Best Smart Baby Monitors of 2025

"I had a hard time finding a monitor that offered both a parent unit and mobile access, which drew me to this baby monitor. The camera is effective with clear night vision and even tracks temperature. I appreciate the ability to talk through the camera and play music. There's a plethora of customizable settings on the parent unit. Although the connection can be a bit spotty at times, I'm thrilled we chose this monitor over pricier options."

"Initially hesitant after reading mixed reviews, I decided to give this monitor a shot, knowing I could return it if it didn't meet my expectations. Now, I'm really pleased with my choice! It helps me keep an eye on my baby, both through the display and via my phone when I step outside. The battery life has been good, and after a week of use, I haven't encountered any issues. Everything from motion detection to night mode is working seamlessly."

"After a few months of using this baby monitor, I wanted to share my experience. It's mostly functioning as intended, with some minor frustrations. The large screen and clear picture are definite highlights. However, I did face connectivity issues initially, needing to unplug the camera often. But recently, those problems have faded. The battery life could be better, as it barely lasts two hours off the charger."

"I must say, the Nanit Pro with floor stand has brought us incredible peace of mind. The image quality is crystal clear, even at night, and the bird's-eye view keeps an eye on our baby, no matter how much he moves. The setup was also a breeze; the floor stand was easy to assemble and provides a stable base. Overall, this is an excellent investment compared to cheaper monitors we've tried before!"

"After returning the Owlet, I quickly ordered the Nanit and was immediately impressed. The setup was straightforward, and the breathing pattern monitoring works seamlessly with the band or sleepsack. I love the background listening feature, which lets me monitor my baby even when the app is closed. The sleep analytics are fantastic, giving me insights into my baby's sleep patterns. I find this to be a much better experience than I had with the Owlet. 10 out of 10! I’ll definitely purchase another for my next baby."

"We’ve been very satisfied with our Nanit camera setup, which includes a wall mount, floor stand, and flex stand. The picture quality is outstanding, and it comes with many features controlled easily through the app, such as a noise maker and two-way speaker. We opted for the memories insight plan to share monitoring with family members, and it’s been a joy to compile cute videos of our baby's milestones. However, it is essential to keep in mind the financial commitment involved with the subscription plans."

"As a high-anxiety mom, this sock has provided me with much-needed peace of mind. I still check on my baby frequently, but knowing he's being monitored helps me sleep better. I prefer the Owlet over the Nannit because the sock allows movement around the house. It tracks heart rate, oxygen levels, and sleep quality, making it a valuable tool for us!"

"I absolutely love this product. We got it right after leaving the hospital with our newborn, and it has been a game-changer for my postpartum anxiety. The real-time stats and sleep pattern trends help me feel more secure. The design is simple yet high quality, and it functions exactly as promised."

"I purchased this as a baby shower gift, and I was impressed with the quality and functionality. It helps parents monitor sleep patterns and vital signs effectively. The material is soft and comfortable for the baby, making it a great value for peace of mind!"

"I've never written a review before, but this monitor truly deserves it. After our previous monitor was damaged by our toddler, I tried another highly rated one, but it was fuzzy and inaccurate. After reading about Eufy on Reddit, I decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did! The picture is incredibly clear, the features are user-friendly, and I appreciate that the quiet volume is genuinely quiet. This monitor can run on battery or plugged in, making it easy to transport. If you want a camera with sharp picture quality and essential features, this is the one for you!"

"I finally opted for a baby monitor with Wi-Fi and an app, and I love being able to check in on my baby from work. The parent unit is clear and designed without a kickstand, which is a huge plus since we've broken those before. I can zoom in easily and see everything quite well."

"This baby monitor exceeded my expectations! It's a fantastic product with great quality and is very well made."

"I love this at home! We have one in our 3-year-old's room and one in our newborn's room. It's super easy to connect to my phone and has different sound options, night light, and sleep tracking features. The tracking movement requires payment, but it's still great even without a plan. I especially love that I can communicate through it!"

"I appreciate this bundle so much! The camera quality is excellent, and the case is sturdy. My sound machine has numerous features including setting routines, various sounds, and customizable nightlight colors. I encountered an issue with account linking, but the support team resolved it quickly!"

