Although there were occasional outages and difficulties, Nanit worked well overall. The video app is easy to use and allows you to easily adjust different volumes and motion notifications. Given the amount of traveling I do with my baby and my reliance on Nanit to check for naps, I added the $280 travel camera bundle.
Unfortunately, despite its name, it is not made for regular travel.
Nanit uses a large amount of bandwidth. It may not be a problem at home, but it may cause problems at a family member's or friend's home. Then there's WiFi, which Nanit doesn't recommend or allow you to use at all. The most important of these is open networking, and we strongly recommend using the guest network (WiFi used in most properties). The Travel Camera Bundle is “travel-ready” in the sense that it comes with a portable stand, but it's not travel-ready in the sense that it comes with a portable stand, but it's not travel-ready where the only Wi-Fi options are your hotel's WiFi or Airbnb with a guest network.
Getting in touch with people on Nanit outside of a basic on-page chatbot is notoriously difficult. I'm not the only one noticing this problem. The only clarity as to why they offer travel bundles when they are not available where most people stay while traveling is “Security reasons” on his general Nanit network description page.
To be fair to Nanit, most, if not all, WiFi-enabled video baby monitors limit or refuse to work on open networks. I learned about this the first time I installed a nanit in a hotel. Unfortunately, I didn't really read all the details on how to use Nanit and thought it was designed for regular travel. I ended up scouring forums, blogs, and Reddit to see if there were any workarounds to the connectivity issue that I hadn't thought of before. Judging by his Reddit posts of other Nanit users who realized too late that there was no easy way around this problem, it's comforting to know that I wasn't the only one who made that mistake. Ta. The only solution that some people found successful was to use a high bandwidth mobile hotspot.
It's understandable that the company would want to thwart the possibility of camera hacking. His WiFi in hotels is notoriously unsafe even in the best hotels. Cybersecurity experts recommend using online safety measures like VPNs and mobile hotspots when accessing sensitive information online using your hotel's Wi-Fi. No parent wants their kids to be monitored by hackers, and cameras make it easy to see when a hotel room is unoccupied. It's easy to imagine that on the Nanite side, there is some hesitation about what kind of story will come out after the hack.
For those who travel frequently, Nanit's travel camera bundle price couldn't make more sense.
My family still uses Nanit every day. The travel stuff comes out on occasional trips to family homes. But don't forget about the mobile hotspot to make Nanit Travel Bundle a true travel baby monitor with video.
