Only if it’s a password protected wifi network. Ours was open (which most hotels are for ease of connection) and the camera would not pair for that reason
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Don't buy it, it depends on the network at the hotel and in most cases how they have them setup "captive portal" will not work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Nanit can connect to password-protected WiFi networks. For security reasons, Nanit does not allow connections to any networks that are not password protected, or networks with captive portals. We care about your privacy and do not want your data to be shared on any open networks. A few tips that other Nanit users have used in the past when traveling: - Use a travel router to broadcast the hotel's connection. You should be able to set up a travel router to have the same username and password as your home network to help Nanit connect more seamlessly - Ask the hotel if they have a hidden network for guests with baby monitors that require password-protected wifi. Some hotels have this in place, otherwise, some may be able to create a password-required network if they don't have one set up already. There is always the possibility that others are connected to the hotel wifi network as well, so that choice is up to your discretion. - Use your phone as a hotspot for Nanit - Some laptops can share the hotel's wifi as a hotspot with a password protection
