Owlet is known for its innovation capabilities and mission to help infants and parents with technological solutions to increase health and safety at home. Completely in line with these ambitions and goals, the Owlet Cam 2 is now being launched, which is not just a camera or monitor, but so much more!
What is the difference between Owlet Cam 1 and Cam 2?
Overall, they are similar but Cam 2 is packed with new features that have been requested by users who used Cam 1. To begin with, the design has been updated and now you can choose between two colors. All to ensure it blends well into your nursery. Cam 2 records video clips in conjunction with sound, movement, and crying while Cam 1 only notifies you of sound or movement from your baby's room. The cry sensor and video clips provide a whole new dimension for you as a user because you now have the opportunity to see your child's subtle signals before they started crying. Another new feature is that you can read the humidity of the nursery, and of course, you can also see the child's temperature, a function already offered in Cam 1.

A baby makes surprisingly much noise when sleeping. It is often sounds that do not mean much and can be ignored. The new cry sensor in Cam 2 can therefore distinguish between a baby's grumbling, farts, and small noises to alert you only when the child needs you. By filtering out the sounds that you do not need to react to, you can get back those extra moments of sleep. You can feel secure knowing that Owlet will notify you when your child needs your support. If you feel that you are getting too many notifications, or too few, based on your child's personal needs, you can adjust the app's sensitivity to match your needs.

Crying is not the only way babies communicate with us; they use many different signals to make contact. When your baby is in the other room, you might miss these signals that tell what they need, so when they start crying, it's not entirely clear why they are crying! But with Cam 2's video clips, you have the advantage of being able to see what your baby was doing just before they started crying. Were they chewing on their hands and smacking their little lips? Then your baby might be hungry!
Babies are, as mentioned, notorious for being noisy sleepers. They can even cry in their sleep. By watching video clips that show what happens just before the baby starts crying, you can avoid waking a sleeping baby unnecessarily, who isn't actually alarming. Owlet Cam 2 saves all video clips for 7 days so remember to download and preserve the clips you don't want to miss, like the first smile or laugh.
