You can check out what I did around minute on this video review of the Miku smart baby monitor though be sure to make sure cords are kept at least 3 feet from your baby. One downside of doing a DIY mounting stand, aside from the whole DIY thing, is that you might end up with a longways view instead of a wide view.
Reps from Miku have reached out to us and let us know that upgrades are coming, including a pinch to zoom feature, so this issue might be resolved as soon as the next app upgrade. The next most important factor is the quality of the image that you see. The Miku smart baby monitor has an HD imaging at p, which is pretty standard for the new crop of wifi video baby monitors.
In testing, we found Miku image quality to be strong, but, particularly in the dark with night vision turned on, not as good as Nanit Plus. Sure, you need to be able to see your baby, but do you really need crystal clear imaging? Hearing your baby and being able to speak to your baby might be more important to you than being able to see your baby in high definition. One issue we have with the Miku baby monitor is that the two-way communication feature has a second timer.
As I mention in my video review, this can make it really hard to get through my power ballads as I lull my son back to sleep. The camera also has a white noise option. At this point in time, the Miku app only works on smartphones.
According to Miku, upgrades are in the works in the future that will allow you to use the Miku app from a tablet or laptop. The app has a lot of features and can be overwhelming. The analytics tab in the app actually gives me anxiety. Sound output on the monitor. Miku has two high tech speakers, so any sound that comes out of it sounds really good.
Your baby will be able to hear you loud and clear, and your voice will sound natural instead of tinny, like with other monitors. The Miku baby monitor has bit encryption, which puts it on par with other high-end monitors like the Nanit plus. The same is true for the Nanit if you buy the complete system. The view from the Miku Pro can only be see through the Android or iOS app on a compatible phone or tablet.
You'll save money with these, but they lack the advanced features you get with the Miku and Nanit models. Just like the previous version, the Miku Pro records p video at 30fps. There's a slight increase in the field of view from to degrees. The real upgrade is inside, where the chipset has been upgraded to a Qualcomm Snapdragon and an eight-core ARM Cortex-A53, as well as a crypto chip to keep the data stream encrypted in case someone tries to snoop.
These power what Miku calls SensorFusion technology, a bit of branding for all the algorithms and sensors for motion, audio, and light. The Miku Pro has new dual Ole Wolff speakers on either side of the power button, and dual microphones on the camera's face.
You'll also find all the typical smart monitor features, including two-way audio, temperature and humidity readouts, automatic night vision, background audio even if your phone app is in standby mode , and lullabies and white noise options.
The connection to your home network is via Wi-Fi, with both 2. The Miku Pro, like the Nanit, has a nice direct-streaming feature that will still send video to your phone even if your internet connection goes down, as long as the baby monitor camera and the phone are on the same Wi-Fi network.
The big selling point of the Miku Pro is a constant report that uses motion sensors to track your sleeping child's respirations per minute RPM. Unlike the Nanit, the Miku Pro delivers this information without any special clothing. Nanit expects you to swaddle or wrap kids in special bands or pajamas that sport a pattern recognized by the camera; the cost of these add-ons drives up your investment in the camera ecosystem in way you don't have with the Miku.
If asleep, it will show their current RPMs and breathing pattern. Along the bottom of the screen are buttons labeled Monitor, Analytics, Activity, and Settings. The first one takes you back to the screen just described. A Daily Snapshots button allows you to dive deeper via color-coded graphs detailing their breathing patterns and activities, which you can break down by minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, hour, and hour increments. Historical data for temperature and humidity can be viewed similarly.
The Activity button takes you to a chronology of recorded activity. These can be sorted to view by type—movement, non-movement, sound, and so on—or viewed all together. Clicking on any entry opens the video that captured that activity. Finally, the Settings screen is where you can turn on and off features such as vitals tracking, night vision, and the device LED, as well as adjust the video quality and share the Miku with other users. For the most part, the Miku performed very well. Motion and sound alerts were timely, and the event-triggered video recording performed flawlessly.
