Built for new parents, Nanit’s hardware and analytics translate overnight video into actionable sleep insights — though many advanced features live behind a subscription.
Why Nanit
Why parents choose Nanit
Nanit camera: overhead HD monitoring
Nanit’s signature overhead camera snaps a stable, wide-angle view of the crib so parents can watch sleep cycles without disturbing the baby. Expect crisp low-light performance, two-way audio for soothing from your phone, and the ability to add multiple cameras for full nursery coverage. The camera’s wall-mount and compact design prioritize a tidy, permanent nursery setup.
Breathing Wear and sleep insights
Breathing Wear is a fabric garment designed to be visible to the camera so Nanit’s algorithms can detect chest movement and report breathing motion without sensors attached to the baby. Paired with Nanit Insights, the system delivers sleep scores, trends, and coaching nudges — a combination that emphasizes data-backed improvements rather than raw video alone.
