We've ended up only using it as live feed and not really bothered with the analytics as we didn't find them very helpful. (yes we know when the little one didn't sleep well). Main reason for 2 star though is that I tried to let the subscription lapse, except you need to be care as they use some dark patterns. 1. They charge you a week before the previous subscription lapses for the next year. Fortunately I use a card which just gets topped up for when a payment is needed. 2. After the payment in (1) failed I cancelled the plan as I didn't want the subscription, then 2 days later they still tried to deduct another payment. After this I also wanted to remove my card as was a bit unimpressed at this. There is no function to be able to do this. 3. After the 2nd attempt I emailed support, after 4 days received no answers, but they attempted to charge me again! Conclusion: Camera worked well, but they use shady practices to try and keep your subscription going in. 6 days in and 2 emails, I still haven't received a reply from their customer support.