"I had high hopes for this camera, but it has been frustrating. The temperature sensor works inconsistently, and the flex stand disconnects without warning. After struggling to connect it on vacation and spending a long time on hold for support, I’m now looking for a new monitor. This product has been disappointing."

"I initially bought a different brand and felt it was cheap and unsatisfactory. Switching to this monitor, I love the larger screen, superior picture quality, and great nighttime mode. The camera movement is smooth and switching between cameras is easy. The app is a fantastic bonus too!"

"This monitor is an incredible budget find! Although my main monitor is a pricier model, this one has some features that I prefer. I can keep the sound on while the screen is off, and the unit is durable and easy to use. However, I wish the lowest sound setting was quieter."

"I've been quite pleased with this camera set. The setup was straightforward, and the image quality is commendable. However, I did notice that the battery life shortens with continuous use, so I wouldn't recommend it for 24/7 monitoring."

"Using the Owlet Dream Duo has been a game-changer for monitoring our baby's health and safety. The Dream Sock tracks our baby's pulse rate and oxygen levels, providing real-time notifications that give us peace of mind at night."

"The Owlet Cam offers crystal-clear HD video, making it easy to keep an eye on our little one. The night vision feature is fantastic, allowing us to see him even in low light."

"I find the app easy to set up and navigate, making it simple to check on our baby from anywhere, whether I'm in another room or out of the house. Overall, I trust this high-quality product and recommend it to other parents."

"I've had this unit for a little over a week, and I've recently encountered issues with the night vision not working consistently and requiring constant resets. It makes me feel this product might not be reliable for nighttime use. However, I purchased it on Black Friday for $50, and the quality exceeded my expectations. I love that it comes with a mount for wall attachment and that it magnetically attaches to my playpen. The temperature notifications are a great feature, too!"

"This camera is fantastic! It's very sensitive to sound and provides a crystal-clear picture. I appreciate the background noise option, which lets me hear what's happening in the nursery even when my phone is locked or running another app. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this monitor for my baby's room!"

"I really like this Owlet camera; it works seamlessly with the sock. The cord is long, and I use a flexible tripod holder to move it around as needed. However, I did give it 4 stars because after losing power one night, it now randomly goes offline about once a week. It takes a long time to reconnect, which is inconvenient when I have a sleeping baby. There's also a slight 3-4 second delay in the video."

"As an uneasy mom, I found this monitor exactly what I needed to feel better about letting my baby sleep in the crib. The setup was easy, and I appreciated being able to see my baby at night. The app allows me to check in any time, take pictures, and even talk to my baby. Plus, no subscription required for basic features!"

"I've been using the InstaBaby Smart Baby Monitor with the floor stand, and I'm really impressed! The setup took just a few minutes, and the picture quality is crystal clear. I mainly rely on the live feed, which is free and works flawlessly. The floor stand is a great perk, allowing me to easily position it anywhere. This monitor is a fantastic choice for anyone who needs a reliable live feed!"

"I got this baby monitor to keep an eye on my little one. The camera quality is great, but I found the app to be the worst part. It doesn’t track movement accurately and frequently freezes. I receive notifications at random times, even when my baby isn’t in the crib. Overall, I feel the app really detracts from the experience."

"I am absolutely obsessed with the Lollipop Baby Monitor! Setting it up was incredibly easy, and the features are just amazing. The audio and video quality are top-notch, especially with the Infrared Night Vision. I can see everything so clearly! Plus, it records video clips when it detects crying or loud noises. The notifications sent to my phone give me peace of mind. And the silicone design is both durable and flexible, making it perfect for any setup!"

"I've been using the Lollipop camera for a couple of weeks now after switching from another brand, and I’m really impressed. The video quality is a huge step up, and the wide-angle view is fantastic. The setup was incredibly simple and the noise alert feature is a lifesaver. I don't even need to have the app open to hear my baby. The only minor issue is that when I use the built-in sound generator, it can sometimes overpower the audio from the app, but it's not a deal-breaker for me."

"We’ve used Lollipop Baby Monitors for our daughters for the past 5 years, and they have been great. They are easy to use and the flexible tail allows for great mounting options. The app is user-friendly and the crying/noise monitor works well. The only downside is that we often can't connect to Wi-Fi networks that require a webpage login, like in hotels. But we've figured out a workaround using our phone's hotspot."
