The Nanit Plus looks identical to the original model, with the same white camera design. You position it directly over the center of where your baby sleeps so it can monitor motion in the crib or bassinet as well as about a foot outside of it (called the Parent Pickup Zone in the app).
You can install the camera with a wall mount, which is the cheapest option at $299, or get the more easily movable floor stand, which the crib pushes against the wall, for $379. I received the latter for testing and it wasn’t any more difficult to put together than a modern pop-up tent. Each option offers cable management—prying baby hands can’t unplug the camera when the power cord is housed in a metal pole.

baby’s breathing, sounds, and sleeping patterns |
The Miku Pro looks a lot like its predecessor, the Miku Smart Baby Monitor, which was already one of the best-looking models on the market. The camera measures 5.3 by 2.8 by 2.6 inches (HWD) on its non-removable base, upon which it swivels in almost any direction.
You can stand it upright on a shelf or desk, but the Miku Pro is designed to be mounted (with the included wall mount) above a crib. Not everyone wants to drill into drywall, however, so there is an optional $99 floor stand made of aluminum poles and a heavy, tapered base. If you need to add the stand, the Nanit Pro Complete is better for your budget—the $379 monitor includes one in the box.
For digital storage, the Miku Pro and the Nanit Pro are about even. The Nanit Insights online option, which includes cloud storage of 30 days of video clips and sleep tracking data, is only free for a year and then costs $50 annually. Miku’s online storage of motion, sound, and noise events (seven days’ worth) is always free; if you want it forever, you can download it to your phone.

Owlet was one of the first companies to offer a smart sock that can alert parents if their sleeping infant isn’t breathing or lacks a heartbeat—and, of course, if they’ve somehow pulled off the sock. The latest version included here—the Smart Sock 3—has a new sensor and design compared with the previous model, and sells separately for $299. On its own, the Owlet Cam is $149. Therefore, the Owlet Monitor Duo bundle saves you $49. (If you want to use the sock on a child older than 18 months, you need the $69.99 Smart Sock Extension Pack.)
Nanit is the top competitor in this category, but its system is ultimately pricier. For instance, Nanit requires you to purchase special clothes for your child or fabric for their crib’s mattress. It also charges a subscription fee for its baby sleep training program, Nanit Insights. Although I didn’t test it, Owlet also offers something similar called Dream Lab for a one-time fee of $99.
You control both the Owlet Cam and Smart Sock 3 via the Owlet Care app for Android and iOS. There’s no web-based monitoring option for desktops, which is unfortunately the norm in this category. Another major caveat: As of Nov. 17, 2021, Owlet was forced to pull the Owlet Care app from Apple’s App Store, apparently because the FDA asserts that the Smart Sock is a medical device and has concerns about the app (not the sock), so Owlet needs to build a new one as soon as possible. The existing Owlet Care app, which still works if you’ve already set it up, also won’t get any more updates. Oddly, none of this impacts the Android version, so as of now you may want to purchase Owlet products only if you use an Android device. We tested the iOS version of the app, but will update this review as soon as the new app is available and if there are any changes.
The Owlet Cam isn’t quite as fancy as competitors. That said, the vaguely egg-shaped device offers all the typical features of a Wi-Fi-enabled baby video monitor. It streams 1080p video at a 130-degree angle of view, includes effective night vision via infrared LEDs, has two-way audio in case you want to speak to your child remotely, and supports background audio so you can listen to your kid even if you switch to another app on your phone. The camera lets you digitally zoom in up to 4x.
It also has a temperature sensor, the result of which is prominently displayed in the app. That said, you can’t set up any alerts about temperature thresholds of your choosing—the app will say the room is just right until it goes below 63 degrees Fahrenheit or over 83 degrees Fahrenheit. Owlet also shuns prerecorded sounds or music playback to soothe a child to sleep—a feature I too find superfluous because the speaker on most cameras, including this one, isn’t capable of quality audio.

