Excellent camera quality and app experience
This Nanit video monitor has really excellent camera quality at both day and night. I've used several monitors in my 6+ years of parenting, and this is seriously the best calrity I've ever seen. It does have four tiny red lights around the camera lens that come on when the light is low, but these didn't seem to bother my baby and I didn't notice them at all when sleeping in the same room. I'm also super impressed with the app! Since this is solely an app based monitor system, there isn't an external parent unit. The app is soooo smooth and responsive. The motion and cry detection has been very accurate in my experience. It's so comforting to know that I'll be alerted when my baby wakes up without having the app open constantly. The app can also do picture in picture so that you can see the video feed while using your phone to do other things. There are a few things to be aware of when deciding if this monitor suits your needs. The camera is stationary; it can't zoom, pant or tilt so you have to be able to set it up in a position that will give you a good constant view of the crib. This works great when baby is contained to a crib, but could be annoying when a toddler graduates from the crib and you can't change the view of the camera without physically repositioning it. It also has several subscription tiers. Personally, I'd prefer that features be included with the purchase of the device. The monitor does function with basic features without a piad subscription. My main complaint here is that only two caregivers can have access to the account without a paid subscription, from my understanding. What if a grandparent or babysitter needs access for a limited time? Without an external parent monitor, there needs to be a better solution for caregivers other than parents. Overall, this is a really great monitor! I love how the app functions and the quality of the camera.

Baby Monitor Review
So far I am having a pretty good experience using this baby monitor. When I received this item from stellar product testing panel, it was very easy for me to assemble and set up. I love the monitor I received because it’s so easy to take with you on the go. I am often between my house and the grandparents house so that was very nice. I do very much like the quality of the camera on the app as well, it’s so clear and when you use the speaker to talk to your baby it sounds like you are in the room with them. I appreciate the little things too, it’s nice that it tells you the temperature in the room and you can play music or noises as well and the speaker quality is great. One thing that through me off is that you have to pay for a subscription if you want it to keep video history, so you can’t play back and see if how your baby got out of the crib or maybe you missed something funny that you want to see. The subscription really makes a difference because if I was buying this and knew there was a subscription, I probably wouldn’t purchase, it just seems a little extra. That is the only reason I took some stars off my review. I do love how I can check on my little one from anywhere, especially when I’m having family watch her and when I miss herThe quality and convenience is great.

Convenient travel monitor and stand
As a seasoned mom of three, I have never owned a baby monitor that utilized an app for on-the-go usage. With my youngest still taking regular naps while my oldest two want to play in the backyard, I needed a solution to be able to check in on my napping child without worrying about being within “range” for a normal monitor. The Nanit video monitoring app has been a game changer in keeping an eye on my sleeping child while being present with my older two. I am very impressed with the quality of video the app provides as the video and sound are incredibly clear. It is so nice to be able to “check in” even when we are out and have a sitter at home with our kids. I think for a parent who may feel nervous leaving their child for whatever reason, it’s essential to put you at ease. The app will also send notifications if the monitor senses motion in the crib or a sound. My absolute favorite feature might sound silly but I love how easy it is to move the monitor around in the room with the flex stand and how easily we can travel with it. The fact that we don’t have to bring an extra bulky monitor along with us on vacation makes for one less thing to worry about. Overall I have been very pleased with this monitor and know it’s going to be a staple in our household during these early childhood years. Thank you to the Stellar panel for gifting me this monitor in exchange for my honest review.

Peace of mind
I received this product from the stelllar product testing panel but have used a Nanit previously as well and I love it. I love that I can access the camera when I am working and check in on how the baby is doing as well as talk to him through it if I won’t get to see him for a longer period of time. I really like the memory time lapses it makes and the ability to go back through the previous recordings to see the baby moving around/check in if I heard a noise etc. I feel so much relief and honestly feel I sleep better from having it. I am a pediatrician and this is the monitor I recommend to patients due to my personal experience with it. Highly recommend!

Great quality and highly recommended
We were given the Nanit Essential Smart Baby Video Monitor as part of the Stellar Testing Panel. Setting up was very simple, straight forward, and the app was easy to navigate. Features we love: we use it during naps and sleep times mostly where my husband and I can leave the camera on and both of us will be able to monitor despite being at other parts of the house. The sound and video quality is great! It makes me feel as if I am right there in the room with them. It covers a broad picture where it’s not very often the kids are out of the picture which is nice! It also notifies me if there are any movement and lets me talk to them if needed. I do love how small and compact this is that we can take this anywhere. Very impressed with the video history and save features that if something precious happened I can easily save it. Having this as part of our routine makes it go 100x smoother! Great product and highly recommended to anyone with little ones!

We love our Nanit and
We love our Nanit and still use it even after 3 years, whether we’re at home or traveling. The ease of the app and the data features have given us so much peace of mind, especially when our oldest was a newborn. Excited to continue to use the sleeping data for when our second little one arrives in September!
