At Nanit, we are focused on designing baby monitors that work over Wi-Fi, and this includes the entire range of our Pro Smart baby monitors. Our monitors connect to a well-designed app that allows you to check in on your baby from home or away, and it’s the most reliable of the Wi-Fi monitors on the market.

While many traditional baby monitors often utilise a closed radio frequency system (wherein the baby unit and parent unit connect directly to one another), they also tend to have reduced range and very few smart features.

Wi-Fi-enabled monitors, like Nanit, use a secure internet connection (256-bit encryption) to stream live video and audio to your phone or smart tablet. This means you’re not limited to a handheld parent unit, and you can also check in on your baby from virtually anywhere. For parents who travel, work late, or want other family members or friends to be able to check in on their baby, Nanit’s WiFi connectivity adds a level of flexibility that simply isn’t possible with traditional baby monitors.

We understand that Wi-Fi isn’t always perfect. That’s why, if your connection drops, Nanit has you covered. Our cameras keep tracking your baby’s sleep data locally and seamlessly updates the app as soon as you’re back online.

For the best baby monitoring experience, most families choose Wi-Fi monitors for their superior video quality, app integrations, and ability to grow with your child and evolve and improve with new features.

Not every baby monitor is built the same. The best choice is the one that makes your days a little easier and your baby’s nights a little calmer. Here are a few features we think are worth keeping in mind:

• Video quality –Clear 1080p HD video with night vision technology allows you to see everything in real-time and in crystal-clear detail , whether your bub is enjoying a daytime nap or is resting for the night. You’ll easily be able to see if they’re sound asleep or just stirring.



• Reliable audio –Clear, two-way audio means you’ll always hear every little sound. Your baby can hear your voice, too, offering comfort and reassurance even when you’re not in the room.



• Safety and security –Your baby’s safety is our top priority. That’s why every Nanit monitor is protected with advanced encryption, so only you (and the people you choose) can see your little one’s moments. Our safety-certified mounts are designed to stay securely in place - giving you peace of mind that your monitor is as safe as it is smart.



• Sleep tracking –Sleep is at the heart of what we do. Nanit goes beyond video and audio - our smart monitors and companion app give you clear insights into your baby’s sleep patterns, efficiency scores, and personalised tips to help the whole family get more restful nights.



• Breathing motion monitoring –All Nanit Pro Camera monitors come with a breathing band (also sold separately). The breathing band is a sensor-free, no wire Breathing Wear, a sensor-free technology your baby wears that will monitor their breathing patterns and alert you of any abnormalities. It’s completely safe.



• Environment monitoring –Built-in temperature and humidity sensors keep you informed about your baby’s overall comfort levels. This vital information helps you stay aware of changes in the environment and make any adjustments needed to ensure your baby has the soundest sleep possible.



• Portability –Options like the Nanit Flex stand and travel case accessories allow the monitor to move with you. So, no matter where you go, Nanit baby monitors will easily follow.

Naturally, the main difference here is the level of visibility and the insights you gain. If your monitor is AI driven and app based, the benefits also extend to such things like cry detection, and predicting/notifying you when your baby’s next nap is going to be.

Audio-only monitors will enable you to hear when your baby wakes, cries, or stirs. However, given they lack video, you’ll often find yourself physically checking in to know whether your baby is settling themselves, or if they truly need your attention.

Audio-only monitors could potentially be better suited to older babies or toddlers who can directly vocalise or ask you to come in and see them if they’re having issues falling asleep. The Nanit Sound + Light Machine is a combination of sound machine, audio monitor, and night light.

A quality baby monitor provides more than just sight and sound - it gives parents peace of mind. With Nanit, you can watch your baby in crystal-clear 1080p HD and hear every little sound through a secure, easy-to-use app. Smart insights help you understand your baby’s sleep patterns, so you can avoid unnecessary disruptions. For example, noticing that your little one is simply resettling rather than needing attention.

More advanced app based monitors also include a suite of helpful features like sleep tracking, breathing motion monitoring, cry detection, developmental milestone captures, and care log to track nappy changes and feeds. These are all things audio-only monitors can’t provide. For many modern families, this level of visibility and data adds an extra layer of reassurance and convenience, especially during the newborn stage and those long nights.

You certainly can, and many families who use Nanit baby monitors do. They can make a huge difference when travelling, offering familiarity for your baby and peace of mind for you. The key is choosing one that’s designed with that flexibility in mind.

With Nanit’s Flex Stand, you can bring your monitor anywhere life takes you. Set it up on any flat surface - in a hotel room, at a grandparent’s house, or during daytime naps while you’re away. Because Nanit streams directly to your phone, there’s no need for a separate parent unit. You just plug in, connect, and keep an eye on your little one from anywhere.

Wi-Fi connectivity means you’ll need access to a stable internet connection, but once connected, you’ll enjoy all the same features you have at home - HD video, sleep insights, cry detection, and breathing monitoring with Breathing Wear.

When you’re on the go, Nanit offers a sleek, compact Travel Case designed to protect the Pro Camera and Flex Stand. Its streamlined design fits easily into most nappy bags, so you can take Nanit wherever life takes you - playdates, travel, or visits to other caregivers’ homes. The right baby monitor makes all the difference in keeping your routine consistent, no matter where your family adventures lead.

Choosing the right monitor starts with thinking about two key things - your home environment and your parenting style. So, while considering the range of Nanit baby monitors, ask yourself the following questions:

Where Will the Monitor Be Used?

If you are looking for a nursery setup, a floor or wall mount may be the best choice. For travel or playroom setups, a portable stand offers the versatility you need.

What Level of Detail Do You Need?

If peace of mind means seeing your baby’s every movement, then we highly suggest opting for HD video and night vision. If you want deeper insights that go beyond just clear video or audio, choose a monitor with built-in sleep tracking, personalised insights that is going to help improve your baby’s sleep routine (and yours) and breathing motion monitoring.

How Important is Connectivity?

If you want to take full advantage of all the features Nanit baby monitors have to offer, then you’ll ideally want a strong wi-fi connection to support these. This includes features like remote viewing, milestone moments, and helpful real-time alerts.

Do You Want a Product That Grows with Your Child?

The right monitor can do so much more than watch your baby - it can also capture milestones and provide sleep insights well into toddlerhood. If you want to track how your little one is growing and how their sleep evolves over time, choose a monitor that grows with your family.

For many Australian families, a smart monitor like Nanit fits the bill. In fact, 70% of Nanit parents use their Nanit tools for four years or more! It offers crystal-clear video, real-time sleep insights, sensor-free breathing monitoring, and secure app access - all while adapting as your baby grows.

Thanks to its comprehensive suite of features, it also means parents can rest easier more often. In fact, Nanit parents get 36 more nights of sleep every single year.