Pampers is associated with all things infant, so a high-tech baby monitor is a natural extension of the brand. The Lumi by Pampers Smart Baby Monitor and Sleep System ($299) consists of the monitor itself, plus a sensor that attaches to specialized diapers to sense wetness and monitor movement for sleep reports. It delivers on what it sets out to do, and includes sleep coaching that might even help you get your little one to snooze. That said, the competing Nanit Plus costs the same amount and can monitor your child’s breathing, so it remains our Editors’ Choice award winner for baby monitors.
The Smart Baby Monitor is designed to be mounted on a wall, with a pivoting head that can angle any way you want to look. It comes with all the mounting screws and a couple of cable clips to keep the power cord safe from tiny, grabby hands. If you prefer, you can leave it on a shelf.
You’ll need to use the Lumi phone app (for Android and iOS) to set up the camera, as there’s no option for web-based monitoring. The camera first connects to your phone via Bluetooth for setup, then to your home network via Wi-Fi. After getting it connected, just download a firmware update, and you’re ready to go.
The monitor is capable of streaming video at up to 1080p resolution, but can level down to 720p or even 360p for a smoother stream. The field of view can be set to Normal—a nice option for a small nursery or a single crib—all the way to an 180-degree Ultra-Wide view for large rooms. You can see the difference in the images of my son’s room below. No matter the field of view, the picture is crisp, even with night vision via infrared LEDs.
My favorite feature is the noise cancellation, which removes background noise when you monitor the streaming feed. There are five levels of noise cancellation. When turned off, you hear everything. When set to max, you’ll only hear loud noises, like crying.
Setting up the Lumi sleep sensor is even easier than the baby monitor. Again, you use the app, and go to More > Sleep Sensor > Setup, then hold down the heart icon button on the sensor for five seconds until you see a blinking light. You can then attach the sensor to the diaper in the predesignated spot—it has a slightly different surface so the sensor will stay attached.

Covered Face, Rollover Detection and danger sensitive |
Smart baby monitors have evolved over the past few years. Originally they were closed systems, with a camera and a microphone but not a speaker. These often had monitors with displays, allowing someone to hear a baby but not letting someone talk to an infant, or play music or white noise.
Smart baby monitoring devices have now morphed into health and safety monitoring devices, supporting music playback, sleep tracking, motion detection and monitoring of a newborn’s breathing. For the health conscious parents who want to keep an eye on their baby’s breathing 24/7 eyes, Nanit is a good solution. But if you are more interested in knowing if a baby is trying to get out of their crib or if their face is covered by a blanket, the Cubo AI smart baby monitor is a smart choice.
As with the Nanit model, the Cubo AI Plus offers numerous ways to mount the camera for optimal viewing. You can secure it to your baby’s crib, attach it to a weighted floor stand, or use it as a mobile camera that you can place on a shelf or on any flat surface in your home.
The kit comes with various stand elements (support bars), connectors, a crib attachment, a floor base that uses a water bag for weight, a camera holder, a mobile stand, a 6.5-foot USB power cable, a 10-foot USB power cable, two power adapters, and a temperature/humidity sensor dongle that plugs into the power port. It also comes with an illustrated quick start guide that shows you how to install the stands and connect everything, with a complete parts identification list to help make the process as smooth as possible.
The glossy white camera enclosure measures 4.5 by 3.2 by 4.2 inches (HWD) and is shaped like a baby bird. The camera assembly is mounted on a rotating panel with a faux wood finish and can be rotated up and down for an optimal viewing angle. It also allows you to position the lens for privacy mode. There’s a nightlight built into the top of the enclosure and a speaker around the back.
With over 19 various mounting parts, cables, and adapters to contend with, I prepared myself for a lengthy installation process, but it turns out installing the Cubo AI Plus was quick and easy as everything simply snaps into place without the need for tools.
I started by assembling the floor stand, which requires running the 10-foot power cable up through the base and into the first stand element, which snaps into the base. I repeated this with the other two elements, attached them to each other using the snap-in connectors, then ran the cable through the L-shaped element and attached it to the top element. I attached the U-shaped camera holder to the L-shaped element, attached the camera to the holder, plugged in the temperature and humidity dongle, and connected the power cable to the dongle, at which point I heard a chirping sound. I removed the cover to the base, filled the water bag and placed it in the base compartment, and replaced the cover.

Detect your baby when cries |
Baby monitors come in two basic flavors: those that send video to a proprietary handheld monitor, and those that stream the video over the internet to your phone, tablet, or PC. The Ebemate Smart Baby Monitor Camera ($199) is in the latter camp, with smart features that include the ability to detect human faces and notice crying. While the camera delivers good image quality.
The Ebemate started as a UK-based Kickstarter project in 2020, with an expected price of $269; it’s now selling for $199, and even less on Amazon. That price is for the camera plus a plastic mount you can attach to a wall or a crib. A multi-function base with a clamp costs an additional $39.99. The clamp only opens to 1.6 inches, though, so make sure it can fit over your crib rails.
A $79 floor stand, sold separately, looks similar to the one that comes with the Nanit cameras and the Motorola Connnect View 65, hollow “aerospace aluminum” pipes screw together, with an angled piece at the top. Oddly, the base is hollow, you’re supposed to fill it with water or sand for extra weight, though you can probably make do with wedging the stand between the crib and the wall. Together, the camera and floor stand cost just under $240.
Ebemate’s Cloud service is free for one month. After that, it will store video for seven days ($1.99 per month) or 30 days ($5.99 per month). Nanit’s Insights service is free for a year, storing two days of video history, while Insights Premium gives you 30 days of history for $50 per year.
