Customer Ratings & Reviews

My friend truly enjoyed it for his new baby girl :)

Still new to us. I bought this for my daughter, because my wife said it just gives her piece of mind. So as long as there happy!

We purchased this after considering a few other products. Ultimately, we purchased based on the strong recommendations from other new moms. We purchased this a few weeks before our little one arrived. Setting up the camera was easy. We do not have strong wifi in the nursery, so I had to purchase an extender to make sure the signal was strong. The picture is clear and the notifications (motion, sound, temperature) provide plenty of customizations. Once our baby arrived, we were able to try out the sock. Once I practiced putting the sock on a few times, I can now do it in my sleep. The sock provides just the right amount of information for us to track sleep habits. We cared mostly about heartbeat and movement, and now that the app also includes a 10 minute average oxygen level. We don't use this as a "baby-sitter" but rather it's a quick way for nervous parents like us to quickly pull up the app and ensure our baby is sleeping ok, even when he's just asleep right next to us in his crib in our bedroom. I also like that you can monitor the sounds in the background even when you close out of the app (if you select cam audio "background"). They also include extra socks (left and right, in two different sizes). The sock charges extremely quickly and gives us plenty of time to charge it before bed (we only use it at night, not during the day). I have seen some people post about the "lag" between opening the app and getting results; I agree that it's not instant, but it only takes a few seconds (seriously, seconds) for the camera and the sock metrics to load. I think we've become a bit spoiled by technology that even waiting a second or two causes people to be upset. I do think that having a strong wifi signal and ensuring you read the manual would probably solve for about 80% of people's issues with the product. We are extremely happy and would highly recommend it. This review reflects my experience with and opinion of this product as an actual customer. Note: I received a small incentive for posting my opinion.

It really want all that the hype was about, the only real good thing was the monitor(camera) but it also gave out. Good thing I had bought the geek squad protection on it so I get to exchange it out for another one

This product provides us with unbelievable relief and security.

Bought this for my soon to be born grand baby,Charlotte! It will be a comfort for her Mommy and Daddy.

I love the owlet sock! The only thing is the camera tends to go off on its own sometimes

The Owlet Dream Duo is a baby monitoring system composed of two parts (plus the app), one HD camera and one sock monitor. I've got some prior experience with the sock and so knew what to expect there. What excited me about the Duo was the pairing of the camera with the app. This means I'd have a baby monitor camera that I could access from anywhere in the house over wifi. While handheld monitor systems are nice and I like my current one, the big downside is needing to keep yet another device charged and needing to keep track of the monitor. With a phone accessible camera, I can just use the device which will be near to hand most of time time and easy to find when it's not. Unboxing, the camera looks nice and sleek. It's not babified so it's looks pretty much like any other camera you may have doing some home monitoring. Getting things setup with my wifi went pretty quickly with the app and the camera quality was great. Positioning the camera however had some issues. There's no pan/tilt on the camera so you are relying on it's great field of view to compensate for furniture or other room issues that may prevent you from placing it such that baby is in direct line of sight. Once you figure out placement, things are mostly good though there's a strange issue - consistent wireless connection. It seems strange but just like my regular non-wifi wireless baby monitor, this one has some connection issues where it randomly disconnects. I'd expect a solid connection from a wifi based camera - especially given that home monitoring systems tend to be pretty reliable in that regard. The sock sensor worked well - as expected. It's pretty easy to put on and adjust and gives you heart rate and oxygen levels. The app doesn't directly tell you if there's an abnormal heart rate or change in O2, but it will prompt you that baby's sleep has been disturbed and you can then see what the heart rate and oxygen levels were at the time the disturbance was detected. Otherwise, you get some movement and noise analytics to help start putting together a picture of baby's sleep routine. And you still get the sleep coaching offered through the app. Overall, my score is a 3. The sock + app combo definitely is a solid 4 stars, but the camera limitations and connection issues brings down my overall rating for the Duo. Hopefully, this is something that can be fixed via an over-the-air update versus being a design flaw with the camera.

Loved it, we've been using it for about a year and it makes our nights much easier

The Owlet Dream Duo works on the principle that, through better monitoring of your baby and your baby's environment, better sleep is possible for not only your baby, but also for your family. The kit comes with the Owlet monitoring sock and a wifi connected monitoring camera. Together, you can see your baby on your smart device through the camera while monitoring your baby's sleep and environment. Things like room temperature, humidity, and noise level of the room are monitored surroundings of your baby while your baby's oxygen level, heart rate, and overall sleep quality are monitored by the Owlet sock you put on your baby's foot. The sock is small and, in my opinion, unobtrusive. Our baby seemed to have no isseue wearing it. The kit includes multiple sizes so that, as your child grows, the system can grow with them. I love how the sock is rechargeable when placed in the included base station. The app on your phone lets you look at statistics on how your baby sleeps. It even give you recommendations and tips on how to help your baby sleep. All in all, this kit give us peace of mind when it comes to our child.

Gives you peace of mind while allowing everyone to get some sleep!

Perfect, what my daughter wanted for her baby!! Very pleased

It offers peace of mind and comfort knowing our baby is fine.

Great to help ease my mind when my little ones are sleeping

Device work great but the app does not support it anymore

Nice system but hard to set up. Our baby is too active so the sock kept disconnecting. This made it hard for us to use. Base also played annoying song we couldn't turn off.

Love it, great overall sound and video are great haven’t had any issues

exellent!! gives peace of mind during night time hours.

