Nanite
Baby monitors come in all shapes and sizes, but most of them are standard plinth designs that stand on a shelf and are meant to point to your baby’s crib. That’s one way the Nanit Plus differs: this monitor sits over the crib and points straight down so you can see the action from a bird’s eye view. That’s not the only thing that makes Nanit an interesting choice (more on that in a moment). And while it’s a bit expensive at $ 290, you can get that now Nanit Plus for $ 240 Cutting out the coupon on the product page will save you $ 50.
Not surprisingly, the Nanit Plus provides your baby with HD video and audio, and you can soothe your kids with two-way audio. In addition to the basics, however, Nanit can track and analyze your baby’s sleeping habits and regularly give you a Fitbit-like report on how well your Tyke is napping.
Personally, one trait that really appeals to me is the ability of the camera to monitor the baby’s breathing without attaching electronics to or around the baby. She uses “breathing clothes” – baby clothes with special geometric markings that allow the camera to measure breathing minute and send real-time notifications when your child needs attention.
Nanit Plus can be easily attached to the wall, is out of reach for curious hands and is also Alexa compatible.
Look at that:
