The Sense-U Smart Baby Monitor is splash-resistant, NOT waterproof. Do not immerse in water. If it gets wet, dry it off immediately. Keep the baby icon in the same direction as your child's body direction to avoid unexpected readings and notifications.

When your child’s breathing patterns change, Nanit links them to particular sleep stages so that you know your child is getting enough sleep. First, if you lose your internet connection but the router stays up, then you can still use the Nanit to monitor your child.

Babysense Monitor Review Summary

The camera can be easily tilted within its housing to get a clear picture of your baby and can optionally run off battery power rather than AC so the monitor can be used while your baby naps in a pram, for instance. The difference between digital and Wi-Fi-based baby monitors is that digital monitors send signals over what’s known as the frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS). These send a signal directly and securely from a transmitter in the camera to the receiver on the parent unit.

The notifications come to your smart device almost immediately, with only a very slight delay. The two-way talk is great and my voice didn’t boom into the room as it has done with other, cheaper monitors. There was also no substantial time delay when talking – it reminded me of talking to the postman through our video doorbell – even when I was not at home. And I could hear my child clearly, albeit a little quieter than I would have liked even at full volume.

The blog post is a conversation regarding baby monitors among a group of mothers. As a first-time mother with no prior experience with either Owlet or Sense-U, the original poster, masirk, requests advise on these products. Their combined sleep systems (offering both video and breathing monitors) all scored 4.2 stars or higher across hundreds of buyers. The baby icon should be orientated in the same direction as child’s body direction, to avoid incorrect position readings and false notifications. The monitored child must sleep in their own separate bed as the monitor may detect the movement of any other person sharing the bed with the child and will not send any notification as long as it detects movement.
