My husband and I would not be able to sleep throughout the night without our Owlet. It really has given us peace of mind and will make moving our daughter to her crib downstairs, less stressful. With her being farther away. The quality of the camera is extremely clear with great detail and the sound picks up everything. A great feature is being able to select either, hearing the sound in the room, owletcare.com

My monitor screen and camera decided to not connect to each other. I reached out to the customer service. They were very responsive. After few methods to fix the connection, they replaced both items for me even though both of items were out of warranty for 11 months. Very happy with their customer service. My friends recommended the non-wifi camera to monitor our baby’s sleep. Never disappointed. demi.l · influenster.com
