Is a random robot version of your voice coming from nowhere really that reassuring to the baby? I’m not sure. Even in night vision mode, you can see clearly and even pinch-zoom to see if he’s still awake or, like my son, one of those scary people who sleeps with one eye half-open. Having babysat my nephew and watched him sleep through a monitor with grainy black and white footage akin to CCTV footage, this felt like TV quality. The quality of the camera stream is undeniably excellent. Some of the tech is more useful than others.

It also comes paired with your choice of sleek wall mount or free-standing floor stand – both of which keep wires out of reach of baby. The Nanit camera is easily connected to the Nanit app on your phone and comes equipped with overhead, crystal-clear HD video, temperature and humidity tracking, white noise speaker, two-way audio, plus sleep tracking capabilities. You can squeeze a lot of baby-safety tech into a camera the size of your headphones case, apparently. But with the Nanit camera and floor stand it does more than just that.

What do you get when you buy Nanit Plus Baby Monitor? Sure, it’s not a thumbs up from Lucy Meck, but this is what I thought of the smart baby monitor. But now, 5 months into using Nanit, I’m getting 8 hours sleep a night and my son, Huxley, is happy and healthy. When I was delegated by my wife to choose the tech for our nursery, I was sceptical. Lucy Mecklenburgh is a fan and has used it constantly with her baby. But why can't it function as a smart calendar, pulling things from my various accounts to show me my schedule, optionally from already existing calendars of interest (religious/national holidays, sport events, etc), displaying various timezones, weather even, and maybe as a secondary function - news (not "curated" crap but feeds I actually select myself)? Again, it might be just me, but THIS is what I'd expect from a smart display, not the ~85% redundant or outright PR features Google&co are pushing.This raises the question: is it worth it? It’s certainly got the celebrity endorsement. idk, it's all well and good that it can display alerts for events and show me photos at random from my cloud and perhaps control devices around the home. Maybe it's just me, but if I buy what's essentially an always-on tablet for my desktop. Or at best, left to small 3rd parties and DIY enthusiasts. Honestly, it boggles the mind (my mind anyway) that we have so many gadgets, so many "solutions" pushed onto us that never had their problems to begin with, but a simple digital calendar, as it were, for the desks is just. Made an account to jump in here and ask: why is this not what the "smart displays" are? Or alternatively: isn't this what all those fancy "smart displays" should be? I think this is worth looking into.

Likewise, if you have multiple devices, say a smart TV and a monitor, you can have both screens on at the same time. From stock quotes to Slack, there are a wide variety of blocks you can add to your screens so that you have all the information you need throughout your day available at a glance.Īs the Essential plan gives you two custom screens to work with, you could potentially configure one for your work and another for personal matters and switch between the two throughout the day. Much like Wix and Squarespace, DAKboard’s block-based editor allows you to drag and arrange blocks for different tools and integrations to configure your digital dashboard. Loads of integrations to customize your digital dashboardīesides giving you more integrations, the cheapest paid plan (Essential for $5/month) also unlocks an advanced editor that those familiar with any of the best website builders will be right at home with. If you want more integrations though, you’ll have to upgrade to a paid plan which is what I did as I really wanted my digital dashboard to be shown in portrait mode without having to change any settings on the monitor itself. I was also able to add an RSS feed showing all the latest stories from Tom’s Guide (you can find it at the top of the homepage next to the social icons) to the bottom of my DAKboard screen. Even with the free plan, there are still a lot of tweaks you can make to its appearance and there are integrations for a variety of photo hosting sites like Flickr and Apple Photos and you can add your Google Calendar.
