I have an original Owlet dream sock and always found that ability to really monitor my baby to give an immense amount of peace of mind, beyond just having a camera, but it was lacking exactly that, a camera. I've had other cameras but nothing specifically used for babies, so it was mostly massaging another type of camera to try to get the alerts and such that the Owlet camera does natively. With my new children, I wanted something better. So lets get in to it. Packaging: Straightforward, minimal. The sock, the camera, some literature, the puck that the sock connects to (too bad this isn't built into the camera to reduce overall items and tie it together a little more seamlessly). Setup: It's easy to get things rolling, the puck and camera connect your wifi and the sock connects to the puck. The puck has a light ring that shows status of the baby when worn. I will say that sometimes getting the sock on just right can be a challenge, though I will say the newest generation has less issues with connectivity and mis-reporting than the gen 1 I had before. There is a subscription plan called Owlet 360 which gives more insight into the data, but the devices to function on a free setup as well. Use: As I mentioned, getting the sock on perfectly takes a little practice, but in general it works well, it monitors heartrate, temp, blood oxygen level and it can even track sleep patterns, though that last one I've found a little less useful and more just 'interesting'. It'll alert if there's heart rate or temp concerns, and it did tell me when my baby had run a minor fever (nothing of major concern, but it's nice that I was told without having to guess outright) The camera image is clear, has it's own set of alerts based on movement and sound, tells the temp of the room and in general does well. It's specific for babies so using it in other situations isn't really viable. it's useful by itself even when you dont go through the effort of putting the dream sock on as well, like a quick nap or something similar. Overall: A worthwhile investment for peace of mind, it may (or may not) have you going in to check on your baby in person as much (I dont really know if I do it less than before but I do pull up the video a lot more now that I have it and it works well). I greatly recommend it for any new parents.

This is Owlet’s 3rd generation Dream Duo package that includes a baby monitor and a sock for additional monitoring. You can buy the monitor and the sock separately in case you already have a monitor or baby wearable that you like. If you plan to get both of these, this Dream Duo package will save you a few bucks. The Dream Sight camera took quite a few tries to pair to the Owlet app. Finally, after a couple of factory resets, we got it connected. The camera has alerts for crying, sound and motion detection. Each of these can be turned on/off, or further configured based on sensitivity slider. You can also set time between notifications so that you’re not bombarded with alerts, for example, when the baby starts crying. There is also a way to use the app to stream sound from the camera if you want to use it like an old-fashioned baby monitor, say on an extra tablet or phone. The Dream Sock is the pricer of the two if purchased separately. Unlike the camera, the sock only works on 2.4 GHz wifi. I think the most useful feature is the ability to track your baby’s quality of sleep, i.e., deep vs light sleep. If your baby does not get enough deep sleep, for example, you can expect a lot of crankiness the next day. If you have a healthy baby that does not require any special attention, the sock is likely overkill. But if you’re a nervous parent, then the sock provides some “insurance” that you’re child is ok.

A great product and a must to have if you have a newborn.
