Nanit Now Has A Dedicated Screen For Its Smart Baby Monitor

Nanit's award-winning smart baby monitor is a popular pick for new parents thanks to its user-friendly design and advanced features, including breathing monitoring, sleep tracking, and built-in white noise and nature sounds. We love the Nanit Smart Baby Monitor System as a luxury baby gift, since a reliable baby monitor is essential for the newborn stage. With the launch of Nanit Home, parents can now keep an eye on baby without having the Nanit app open on their phone. The dedicated 8-inch touchscreen pairs with the Nanit baby monitor, bringing features like live video, two-way audio, safety notifications and live sleep status to a standalone screen. Curious about the Nanit smart baby monitor? See our in-depth review. 

What is the Nanit Home display?

The Nanit Home is a companion display, not a standalone baby monitor—it requires a Nanit Smart Baby Monitor to function. The 8-inch touchscreen is designed primarily for at-home monitoring in existing Nanit households, rather than a universal monitor accessory. The Nanit Home display includes the following key features:

• 1080p HD monitoring and two-way audio
• Real-time safety notifications and live sleep status
• Breathing motion monitoring
• Split-screen viewing for multiple Nanit cameras

Why a dedicated Nanit screen matters

Is the Nanit Home essential for your nursery setup? Not necessarily, but it adds a layer of convenience. A dedicated display keeps the nursery feed visible at a glance while freeing up your phone for everyday use. It can be especially helpful in multi-caregiver households, giving grandparents, babysitters, or other caregivers an easy way to check on baby without relying on a personal device. The 8-inch display also provides a larger viewing area than most phone screens, making it easier to monitor the nursery from across the room.

What to know before you buy

The most important caveat is that the display does not include a camera and cannot function as a baby monitor on its own. Some functionality still lives in the Nanit app; for instance, Nanit says detailed Sleep Insights aren't currently accessible from the Home Display. Priced at $179 USD/$300 CAD, it's a meaningful additional expense on top of the existing smart monitor. It's best suited for existing Nanit users or shoppers already considering investing in the full ecosystem.

Where to buy the Nanit Home display

The Nanit Home display is available from several retailers in both Canada and the US. Canadian shoppers can buy it directly from Nanit Canada, as well as West Coast Kids and Snuggle Bugz. In the US, the display is available from Nanit, Target, Amazon, Babylist and Albee Baby. Availability and promotions can vary by retailer, so it’s worth comparing prices before buying.
