Pros and cons

Cons
- Best insights need a paid Nanit Insights plan

What it is
The Nanit Pro is a Wi-Fi baby monitor that looks down on the crib from above. This bundle includes a floor stand, so you skip drilling into walls. Video streams in 1080p to the Nanit app on iPhone and Android, and the camera pairs with Nanit wearables for breathing-motion features. Nanit makes no claim that it prevents SIDS, and neither do we.
What we like
- A clean overhead view that shows the whole crib
– Sleep tracking that turns nights into simple charts
– Easy sharing with family members
– Floor stand keeps cords well away from the crib when set up as directed
What to know
- The richest sleep insights sit behind a paid Nanit Insights plan
– It depends on home Wi-Fi; an outage means no picture
– Your phone becomes the monitor, so battery drain is real overnight
– Keep the camera and cords at least 3 feet from the crib
Is it worth it?
Based on specs and owner reports, the Nanit Pro is the most polished Wi-Fi baby monitor you can buy. It is worth it if you will actually use remote viewing and sleep data. If you only need a screen on the nightstand, the Infant Optics DXR-8 PRO does that for less and with no fees.
