1. Nanit Plus Smart Baby Monitor
This is the ultimate monitor system for your baby. Although it is indeed quite pricey, when you hear in detail of what it can do, you will definitely start to consider making the investment.
There are three parts to the Nanit Plus: The camera unit which can record HD video at 960p and has integrated microphones to give you two-way communication between you and the child. There’s also a smart night light that can be switched on and off from your phone as well as sound and motion sensors packed into the thin frame of the camera unit.
The second part is the Breathing Wear, which is a smart swaddle and a sensor-packed patterned band for temperature monitoring of the child’s body heat and respiration.
The third and final part of the Nanit Plus is the smartphone app that can control every single part of the system. It allows you to be in touch with the kid even when you’re thousands of miles away on a business trip. For busy parents, this is going to be the perfect baby monitoring system.
2. Motorola Halo Baby Monitor
Usually, baby monitors with video capabilities demand that you have a high wall mount to give the widest field of view possible for the camera. The Motorola Halo more or less solves this problem by being attached directly to the crib.
Just like the Nanit Plus, there are three pieces to the Motorola Halo. The first is the camera unit that can record live footage with video quality clocked at high definition. The camera unit is also fitted with infrared lights for night vision, a sound and motion-activated two-way communication system, as well as a lullaby player to soothe your child even when you’re not there next to them.
The overhead mount that you can build into the crib itself has a night light and a light show projector to amuse your little ones in the best way possible. As for the remote parent unit, it’s technically a video monitor with a 4.3-inch full-color screen.
There’s the Hubble smartphone app that’s linked directly to the Halo baby monitor to notify you when you’re away from the location of your child’s activity. It can even track your child’s sleeping patterns, which is hugely useful.

3. Infant Optics Baby Monitor
While both of the previously introduced baby monitors send all of the data through the internet, if you’re privacy-minded then the Infant Optics is perfect since data is not streamed through the internet at all. All of the video and audio recordings are stored locally on a hard drive. The system can handle about 12-hours of audio-only recordings and 8-hours of real-time HD video streaming.
The camera unit has night vision built into it with a standby battery of about ten hours so even in the case of power loss or that you don’t have a convenient outlet to always plug in the camera, don’t worry. You just need to recharge it once in a while. The camera has a low battery indicator so you’ll always be kept up-to-date with battery status.
One cool thing about the Infant Optics’ baby monitoring system is that the lens is completely interchangeable. The system is shipped with three types of lenses: A normal lens, a zoom lens, and a wide angle lens to capture the entirety of the room in the field of view.
Four other cameras can be daisy-chained together into a complete network of wide-area baby monitoring system if you want to keep track of the child’s every single movement in the house. Though it’s relatively expensive, no investment is too big for the safety of your children.
