The Babble Band is for busy parents. You can track your baby without having to carry around a non-portable monitor. It is ideal to use when doing household chores that require both hands.
The Babble Band has a vibrating mode and a light mode. The band will vibrate for 8-seconds, long enough to let you 'feel' that there are sounds from your baby's room. There are also LED lights that provide visual cues when there is noise in the nursery.
You'll still be in range even if you go outside the house. The wristband beeps if you move out the 800-feet diameter and will continue until you move back in range.
You have to choose a time when you don't need to monitor your baby to put the band to charge. It requires six hours to charge and only charges by placing it on top of the baby unit.
The camera has a 130-degree viewing angle lens that can cover a large area and shoots good 1080p video due to its 1/3" sensor. It has built-in high-sensitivity microphone and a reasonable speaker that allows communicating to anyone near the camera. The audio communication is loud and clear.
The camera comes with a single-page quick-start guide. PC/Mac setup is done by connecting the camera via USB and following the on-screen prompts. Companion app setup is done by pairing the devices via Bluetooth LE and following on-screen prompts. Prompts guide through creating a dropcam.com account, logging in and giving Wi-Fi login credentials.
Android and iOS smartphones have polished companion apps that allow accessing camera's live feed from anywhere. It's possible to pan and zoom via the apps.
Movement and sound-based activity alerts can be sent via email or smartphone's push notifications. It's possible to set which zones should trigger alerts and which zones should be ignored as well as schedule times when alerts should and should not be sent.
A live feed can be accessed via web as well as Android and iOS apps. It can even be used for two-way communication thanks to Dropcam's built-in microphone and speaker.
The Simshine Baby Pro is a unique baby monitor as it offers PTZ support, unlike many other costly baby monitors. With the ability to remotely control the camera through an app, you can easily view your baby's entire room from anywhere, at any time.
Setting up is a breeze with the app. Simply draw a boundary on the video and the Baby Pro will instantly send an alert if your baby tries to venture beyond it. While it can be used to define the edges of your baby's crib, its full potential shines when your little one starts walking and the camera is positioned on a shelf.
LED lights will alert you when there is noise coming from your baby's room. This is best for when the audio can easily be drowned by sounds in the room you're in.
You can easily switch the lenses to suit your needs. You can use a close-up lens for intimate vision of your baby and swap for panoramic lens when your child becomes more mobile to provide a full view of your child's room.
This is the ideal setup for two children in two separate rooms. You can choose to see the rooms at the same time on split-screen or go on 'patrol', which auto switches the view in 10-second intervals.
You can view the rooms anywhere you are using the Hubble App. It is compatible with all Android and iOS devices. You can also choose to get push notifications when sound is heard from either room.
It is not limited to viewing only with a proprietary screen or app. You can access it like any other surveillance camera (that includes remote access, integration with NAS, etc)
Since it works like a surveillance camera, it requires steps to connect it to the WiFi network, set up user access, etc. This is as opposed to monitors that come with their own screen.
The companion app is simple and intuitive. With it it's possible to enable/disable monitoring, set alert thresholds, choose a lullaby to play, adjust night light colors and brightness, and turn non-stop listening mode on or off. In monitoring mode in addition to the live video feed the app displays temperature, humidity and audio level as well as gives easy access to microphone for two-way communications, turning the built-in night light on and off, playing a lullaby and taking a picture.
The camera can monitor movement, sound, temperature, and humidity and send alerts via push notification when it detects changes. The sensitivity of when alerts should be triggered can be adjusted.
The device comes with a selection of lullabies preloaded that can be played through the built-in speaker. Lullabies include:
The Alphabet Song
Brahms Lullaby
Chopin Nocturne
Silent Night
For Elise
White noise
Ocean
A live feed can be accessed from anywhere via companion app. Access to the feed requires logging in. Multiple accounts can be set up. The camera can even be used for two-way communication thanks to built-in microphone and speaker.
Piper can communicate with Z-Wave sensors and control Z-Wave switches. Together they can be used to control lighting, entertainment system, and household appliances based on conditions defined with Piper.
Piper includes sensors that can monitor movement, sound, temperature, brightness and humidity and perform a variety of actions based on changes detected by the sensors. Actions such as start recording, blare a screeching siren and send alerts via sms, email, call or push notification. It can even perform actions such as turn lights on or off if a Z-Wave switch is installed. Separate rules can be set when home, away or on vacation.
Companion apps for iOS and Android are available. The apps give access to sharp, detailed 10x digital zoom and allow splitting the view up in 4 parts so it's possible to zoom in on multiple places at the same time.
The dedicated free app on Android and iOS allows the parent to see the baby at any time and get push notifications when there's movement. It also has interesting features such as sleep analysis including when the baby fell asleep and for how long.
Due to its unique stand that's designed to be put next to the baby's crib, the camera is located directly above the baby and therefore, there are no blind spots or interferences.
