Why choose a Wi-Fi baby monitor?
A Wi-Fi monitor streams to your phone, so you can check on your baby from anywhere: the next room, dinner out, or a work trip. Traditional monitors only work within range of a parent unit. Wi-Fi also unlocks features local monitors can't offer, like sleep tracking, video clips, and shared access for caregivers. Nanit also works over your home network, so you can still watch at home if the internet goes out.

FAQs
Is a Wi-Fi baby monitor secure?
Every Nanit video stream is encrypted with bank-level security. The camera's built-in technology prevents outside sources from accessing videos. See our full privacy and security policy here.
Can I watch my baby when I'm not home?
Yes. The Nanit app streams live HD video to your phone from anywhere with an internet connection.
What's the difference between a Wi-Fi and a non-Wi-Fi baby monitor?
Non-Wi-Fi monitors use a local signal and a dedicated parent unit, so they only work within range. Wi-Fi monitors like Nanit stream to your phone from anywhere and can add features like sleep tracking and video history.
Can grandparents or sitters watch too?
Yes, you can create a profile for any caregiver with customizable access levels. The Nanit Home Display is also a great option for grandparents and babysitters, as it offers a dedicated screen that syncs directly with the Nanit app.
How does Nanit protect my baby's video feed?
Nanit protects video with 256-bit AES encryption, the same end-to-end encryption banks use. The app is also updated regularly with security improvements.
