CLOUD BABY MONITOR REVIEW UPDATE
Do you want to change all your passwords, update your security protocols, set up a mesh network, or subscribe to a VPN service? No? For some parents, a Wi-Fi-enabled monitor might not be worth the time or the risk. Ask yourself if you have the time and energy to take some basic security precautions for a Wi-Fi monitor. It's just one more thing to lose in the piles of crayons and robot unicorns that litter our house.īut things that connect to the internet tend to have security problems, and of all the smart home devices in your house, a baby monitor is the one that you’d least want to get hacked. And schlepping a handheld unit around your house is annoying. After all, Wi-Fi capabilities mean you can view your child from your phone, whenever or wherever you want. Our house has smart everything at this point, testing a device without an app is like picking up a fork that's missing two tines. Not having Wi-Fi might throw some parents for a loop. That's mostly because it's not internet-enabled-you just plug it in and point it at your kid's bed. I expected nothing less from Eufy, the maker of adorable, affordable robot vacuums and other smart home appliances.Įufy boasts that the SpaceView, its very first baby monitor, requires no installation out of the box. While it does lack a few features, the SpaceView is a great-looking, reliable, and easy-to-use monitor. There's also an optional wide-angle lens that increases the viewing angle to 110 degrees.įor the past week, I’ve been panning around my kids’ room with the SpaceView’s handheld unit, watching them as they march through the dark in bedtime protest. The shiny, billiard-ball-sized monitor has a 330-degree horizontal rotation and 110-degree vertical rotation to peep in every hidden corner of your kids' room.
While the Eufy SpaceView works well for small babies, it's perfect for the years when your kids are big enough to get out of bed but not yet big enough to know how doorknobs work. That's where the Eufy SpaceView comes in. You need a monitor that can help you play Where's Waldo for hidden pairs of tiny feet. What was that a bump or a thump? Is that a ghost, or is the toddler throwing every single book on the floor? Did they stay under the covers, or are they dangling off the bed? Monitors that mount directly over the crib don't work as well once your kid gets older. But I must warn you, new parents: You’ll need a monitor for much longer than the first year. It's tempting to invest in a high-tech smart monitor that will track each breath and heartbeat and teach them to sleep through the night. If you’re a new parent, you’ve probably spent an inordinate amount of time Googling baby monitors.
