The app is at times a little clunky and sometimes the live feed took a while to load, however this may be down to the quality of my wifi connection, it’s hard to know for sure. Whilst the camera can be moved via the app, I found this to be much slower than when using the monitor directly. I love the fact the camera has two way communication, and the app allows you to keep snapshots of your day / night as a bit of a diary of your child’s movements. The app also lets me keep an eye on nursery conditions including temperature, and will advise me if the room becomes too hot. When connected to the Hubble App via wifi, I can also be alerted via notifications when motion is detected, highlighting the fact that she is starting to wake, or in some cases stand up in her cot. I can even talk to her through the monitor should she need the odd sshhh or calming without leaving the comfort of my own bed! Using the monitor in my own room, I am able to remotely rotate the camera and move it up and down and left to right, which is extremely useful if she rolls out of sight. Its bendy legs and additional height mean that no matter where your nearest shelf or camera hook may be, you can angle the camera to ensure that you get the best possible view of your child whilst keeping the camera safely out of reach. Setting up the camera in her nursery was very straight forward – the set comes with a flexible camera stand that looks a little like a tripod. Compared to other cameras we have used previously (Motorola ones as it happens), the monitor has a much wider screen – meaning that we got a large and high quality colour (1080 mp) image of my daughter in her cot. The Smart Nursery Camera and monitor are visually very impressive.
My experience of the app itself is included in the write up below. For ease, I will discuss our experience’s of the six elements of the Motorola Smart Nursery individually, however it is important to note that they all work inclusively via the Hubble Connected app. The technology is nothing like we have used before, and has the potential to be fantastic when used correctly. We have now had the Motorola Smart Nursery in our home for 2 weeks, and whilst it is early days, we have overall had a positive experience with just a few niggles or things we would change. Parents can use the information from the Motorola Smart Nursery on a daily, weekly and monthly basis to learn more about their baby, and the nursery’s environment. Each product works through the Hubble Connected app to track sleeping patterns, monitor nursery conditions, send alerts and much much more. The range includes the Smart Nursery Cam, alert sensors, connected scales, humidifier and dream machine with features including in-depth analytic tracking, a rechargeable camera and digital scrapbook and video diary. The Motorola Smart Nursery range is a collection of six wifi connected products that are smart on their own, but even smarter together. We have now been testing the range in our home for the last 2 weeks – so here’s the low down! 🙂 As a bit of a tech lover as well as an existing fan of Motorola products, we were keen to see how it faired. We were recently given the opportunity via Mumsnet Blogger Network to roadtest Motorola’s Smart Nursery range, a collection of six products that make up the world’s most intelligent connected baby nursery – using a powerful app to monitor and track your child’s sleeping patterns and nursery conditions.
She has just turned four, and whilst my concerns about safe sleep aren’t as strong as they are with a newborn, a camera has been incredibly useful for those night time wakings, noticing if she’s climbed out of bed, is heading to the loo in the dark, or even when those nasty sickness bugs come to visit. Whilst it may seem a little unorthodox, we also still use a video monitor in Erin’s room. When Neve moved into her own room at around 6 months old, watching her on a monitor next to my bed cushioned the blow a little at least (not that I don’t still see her frequently throughout the night!) There is something unbelievably reassuring about seeing them tucked up snuggly in their cot/bed, hearing them breathing and watching their chest rise up and down in their slumber. I have used a video monitor with both my girls since the day they were born.
