Great Quality
This is the second one we’ve purchased, the first was for our first child which we still use 4 years later.

The smart sock!
The Owlet dreams dou a smart sock for your newborn that will help you understand their sleeping pattern. Honestly the concept of this product is kind of genius because it will give you an overall monitoring of your child while is as sleep. The sock will analyze the humidity in the room, heart rate, O2, (oxygen levels), movement, noise and how many times your baby wakes up. The sock itself is comfortable for the baby and the material used is very soft, it will not bother them at all. This package comes with the camera which you can use to monitor the baby while you're away from the room. You can also get notifications when the baby awakes or if someone walks in the room. The setup process is relatively easy: download the Owlet care app and follow the installation instructions. The product itself is very well made and it comes in a great packaging. One of the boxes has a magnetic lid. I also like the color that was used. It looks nice and neutral, it can be used with any gender. The video quality of the camera is great full HD 1080p with night vision. One of the issues I had with the camera was randomly disconnecting. To get it back on I had to either re-start it or unplug from the power. The sensor attached to the sock can be recharged with the included charging base. Overall it’s a great product with lots of potential. The fact that you can analyze the data provided and get an understanding of your baby sleeping patterns is very helpful. It will also help others with babies that have sleeping problems. In the box you get the sock sensor, 4 socks. charging station, camera with magnetic base, charging cables and wall mounts.

Two Steps Forward One Step Back
Owlet Dream Duo is a combination of the popular Owlet Sock with the Owlet Camera. If you want comprehensive coverage of both baby biometrics along with smart video monitoring that can also be accessed remotely from the internet, this is a great solution. That being said, Owlet has degraded some of the functionality of their original Sock product in this combo product, and the Camera also feels like last-gen tech and not up to par with the sock itself. The biggest discrepancy for anyone who has used the industry-best Owlet socks (I've used the sock for 3 years for all of my kids) is the deprecation of O2 support on the sock. One of the main features along with heartbeat monitor was the oximeter functionality. The older Owlet socks in the Owlet Care app allowed you to view on a very granular level and graph both the pulse and oxigenation levels of your child on a graph. All of this is gone with the Owlet Dream app. That's another gripe, there's a completely different app for the Owlet Dream Duo, even though I probably could register just the sock on the older (and better) Owlet Care app, since Owlet just combines their products into different combos and they're not actually locked to each other. Additionally, the Sock is top notch high tech from both a pairing perspective, it also has USB-C charger and connectivity and lets you connect via BT and then enter your WiFi info which then allows it to connect. In contrast, the Camera only supports 2.4GHz wifi which caused issues with my phone to connect. I had to use my wifes phone and it did connect. The camera also has micro-usb which also hints at older tech compared to the sock. The camera did have all of the nice connection and concealment hardware that their N competitor includes in the kit to help make the camera kid safe. The quality of the camera is also top notch, with a solid build quality and a magnet base that can be wall mounted and is easily adjustable. The image quality wasn't great especially with movement, very grainy, and the IR night vision was just OK and took about 5 seconds to transition. Overall, I think the Owlet Dream Duo is a good solution for parents who want an all-in-one solution for camera and baby vital monitoring in the first 6-12 months of their childs life. Personally we love the sock, but we will stick with a competitor for video monitoring since we feel it works better. Also the sock app with the Dream Duo is a downgrade so we feel the older Owlet Care + Competitor Camera is a better solution for us even if it is two different apps. If Owlet brings back oximeter and improves their camera, I think they'll be more competitive but for now the camera is lagging behind.

Great peace of mind
The Owlet is a smart baby monitor that tracks your baby’s heart rate and oxygen levels while they sleep. It consists of a wearable sock that connects to a base station and a mobile app. The Owlet is designed to give parents peace of mind and alert them if their baby needs attention. There are different versions of the Owlet, such as the Smart Sock, the Smart Sock Plus, the Cam, and the Dream Lab. The Smart Sock and the Smart Sock Plus are similar, except that the Plus can be used for older and bigger children up to 5 years old or 55 pounds. The Cam is a video monitor that works with the Smart Sock to let you see and hear your baby. The Dream Lab is a personalized sleep training program that helps your baby develop healthy sleep habits.

Not great, but not bad...
The package of a dream sock and baby monitor are a good combination for any new parent. In theory that's true. First the sock is a okay feature. It's somewhat cumbersome, and it's a hit or miss when it comes to the actual data that you get from it. The sock is almost an afterthought. The real prize is the baby monitor camera. What you get what that is the actual camera itself, the power plug, and lots of plastic housing to hide the power plug. You will need a smartphone or device. This does not come with an independent monitor. Once you download the app, you pair it, connect the wifi and off you go. The quality of the video is good, even in night mode. You get your basic functions such as detecing motion and sound, see the temperature of the room, and scheduling. The biggest disappoint, is the lag between when an event occurs, and when the app shows it. From my guess, it's about a 4-5 second delay. The wireless router is very close, and I have 1-gig internet, so it's the functionality of the camera to app. If it had a better real time response, then I could give it at least a 4 star rating. It's a good concept but poor execution situation here. Maybe a firmware update can reduce the lag, and better functionality for the sock, but as it stands, I wouldn't recommend it to people. There are better systems out there.
