Super cool product! Will really help give parents more peace of mind and understand their babies' sleeping patterns better. Sharing with my friends to add it to their baby registries.
@adelynzhou Thanks Adelyn! This is just the start for our technology! We really appreciate your support.

This product has completely changed the game for me and my wife. Our 2 year old has been a beta tester and it transformed not only his sleep, but also ours. The analytics are incredible and opened our eyes to insights about his sleep that we never knew existed. LOVE nanit!
@aholidayiii Thanks Aaron! Your family has been so helpful throughout the beta testing process and we're thrilled that Nanit has helped you understand and improve your little one's sleep, and get some more of your own. :)
@mehdilamloum Thanks! We are following a very strict security protocol and adhere to HIPAA standard. The videos are stored encrypted on our servers, in an unidentifiable folder structure.
Just as people use mint to handle their financials and Nest to handle their home security videos, we hope that many people that wants to know more of their baby, be it sleep, behavior, remote view of their baby and video history will want to use our service.
I'm a new mom-to-be who lives in SF, works in tech, and is supremely paranoid and OCD about everything. Nanit sounds like a great way to collect data about our kid, and I'm sure that it appeals even more to my data-minded husband. :) As I work in security, I appreciate the end to end data encryption, the disabled two-way radio, video streaming to only authenticated devices, and the fact that Nanit is HIPPA compliant.
We're currently using a Nest cam as a baby monitor and it's pretty awesome. How does the video quality & night vision compare? Also, I might have missed it, but how is it mounted?
@mattpickle_ Thanks! The video quality and night vision are of great quality and was designed specifically to be a baby camera and optimized for this. The camera is being sold with a floor stand that is being placed between the crib and the wall (next to the crib)
@torkale Man, I'm really tempted to buy this. I really like the temp, humidity, and heat map. It says if the internet goes down, it will still stream? I don't store video with Nest, so not really interested in looking at past video.
@metapickle many security cams do not work on home network when Internet goes down. Imagine yourself cooking at the kitchen, your kid is crying upstairs, and you don't get the sound notification you are expecting for at these situations. It is unacceptable from the parent perspective, and with our product it just won't happen.
@assafg agree 100%. Does this mean that I could run the cam all the time without sending video through your servers? That would be a huge selling point.
As a new dad of a 3 month old, I have mixed feelings about this. When we came home from the hospital we put our daughter in her crib, expecting her to fall asleep for hours. Our Nest cam was ready to capture every move. Electronic thermometers were in place to measure the room's temperature. But within minutes, she was crying her head off and in our rocking arms. The following three months weren't much different. We tried many different sleeping arrangements to get her to fall asleep (e.g. Having her sleep in our arms while we took shifts staying awake, having her sleep in our bed in a safe co-sleeper, etc.). All the while, our crib, Nest cam and thermometers were gathering dust.
Finally, nearly three months in, we've been able to get her in the crib where she'll sleep for a few hours at a time. But so long as we're practicing safe sleeping practices (e.g. placing her on her back), I don't feel like I need to know every single detail about her night's sleep (and we're a couple that is paranoid about safety and tends to want to know the details).
That said, the product looks really well built. It's features address the main concerns I had when shopping for monitors, and I definitely would have bought it over the Nest. Perhaps it would come in handy as my daughter sleeps in her crib more now that she's comfortable with it. Regardless, kudos to the team for what looks like a beautiful product that blows the competition away!
@geoffreyweg Thanks for the comments and critique. Parenting is unique for everyone and certain features appeal to different people. We've designed a product that hopefully will provide the best user experience while also providing valuable features that certain parents want.
@geoffreyweg thanks Geoffrey for sharing your thoughts. Parenting is around exploration, finding the best for your kid. We are trying to make this exploring easier for you, so you could reach your sweet spot of your parenting style in an easier way. May I ask how eventually you succeed in putting your daughter to sleep?

Our team was Wareness.io loved working on this launch. The team is top notch and parents themselves. We originally got interested in Nanit because it enabled a tremendous amount of insights without the need for attaching anything to a newborn. No wearable required. Secondly the mobile app experience is really cool and provides 'co-parenting' so all modern families can be better parents and learn and communicate together.
@parkeragee@msuster Hi Parker. Mark Suster led our Seed round last year and he has been a huge champion of us throughout our stealth phase. Regarding your question about security, I am a mom of two kids (13 and 11), so I can relate. Indeed, almost everyone on the team here has children. This is going to sound like marketing speak, but in truth, almost every decision about our product started from our understanding -- through research and personal experience -- of this life stage. Here are a few examples: (1) we actively chose to disable to two way speaker so no one can speak to your baby via a microphone, (2) we're using 256 bit encryption, (3) we're HiPPA compliant. You can read more about our approach here: https://www.nanit.com/safety-and.... Or feel free to shoot us more questions as you have them.
Love the product!
Looking back at the time my two kids where just born, I would have payed anything for a product like this.
Full disclosure: I know the founder personally and I'm sure his team will be the next big thing.
Ok - super intrigued by this. We had been using a NestCam and between Janky connectivity and frequent outages during Nest updates, found it totally unreliable. If it's a stand that goes next to the crib, how do you prevent a kid from grabbing it and giving it a pull? My troublemaking 18mo would constantly be playing with it if it's in her reach.
@kylejudah The stand has been tested with that specific scenario in mind. The legs are weighted to prevent the stand from tipping. Additionally, while not apparent, the stand is 171cm off the ground to help prevent your troublemaker from grabbing it.
@kylejudah Great question! we have taken extra safety and security steps to the extreme with Nanit. The camera arm was designed to be above a certain height such that 95-99th percentile of kids at the age of 2 won't be able to reach it when they raise their hands. As a side note, here is a link to a pic of my kid Udi raising his hands to check the camera hight in one of the first experiments ;)
