Sense-U Smart Baby Sock Monitor and 2.5K PTZ Camera, Tracks Heart Rate, Sleep Trends & Movement Anytime Anywhere, Video Monitor

Great product
This is excellent for easing your worries about your little one while they sleep. Use it every night and thankful for the sock as it gives alerts if anything’s going on the bay station extends the signal allowing for monitoring from the other room

Good product and worth the money
Works as advertised, camera quality is good and app is easy to use. Only thing I wish it had was more function for a face covered alert, but otherwise it works well and has been consistent on heart rate reporting

Very finicky. Only works under specific conditions
The camera portion works great but I’m disappointed with the ankle monitor. The monitor won’t read if the baby is kicking or moving. The station that plugs into the wall has a hard time connecting to the sock motor and it has to be in close proximity register. Meaning that if you have the station set up in the room the baby sleeps in the monitor will only work in that room so it won’t work if you have baby down for a nap in a different room. I also wish it could tell blood oxygen levels instead of only heart rate.

Meaningful baby tech for better rest for both babies and parents
Amazon invited me to review this as part of the Vine program. I am an unusual reviewer in that all three of our kids had medical alert devices for 6-9 months after birth. They were prescribed though we at times wondered if they were medically necessary. I understand this has not been rated as a medical device, but my point is that we know more about monitoring heart rate (bradycardia in our case) than many. We also looked deeply at the science involved.Now those kids are having babies, so I give this monitor an informed grandparent seal of approval.Since the time of most concern is early, there is little danger that the sensor will be removed starting out. It certainly is wise to be sure it fits snugly, but doesn’t chafe. A covering sock is also a common hack. Eventually there is every likelihood the sensor will be removed, but that may also be an indicator that the time of most concern is ending or over. Pitocin, commonly used to induce labor, can be associated with bradycardia, which does not always resolve immediately. SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) is still a risk even with the widespread practice of “safe sleeping” habits. Since it is still unexpected and unexplained, it is impossible to predict.So essentially here you have a combination of a smart watch and a monitor camera with an app that gives alerts. That is all very familiar tech these days and I’m happy to see it available for newborns and their parents. While the camera is only 2.5k, not 4k, it is point and zoom which makes that sufficient for nighttime monitoring. It does not have supplemental infrared light like some night vision cameras.I suggest starting with lots of alerts and then tailoring them to your needs as you become comfortable distinguishing between false and meaningful alarms over time. If you tend toward hypervigilance, a device like this may also allow you to make your own tweaks (in your vigilance) without disturbing your baby more than necessary.While the sock should be discarded somewhere around 9-12 months (it says it can be used up to 18 months,) the camera and the app with its alerts can continue to be used much longer (or until baby #2?!)
