You can view the video feed on a phone or tablet and receive alerts from the sock, but that’s about it. What is more problematic, however, is the limited usefulness of the Owlet app. But that’s not a deal-breaker in our opinion. The Owlet camera also lacks a few extra features that other WiFi monitors offer, such as the option to play lullabies or white noise. This is especially useful for newborns and preemies. We love the assurance that the Owlet Sock gives us. Read our guide on baby monitor installation if you want more tips on that. But it’s unique magnet attach makes that relatively easy. It doesn’t have the option to remotely tilt or pan, however, so you’ll have to make sure that it’s correctly set up when you first install it. Picture and sound quality are on par with other WiFi models available today. Both the video feed and the notifications from the sock are accessible through the mobile app. It combines the Owlet sock that we tested before with a camera. That’s why Owlet now offers the Owlet Smart Sock + Cam package. Especially once your baby is over 12 months old and the risks of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) are significantly reduced. This typically happens in the middle of the night and unfortunately wakes my husband.īut from our experience, having an audio and video feed of what’s going on in your child’s bedroom is more useful on a day to day basis. The sensor sock is cute and fits easily into pajama footies, although it can shift during feedings and changes, which results in a ‘blue’ notification alert. We can make sure he’s doing well with a quick glance at the monitor.
I appreciate the heart rate and oxygen saturation level icons. The Owlet gives us peace of mind that he is sleeping happy and healthy through the night. Our baby was born via c-section and had some fluid in his lungs after birth.
If you have reasons to be concerned about your baby’s heartbeat and oxygen level, you should seriously consider the Owlet Smart Sock. And we want to see more of these in the future. Overall, we really like the capabilities of the Owlet sock. The Owlet camera attaches to its base with a magnet, that’s great to adjust the angle just right. You don’t need to connect the Owlet sock to your Wifi, but it does provide a lot more information than the base alone. You can connect the base station to your Wifi network if you want to also receive the alert on your mobile phone via the Owlet app (more on that below). The information is then sent from the Owlet Smart Sock on your baby’s feet to a base station via Bluetooth to alert you immediately if something appears wrong. It uses pulse oximetry, a clinically-proven technology that is noninvasive, to measure your baby’s oxygen saturation (SO2) and heartbeat. Owlet uses a technology that is very similar to what you’ll find in the Apple watch to constantly monitor both the heartbeat and the oxygen of your baby. Using a light and comfortable sock that you attach to your baby’s foot, you will be instantly alerted if your child’s heartbeat or blood oxygen level is outside of the safe and normal range. Its key feature is the Owlet sock that constantly monitors your baby’s heartbeat and blood oxygen level. The Owlet Smart Sock + Cam is not your typical baby monitor. Our Hands-on Review of the Owlet Smart Sock + Cam Baby Monitor You should wall-mount the camera for the best result. It’s great, even probably essential in some cases, but it won’t be the best baby monitor for everyone.Ĭurious to know if this is the right package for you? Continue reading our review of the Owlet Smart Sock + Cam for the in-depth results. That said, the Owlet Smart Sock + Cam is very helpful if you have reasons to be worried about your baby’s heartbeat or oxygen level. We find the app user experience to be also lacking compared to other baby monitor brands such as our favorite one, the Nanit Plus. While we still really like the Owlet sock and find the WiFi camera to be perfectly fine, the Owlet app to view the camera feed is only available on mobile phones, not tablets. This is the perfect combo to make sure that your baby is safe and sound through the night. Owlet has now released an updated version of their monitor to bundle the original sock with a WiFi camera. But we also found it incomplete as a baby monitor.
We reviewed the original Owlet Smart Sock 2 when it came out and really liked it as a baby health monitor. The Owlet Smart Sock + Cam is another example of a manufacturer listening to its users’ feedback to improve their product.
