Owlet Cam - Smart Portable Video Baby Monitor - HD Video Camera, Encrypted WiFi, Humidity, Room Temp, Night Vision & 2-Way Talk

The only reason I am giving this rating a 2 instead of a 1 is because of the sock! The camera is a complete waste of money. We originally bought the sock/cam bundle because it seemed so useful for everything to be in the same app. Upon bringing my son home, he slept in a bassinet in our room so there was no need for the camera. The sock is AMAZING! There was one night where his oxygen dropped and I immediately woke up to the alarm and checked on him. I was also able to pull up the history of his levels throughout the night to show our pediatrician the next morning. Once he moved into his crib, we started having issues immediately. The camera would show no connection and then I wouldn't even be alerted that there was noise or motion. Luckily at the time we were still using the sock regularly and I would get a notification from the sock to check on baby. Now that our son is one, we just rely on the camera and I can't depend on it to stay connected. Once it randomly disconnects it no longer sends notifications so I get woken by his screams with no idea how long he's been awake. I do not recommend getting the bundle. Save that money and buy a different camera monitor that you can actually depend on.

Initially, when we got the camera as a gift, we were excited and had it set up so when the baby came, we knew everything would be up and running. Fast-forward to now, and we are unable to connect our camera again to our Wi-Fi. We have followed the step-by-step guide that is provided by Owlet and have followed all of the recommendations and we are still unable to get it out of pairing mode. Overall, just trying to connect to your network and having to disable your Wi-Fi radios and change your passwords for a simple set up process has been extremely infuriating. Combine that with the lack of support and time availability from them and just having no resolution to our issues is why we have decided to go with a competitor called Nanit. Their cameras work with both Wi-Fi radio frequencies with no issues and set up with seamless. Please steer clear of this cheap product.

does not connect to wifi

I leave it on as background so I can hear for my baby at night. I always have the volume up and it constantly turns the volume off or disconnects from the camera altogether. I have to keep the app open and not use anything else - really drains phone battery. I do not recommend this product at all. It's constantly having issues connecting to WiFi. Please, do yourself a favor and buy a camera that's 1/3 of the price. Terrible quality. Ever since its updated, it's drained my phone battery, constantly disconnects even though I have it set up in the background, has issues connecting to WiFi, not to mention setting it up to WiFi already is a B - takes forever! Do. Not. Buy.

Bought this for our son and daughter in law's baby due in February! It was on their baby list!
