OwletMonitor Duo 2 - Cam 2 and Smart Sock 3 - Baby Monitor with HD Video Camera - Night Vision and Audio - Track Heart Rate, Oxygen and Sleep Trends (0-18 months) - Mint Green

We got this monitor for our newborn. She is currently 13 days old and we have been using it since she came home at less than 24 hours old. I love it as the sock has definitely given me some reassurance when she is sleeping, even though she is right next to me I find it great to be able to look at her breathing and oxygen levels.The sock is easy to fit and has a good battery life. She has kicked it off once or twice but that was the first couple of times we were using it so I think we just didn’t have it on right. It fits well under a sleep suit.The camera has a really clear picture and I like that it gives you room temperature also the only downfall I find is that occasionally it loses the connection when we try opening it on our phone, generally it comes back quickly enough. For now it hasn’t bothered me as I’m usually only nipping to the bathroom etc as otherwise in the same room as our daughter but maybe it will when she is sleeping all night in her own room. On w positive though even when the camera loses connection the sock doesn’t so I still know she is ok.Overall I love it and while expensive it eases some of my anxiety at bedtime and allows me to get more sleep too

Our little boy is nearly 9 months old now and we’ve been managing with a security camera as a baby monitor. We’d been meaning to get something “proper” for a while and we finally made the jump to Owlet. Whilst certainly on the dear side it appeared to tick all the boxes. Live video monitoring (not the 10 second delay I have on my security camera!), in built room temperature and audio monitoring. Your mobile phone acts as the receiver and you can have the audio running in the background with the app closed. Perfect. My monitor, GroEgg thermometer and security can be tidied away and I’ve just got one product. This particular version also includes the smart sock which monitors babies heart rate, oxygen level and sleep pattern.Unfortunately the reality for us didn’t quite work out. The smart sock is well designed but maybe we were trying something too late down the line as our boy was not happy with it on. He tugged and tugged at it so we ended up leaving it off. The camera was initially great. Really clear with different image quality options. Room temperature showed on the app screen too so it was doing everything we needed it to. But then it kept cutting out down to poor WiFi signal. This was odd given the makeshift camera we’d been using had been fine not to mention the other WiFi connected products we use in the Nursery from time to time.WiFi issues aside I feel like if we’d bought this product sooner when baby was younger it’d have worked out better. I’d still recommend this product but I’d definitely check your WiFi signal is strong.

After being given lots of recommendations from friends and family about the best baby monitor we decided to go with Owlet smart sock 3. The reassurance the smart sock gives in monitoring heart rate and oxygen were key stand out features for us and the two way audio and video is also great. The smart sock 3 is a no brainier upgrade from v2 with the wireless drop and go charging, fitting baby from 5lbs to 30lbs giving us longevity of use and the increased distance the sock can be from the base station is very practical. Set up of the full system was simple (once we figured out some of our own internet problems - we changed our internet from 5 ghz to 2.4 ghz and it worked instantly) and the app is great and really easy to use. The camera and sock are also a great design / look good which always helps! Very happy with our choice, giving us extra peace of mind with all the monitoring when baby is asleep if we are in the house or out (with babysitters of course!).

I bought this product as I am a first time mum and wanted the reassurance that my little one was sleeping safe on a night with the risk of sids. The setup of the product wasn't too difficult to do, it doesn't come with a manual to follow you have to follow it through the app that you download to use the item. I ended up sending the product back as the app constantly kept crashing and saying it wasn't connected to the Internet even though my Internet was working fine on other devices. I was worried as it wasn't working as it should. The app needs updating and bugs sorting as it is not reliable. The sock also kept coming off and an alarm going off which is worrying. The wall mounting kit was great but meant if you wanted to take the camera out with you, you would have to dismantle it to get the charger wire out as the camera doesn't work without being plugged in. Can't be charged up and use without a power source and no option to buy a spare plug. It also needs a WiFi signal to work so becomes useless if you go away somewhere that doesn't have WiFi or a great signal to do a hot spot. Would be great to have the ability to work if needed via digital signal like most monitors. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend this product due to safety and reliability.

The video quality is good and clear, there is a short delay between the live movement or sound and it happening in the video. The camera will sometimes need a reconnect or reset especially if unplugged for a long period of time (few hours). I cannot find any way to change the temperature reading from Fahrenheit to Celsius only a how too for IOS users which tells you to change your phone setting to Celsius. The sock is a very good peace of kit for peace of mind for your new born but as your child get older past about 6 7 months I think you would only really use it if your child was under the weather and you wanted to monitor there stats. Over all a very savy piece of kit but fairly expensive. Great for first time parents.
