We rely a lot on the Owlet Cam and Smart Sock 2 to ensure he’s safe without having to check on him every time.
LOGITEC BABY MONITY UPDATE
UPDATE 20 July 2020: Our newborn has now been sleeping on his own in the Nursery for the past week. After all, I don’t want to be those paranoid parents who always want to be notified when the baby is twitching, or making funny noises every now and then while they sleep. Sure, it’s missing motion and audio notifications, but after checking the background audio feature out, I come to the conclusion that no, you don’t need these. They don’t have overwhelming settings and what they offer, they do them best. The camera doesn’t have many advanced features and settings to tweak, but I come to realisation how easy to use Owlet products are. Thanks to its magnetic design, you can tilt the camera to your liking to get the best angle possible. You can mount it on the wall, or even place it on the desk with the included stand.

LOGITEC BABY MONITY 1080P
Thanks to its 1080p HD quality stream with Night Vision & 130-degree viewing angle, you’ll get the best coverage possible of the crib or cot. Owlet Cam is a great baby monitor that doesn’t just allow you to see what’s going on with your phone, but also hear even while you are not looking at your phone and know if the room temperature is right. You don’t need to check at your phone every few seconds to see if there is a notification, because you can simply listen in while doing other things like cooking. While Owlet is very quick to say that these two features (motion and sound notifications) are in the works and will be available soon, I don’t think it’s necessary now because the background audio is actually better and more superior. This is because they would lead to many, false alarms and I really don’t want to be super paranoid each time my newborn wiggles or makes a funny sound while he sleeps (which he does often). However, after finding out how well executed the background audio feature works, I’m not sure I actually want that motion and sound notifications anymore. The things that I (and other people) complain about are the lack of motion and sound detection – which exist normally on almost all baby monitors (you can even set the noise intensity and set motion zoning in this D-Link’s camera). Now, the audio is lagged behind for about 1-2 seconds, but that’s more than enough. Every little sound the little one makes, we’ll hear it.
LOGITEC BABY MONITY TV
Sure, one way is to turn the TV volume off (which is a “boohoo”) but another smarter way is to turn the Owlet Cam’s background audio feature on. I really love this feature because if we want to watch TV while our newborn is asleep, we want to make sure we can hear him crying. When this is enabled in the app, you can constantly hear through your phone, even when the app is closed (i.e sent to the background) and your phone goes to sleep (i.e pressing the power button quickly to turn your phone off). The one most interesting feature is the background audio. Two way audio means you can hear what’s happening in the nursery and also talk through your phone. This is quite a useful feature to check whether you should turn that heater on, or make sure your baby gets all that thick and warm clothes. You can click on the “?” tooltip to see what is considered as the right room temperature – which sadly still displays in Fahrenheit and not Celsius (easily update-able through an app update in the future). With the room temperature sensor, you can quickly see the room temperature from the Owlet Care app. Even with a small and challenging nursery, there is always a way to place the Owlet Cam somewhere (on a wall, or on a crib – make sure it’s safe) and you’ll still be able to get a good angle and coverage. Its design is quite compact with magnetic mounting base that gives you the flexibility to tilt the camera quite generously. Owlet Cam streams in 1080p quality with 130-degree wide angle lens, making sure that even a tricky camera placement can still give you that great coverage you need. The cable is pretty long too but a handy cable management accessory is included, keeping things tidy and safe.

Packaging includes many wall mounting kits with cable guards, ensuring safety as you can set the cable to be out of reach.
