Owlet Cam 2 (Gen 2) Smart Baby Monitor – HD Video Camera with Night Vision, 4X Zoom & Wide-Angle View, Two-Way Talk, Sound & Motion Alerts, Temp & Humidity Sensor, Encrypted WiFi | White

I gifted this to my daughter for her baby shower and then helped her set it up in the nursery. We had no problem setting it up and using the cord covers. They stuck to the wall with a little pressure and have had no problems with them falling off. It was very easy to install and gives the new parents peace of mind while baby sleeps. Compared to the price of other items similar to this device, I feel like it is a great value for the money! The video is clear and the app works well. I would recommend this to new parents and would gift again.

Upgraded our old monitor to this and I'm so glad we did. I only wish we did it sooner! Very happy with the quality of picture and the phone connectivity via the app. The app includes sleep tracking and predictive wake windows which has been super helpful to keep my husband and I on the same page as we sleep train our 6 month old. Very very happy with the camera. The cry detection/movements/room temperature etc everything is fantastic. Setup was a breeze!

There is a special place in tech hell for devices like the Owlet Cam — products so needlessly complicated, that they transform a simple task into a full-blown existential crisis. All I wanted was to see my baby sleep. Instead, I spent 45 minutes crouched on the floor, cycling between the app, my router, and my increasingly fragile will to live. The camera refused to connect to 5GHz Wi-Fi — apparently, the standard frequency of modern civilization was a bridge too far. I even had to pull out my laptop, log into my Wi-Fi provider’s account, and manually split the network to 2.4GHz like I was performing open-heart surgery on my own internet. ?! What does 2.4GHz even mean?! And after all that? Nothing. Not a single frame. Just a blinking light and the faint sound of my own sanity evaporating. No new mom should have to moonlight as a network engineer while a “smart” baby monitor refuses to acknowledge her existence. The Owlet Cam is the dumbest baby monitor on the market. It doesn’t deliver peace of mind — it demands it as a sacrifice. Final verdict: It never connected. Not once. Save your money, your time, your sanity - buy the Nanit.

• High-quality video: Streams HD (1080p) video over WiFi, with many users noting clear daytime and night-vision images. • Extra useful features: 4× zoom, room temperature & humidity sensors, and notifications for sound or movement. • App-based monitoring: Easy to set up for most users—view your baby’s room remotely from your smartphone. • Remote access: Great for parents who want to check in on their baby while at work or away from home.

This is a great tool for parents to keep an eye (and ear) on their precious ones. I highly recommend it. The way it calculates room temperature and humidity has come in VERY handy. There are notifications for cry detection that can be overwhelming because it picks up on EVERY sound, but those can be turned off.

I cant stress how disappointing this camera is. We originally got it as part of the camera/sock package, and the sock did work just fine, but the camera had constant internet connection issues from the moment we set it up. After only a few hours, it would lose connection again, requiring us to disconnect it from power and reboot it. This went on repeatedly for several weeks before the camera ultimately stopped working completely. Customer service was also an unpleasant experience, as we had to repeatedly call/email them in an attempt to get a replacement camera. It took about a month of back and forth before a replacement finally came. Unfortunately, the 2nd camera worked no better, and could not stay connected to wifi. We were told our router was too far away (it is in the adjacent room), but just to cover all of our bases we went and got a range extender and set up a 2Gh network in our nursery that only this camera would be connected to. Despite the "excellent" connection status, this camera still would regularly lose connection as well. We decided to give it one more go, and rather than have to deal with customer service again we just went ahead and bought a replacement. And guess what? Exact same issues. There is clearly a defect in this product, as others have reported a similar issue. Would not recommend this to anyone.

The Nanit gave me piece of mind as a new mom with postpartum anxiety, I was able to sleep a little better knowing that I would be alerted if there was a problem! We still use it to this day and our baby is almost 2 years old! I love you can see the sleep patterns. I can usually tell if my kid is sick before she starts to really show signs because Nanit shows their breaths per minute and if it’s high she usually has a fever! It’s been soooo amazing!

If I could give this camera zero stars I would. This camera worked great for the first view months. Although there was always a few things that didn’t work like being able to connect it to multiple networks and the camera was never able to scan the QR code easily at set up. However we were able to figure out things to make it work and we were able to use it. However after a few months it just stopped working. Despite trying everything that support has suggested I cannot get the Owlet to connect to the internet and work properly. The last thing that support suggested was whitelisting certain network ports on my router so that the camera can work but that is not something I can do and is far too complicated to figure out. It is not user friendly and the connection is so temperamental that is I was scared to touch it even when it did work. DO NOT BUY

Power plug not compatible with Saudi standards. Requested a return 2 months ago and refund still pending.

Works well most of the time but does disconnect from wifi occasionally which is very frustrating as it doesn't always reconnect easily. Video and sound quality is very good though.

Really poor connection. Not usable. Don't waste your money.

Most disappointing buy for my baby! 3-5 second lag in the video output and the features being offered are quite basic for the fact the video goes back to server for processing.

This camera has 2 jobs: 1. Connect to Wifi 2. Be a camera It doesn't do either one well, it doesn't do either one all the time, and it won't take long for it to stop doing both forever. Also it will blame your wifi network, even though it almost certainly isn't the problem. And no, my experience is not a fluke. Everyone on the internet hates this camera! I've personally owned 3 (first and second Gen), all purchased at different times. I've tested them with different ISPs and routers. And I'm very experienced in network setup. So if you want a pill shaped object that quickly develops loose connections with the Micro-USB (yeah!) cable you just glued to the wall and says it only officially supports 2.4GHz Wifi (but doesnt actually connect reliably to it) then this is the rock for you! However, if you're concerned about things like the ability to make sure your baby is safe, look elsewhere.
