Baby Monitor Safety - How Nanit Solves Common Safety Issues

Having a new baby comes with a whole lot of worries, from the big stuff (what’s the best way to deal with teething?) to the small stuff (how many selfies with baby are just too much?).

One thing you should never have to worry about, though? Whether or not you have a safe baby monitor. After all, your monitor should give you peace of mind, not keep you up at night worrying. And yet many baby monitors on the market simply come up short when it comes to safety and security.

Not Nanit. Nothing is more important to us than your little one’s health and wellbeing, which is why we designed Nanit to be the safest baby monitor on the block.

Just take a look at a few of the ways Nanit is light years ahead when it comes to baby monitor safety and security…

Baby Monitor Safety – Smart cord management

When we set out to create Nanit, we sat down with parents and analyzed their current baby monitor situations. Time and again, we discovered that many digital baby monitors and IOT cameras had cords, cables and plugs that posed potential safety hazards in the nursery. That’s why we specifically designed Nanit with an innovative ASTM-certified cord management system that keeps wires under control and stored away from baby. Brilliantly simple and completely safe.

Baby Monitor Safety – A tip-proof stand like no other

Nanit's unique Floor Stand and Wall Mount give you an unobstructed, top-down, bird’s eye view of baby in the crib. In our research, we noticed that a lot of parents were jury rigging stands in order to get a similar view, leading to unstable setups that could easily tip over. Nanit’s stands is different. The Floor Stand has a weighted base for maximum stability with an optional U-Clip to connect the stand to the wall, while the Wall Mount is firmly adhered to the wall–in other words, it’ll never budge. And, Nanit’s camera and stand go behind the crib, never coming in contact with your baby or the crib. A 2-year-old in the 90th percentile of growth (aka baby LeBron James!) wouldn’t be able to reach the Camera, even if standing with arms outstretched.
