Owlet Dream Bundle - Bedtime Blue

1st one did not work, got a replacement, 3 months in and works brilliant with no issues!

Bought it in July 2024, returned after a few months use. This combo of camera and sock was the most expensive item we bought as new parents.Camera - very bad video quality (like an inbuilt camera of a laptop from 2000s) and that’s without any zoom. Once you zoom, everything is pixelated. Night mode is non-existing since the camera needs a some light source to show your baby - what? It doesn’t have any remote manoeuvring whatsoever, and you can’t mount it on the crib.The app: since there is no external monitor, this app is all you have so your phone or your partners phone is continuously busy as a monitor - every parent friend of ours who saw this was surprised at my decision making behind buying a baby cam without a monitor. The app has very little to no functionalities - you can’t take pictures or record videos when you want. The product description says it record videos I have no idea how it does that.The Sock - as new parents with anxiety to check on our baby every 30mins, this was a blessing from week 4 to week 8. Apparently you should not use it till your baby is 4-weeks old. Their fine print says so, I think. For the first few weeks of use it worked fine - we were relaxed to see the green light on sock station without needing to check on the baby whenever one of use woke up at night. It did give a couple of false alarms at night and woke all of us up including the baby. Very loud alarm if it falsely detects your baby’s heartbeat is lower than default range. But after one month use the station just refused to connect with the sock - it uses Bluetooth. We tried resetting, cleaning the sock, changing the size. Nothing worked with the sock and we knew the camera was bad purchase from day one, so we just returned the whole thing and bought a simple baby monitor for one third the price which has pretty much all the functions you can ask it.

Incredibly reassuring. Everything has worked flawlessly, the camera, the sock... I don't understand how people can't get it working, I think it is due to a lack of technological adeptness because the camera can be fixed to 1080p and it does indeed have night vision, the sock provides a stable HR and blood oxygen saturation as well as an alarm on my phone and my wife's phone which has been completely transformative, I used to constantly be worried if my son was breathing, with the sock, I know he's ok and I can see his heart rate, it's literally enabled me to get other things done in the house while I watch his vitals on my phone. Technology is amazing.

Great, has gone down in price since purchase which is a shame. Only problem we've had is sometimes the foot monitor doesn't sync and the camera picks up the smallest noise but not a cry. Had a problem connecting to father in laws WiFi on one visit

As a new parent for a 3 day old baby, I was excited to get this set up and ready to use. The data it was going to provide through the app looked very useful and would have definitely given a peace of mind, especially for my partner who wanted to keep an eye on our baby 24/7.The first few steps of the process were quick and simple. To paraphrase:1. Downloaded the app.2. Followed the on screen instructions.i. Find the local wifi network for the sock and connect it to the home wifi.ii. Once connected to the home wifi, the phone has to find the device in the network- this is where it fell apart.After retrying 2ii several times unsuccessfully, which by the way the app itself admittedly prompts ‘might require several attempts’, I have decided to reset the device and repeat the process. This was also unsuccessful.I went to search the manual, and any sources I could find online to discover that they only connect to 2.4ghz frequency and suggests to set the router to exclusively operate on 2.4ghz while setting up the sock. Eero app fortunately had this feature available, where it temporarily limits all signals to 2.4ghz for 10 minutes. It was yet another trial and error ordeal. All to no avail.At this point, after wasting over an hour straight trying, I decided to calmly pack it up, not stress out about it anymore than I have, and process a return. Maybe take up voodoo classes I don’t believe in to get back at Owlet’s engineers.At the end of the day I may have made some errors, but I can’t see where and how from retracing my steps. I can only speak from my experience and I definitely do not recommend this product. This device was just not meant to be, it seems.
