Cam/Sock Combo
I bought the cam as a bonus to use with the sock we already owned! I was still pregnant so have just recently started using it. My baby boy is now 3 weeks & we are loving it. I love the notifications & the temp checks for the room. The only issue we have had a few false readings of temp in his room only when the air is running. I'm sure it's from the camera's position to the vent. We absolutely love all the owlet products & will continue to use them for peace of mind!! “This review reflects my experience with, and opinion of, this product as an actual customer.

Worst cam on the market
The camera is HORRIBLE. Go to the owlet app on the App Store to see real reviews of what this product is really like! It's constantly loading and trying to connect but never will. The sound always cuts out which means that the video is frozen.

    App always loses connection
    The picture/sound quality is great...when the app connects. 6/10 times the app will not connect or lose connection. I have reached out to customer service & they tell me it's a problem with my wifi. Meanwhile I've lived in two different homes with this camera & never had an issue with other devices on wifi. This product is so terrible I cannot wait to get something new for my next child. I would NEVER recommend.

    DO NOT BUT THIS!
    I have had this product for less than 2 months and it hardly ever works!!! Which is very inconvenient when you're trying use use it after you put your baby to sleep. It also doesn't come with an actually monitor so if it doesn't work on your phone, you're just out of luck. Customer service wants me to do 80 million things to try and fix it. I'd just rather use our cheap one that I know actually works.

    Eases my anxiety!
    We had the sock which we used because we bed shared (bad I know). I got the camera to put him in his own room and I'm impressed. My husband sleeps with the live video running on his phone through out the night. You can set the sensitivity of the noise and motion which is great. I love this thing and will be using owlet for our future children!

    Always disconnected
    This camera non-stop disconnects. The only Way to reconnect is to go into your baby's room and fix it which is not ideal during naps. I would suggest going with another brand. I have 2 cameras and neither work. two

    Great Monitor
    This review reflects my experience with and opinion of this product as an actual customer. Note: I received a small incentive for posting my opinion." The Camera, app and notifications are great. One thing I look forward to is the improvements of the app. Right now the app takes the full screen of my phone and cannot minimize as a screen within a screen. I know it can get there someday, still this product is 5 stars

    A Must Have!
    I put the owlet baby monitor on my registry after reading many great reviews. This product didn't disappoint, and lived up to its reviews. When my husband is gone from home for work he loves being able to see our baby sleep through his phone on the app. This product is amazing and we would recommend it to anyone.

    Peace of mind!
    This review reflects my experience with and opinion of this product as an actual customer. Note: I received a small incentive for posting my opinion. I absolutely love my Owlet camera! It let's me know if the room is too cold or too hot, allows me to see and hear my baby when I am not in the room, allows me to speak to my baby through the camera, keeps track of the noise level, and also let's me know the humidity in the room. I seriously love it so much! I think every parent needs one. I wish this had been an option with my first child. The app also provides sleep tips and helpful information about your baby at their specific age! I am sure there is something I am forgetting, but it is great!

    Felt safe while baby slept!
    We received the camera and sock prior to our soon being born and have been using the product almost 2 years later ! Sock gave us confidence that if anything happened during the night we would be made aware ASAP! The camera has been very helpful and reliable throughout the night and naps too. Being able to pull the camera up on the app to just make sure everything is okay is very easy and reliable! Fully recommend this product!

    Great extra eyes and ears
    I chose this camera and received as a shower gift! Nice packaging. I can see and hear my baby on my phone and talk to her from anywhere. The camera has a clear picture and sends me an alert when movement and sound is detected so I don't have to constantly keep the app open. It also allows for sensitivity settings so you're not getting notifications every time a car drives by. Only improvement I would like to see is a wireless option in addition to the cord, that allows you to move the camera around the house in instances where I leave her in my room or downstairs while I shower or cook.

    Very user friendly and good quality
    I bought the owlet sock & monitor duo about a month ago. We set up the monitor to get a good idea of how it works. It was VERY simple! The quality is good it just lags a little. I wish you could re/watch the live feed & fix the small delay. Other than that it is perfect! I always talk to my husband through the camera as well.

    Great camera!
    I've had this camera now for almost two years. I never had any problems with using the sock and the camera together. My husband is in the military, and he loves being able to log in and say goodnight or check in on our daughter from wherever he is. The day and night time mode is very clear and it zooms in well enough to watch her chest rise and fall. It displays the temperature and the sock information when using both. Now, we only use the camera. I will say I have two reasons for giving it 4 stars: WiFi connectivity issues and the background audio feature. I've had several issues (maybe due to software updates) with the wifi disconnecting in the middle of the night, and I have to get out of bed to reconnect the camera (unplug, ready to pair, scan the code, etc). It's a pain and inconvenience but it doesn't happen every night. The other downside is the background audio feature. You can turn it on to play the audio 24/7 in the background but it eventually goes quiet and quits playing the audio. We bought monitors that plug in to the wall for this reason because we want to hear if she throws up etc. Overall, I would recommend 10/10 buying the sock for peace of mind (never had an issue!) and 8/10 for the camera just because of some software issues.

    Comfort, safety for Alzheimer's impacted husband
    It's working great. I still have some things to learn about making it work the best for me. I am checking it at various distances from my home to see how far away I can go. It is going to give some freedom to be in other areas of our home while my husband is napping and maybe even a short walk.

    Love the features with app
    I bought this before our sons arrival as I had lots of friends recommend owlet due to the great features, cam quality,app etc. we use the “background” audio feature on the app so we can hear him once he starts fussing. I'm sure once he gets older the two way audio would be nice too. Overall babe Is 4 weeks old and we love it. The clarity on camera is good, and haven't had issues with connection. It'll be nice when I go back to work night shifts and I can just go straight to my app to check on him. Gives me peace of mind. It also looks sleek with the mount by his crib.

    Dad likes the features. Mom likes Peace of Mind
    Having a peace of mind that my daughter is safe in her crib is “everything”. Getting app notification sound alerts is useful whether I am in the house with her or at work checking in while the nanny cares for her.

    Great baby monitor!
    Super easy to install and set up and great user interface on the app. The app notifies for movement and sound and you can set the sensitivity level. It even tells you the temperature of the room and if it's ok for baby. The camera is very clear and can be zoomed in when on the app. We love this wifi baby monitor and will use it for a long time. The only small feedback would be to maybe add functionality to see recording of notification history - it only allows for live view. You can't go wrong with this baby monitor!
