"Dedicated parent unit means you're not constantly checking your phone, draining its battery. Clear, quick live feed. Helpful temperature/humidity monitoring. "Last attended to" feature saves mental math. Split screen for multiple cameras great for multi-kid households. Occasionally sluggish and unresponsive touchscreen. Battery doesn't last a full day. Speaker placement on back muffles sound when laid flat. Many basic features require paid subscription. Phone battery drains quickly when using the app as a monitor."
"Now, brands are reverting back. Nanit's newest product, the Nanit Home, is a tablet-like screen that pairs with Nanit's Smart Baby Monitor ($289) and does (almost) everything the app does, freeing brand-loyal parents from their phones. After testing it with my daughter through late-night wakeups, the stomach flu, and overall toddlerisms, I found a monitor that's undeniably helpful, only slightly held back by some quirks that, for many parents, might be worth overlooking."
The Nanit Home is a tablet-like parent unit that pairs with the Nanit Smart Baby Monitor. The unit provides a clear, quick live video feed, temperature and humidity monitoring, a 'last attended to' timestamp, and split-screen support for multiple cameras. A dedicated parent tablet reduces reliance on phones and limits phone battery drain during monitoring. The touchscreen can be sluggish and unresponsive, the tablet battery does not last a full day, and the rear speaker placement muffles audio when the unit lies flat. Many core features sit behind a paid subscription. The monitor remains highly useful despite these quirks.