I love this Owlet monitor! I have two grandchildren. My daughter used the Owlet sock for her first born and now uses the upgraded Owlet Dream Duo for her newborn. We can both monitor the baby remotely via the phone app. This gives us peace of mind with scary things like SIDS. Thankfully my grandchildren have never had any abnormal readings (heart rates or oxygen saturation's). However, this sock is a life saver. One of my good friends uses the Owlet sock for her child. The monitor warned that the baby’s oxygen saturation was dangerously low in the middle of the night. The baby was then taken to the hospital. Turns out, the baby was not breathing and he was gravely ill. Had the sock not notified the parents, who knows what could have happened. The sock saved his life. He is now home safe and healthy. This monitor also includes video which is so useful. I can remotely see my grandchildren as they sleep at night and nap. It puts my mind at ease. I love the bio-metrics that analyze and improve the quality of the sleep. The camera was easy to install. The app is very user friendly for me and my daughter. The sock is very easy to place on the foot. It takes a little time to get used to the placement but the monitor will warn you if it is not placed correctly. My only gripe is that the sock monitor can shift off the foot in the middle of the night and start buzzing. However, this setting can be turned off if bothersome. It has only happened a few times thankfully. We love the Owlet. We will be using it for all of our future children and grandchildren. We will never go without it!

I've been enjoying owlet socks since my daughter was born almost 2 years. We have another little one on the way in a couple months and I'll be using an owlet sock on both kids for a little while. They work and offer a great peace of mind especially when your child is so tiny (arguably, we probably don't NEED to continue using a sock on our almost 2 year old but we do out of habit and it's nice to have the data it provides about how well she's been sleeping. The socks are usually pretty easy to set up. As long as your wifi settings are within the parameters. The last time I had some issues with a sock going offline for a bit happened to be because I got a new router and turned on dns over tls and the owlet sock didn't like that much. I'm not sure if this is still an issue since it's still turned off on my router. Other than that, as long as you're connecting to a 2.4ghz wifi network, you shouldn't have any issues setting up your sock. And it's pretty easy to just reset and repair the sock if you ever need to for any reason. You'll need an owlet account and the specific owlet dream app (instead of their other owlet app). I did notice that the app has been updated since the last owlet dream sock I had to include the O2 level again. This was something that got removed with the initial dream sock release but I was hopeful it would be restored with a software update and it looks like it has in the form of a 10 minute average. The socks are all great. I would recommend them to any new parent or any parent at all. It offers such a good peace of mind to know that if there's any striking issues with your child, you'll immediately know. False positives are really rare. Occasionally we'll need to fight with positioning for it to read correctly but that's not very often either. On to the camera. This is where things start to go downhill for me, sadly. I was excited to have a monitor that I could check on my phone instead of needing to carry around an extra screen when we put her to bed. I was even more excited when I saw how well thought out things were when I noticed that they included a bunch of modular wall channels so you can "hide" the power cable along the wall. They include enough to cover pretty much the entire length of the power cable which is also very long and very appreciated... Then I went to actually set up the camera. I spent a good hour trying to get it to connect to my wifi. The setup process seems simple. You give it your wifi information and it displays a QR code that you show to the camera and listen for a beep saying that it connected. In practice it was a real pain to work. After I couldn't get it to connect for an hour on my own, I called support and they told me that the QR code might not be translating one of the special characters in my wifi password correctly and that I would need to change my wifi password to get it to work. I reluctantly tried this on a second wifi extender and finally got the password to work after removing all special characters and spaces from the password. But now, when the app tried to finalize the setup and add the camera to our account, it failed at the end. After more than 1 try, I called support again and got a very helpful person and eventually got it linked to my account. Oddly enough, after hanging up, I tried resetting my wifi password back to what it was and setting up the camera again and it worked this time. I'm not sure if there was a firmware update (if there was, it happened very quickly) or if I was just getting a lot better at getting the camera to see the QR code. Either way, after more than 2 hours of messing around with it, I finally got it set up on my wifi correctly. The camera does work pretty well except that it takes a little bit of time to load up when your launch the app sometimes. The app says the wifi signal is good so I'm not sure what the problem is. Sometimes it loads pretty quick (couple seconds) and sometimes it takes closer to 10-15 seconds. Picture quality is alright. It's nothing to write home about but it gets the job done. It sometimes has the ability to see pretty OK without turning on night vision in the bedroom with a nightlight on which any other camera wasn't able to do. I would have loved the ability to move and pan the camera in the app but the camera does get a large enough view that I don't really need to move it around. The app includes a few camera specific options that are nice. You can set up notifications for motion, sound, temperature and humidity so you get alerts when something moves or makes sound or when the environment falls outside of the ranges you specify are OK (their defaults are a little silly, but it's all adjustable). These notifications are account-wide so anyone logged into the owlet account will get them. The nice thing is there's a few quick options right on the home screen of the owlet app that let you turn off notifications on just that device if you want. You can also adjust the video quality of the camera (defaults to automatic) and you can specify the audio to either be on (default) while the app is open, off, or background which is nice to keep playing the audio while you do other things on your phone and/or lock it. I have experienced a time when the background audio cut out though. Still a nice feature to have. All in all, these owlet products are still pretty great. The camera's setup process really soured me on the whole thing but I'm sure I'll get over it and there's a good chance you won't have any issues. The support people I talked to were very nice and the second person I talked to was very helpful (instead of just telling me that I'll probably have to change my wifi password). I still think the socks are amazing for the peace of mind that they give you while your kids are asleep. The camera is nice because it's integrated into the same app but you do lose that ability to quickly glance at the camera whenever you want like you can when you have a separate monitor device. It takes a few seconds to check now. I think I'd recommend the owlet sock but say that the camera doesn't really do anything that cheaper alternatives do aside from being accessed from your phone. So if that's important to you, get this bundle. Otherwise maybe just get a sock.
