Baby monitors have come a long way since we first started including them on our MUST-HAVE baby registry lists 20 years ago. Now, smart features, such as crying alerts and face-covering alerts, are incredibly important for parents to look for in when shopping for the right monitor for their families. However, most smart monitors require a WiFi connection, which isn’t always convenient to set up, and parents often feel that connecting to WiFi is not very secure. Therefore, a monitor that supports both smart features and can function without a WiFi connection becomes extremely important.
Today, I want to introduce you to the Ellie Baby Plus, a brand new video monitor that has some fantastic features for both parent and baby.
We introduced you to the Ellie Baby Pro monitor a few months ago, but this is a new non-WiFi version that includes a parent unit (with all the same great AI features!) but still works with the Ellie app if you want to also use your smart phone. Yes, this baby monitor supports both non-wifi and wifi use.
The Ellie Baby Plus comes with an easy-to-hold parent unit with a 5″ HD LCD screen and an adorable camera that gives a great, clear image. Let’s start with the parent unit.
ELLIE BABY PLUS NON-WIFI PARENT UNIT
I love that you can completely control the camera with your parent unit, find out the temperature or humidity of the nursery, talk to your baby, zoom in with 5x zoom and get a closer look or even rotate the camera 360 degrees to get a different view in the room.
Sure, those are standard features on most baby monitors these days but the Ellie Baby Plus takes it a step further with the company’s exclusive Baby Safety AI™ tech such as covered face & roll over detection, breathing detection & sleeping quality report, danger zone detection, cry detection, auto-smoothing, person tracking, and auto photo capture. NOTE: The parent unit is not a touch screen but is controlled with the buttons on the side of the screen.
ELLIE BABY PLUS CAMERA
The 2.5K QHD camera offers up to 5x zoom, large angle rotation, 360° room view, 5MP infrared night vision and automatic person tracking. We think it provides an amazing view of your baby’s activities directly to your parent unit OR your smartphone or tablet.
Crib Mount
The Ellie Baby Plus comes with a handy crib mount that allows you to mount the camera safely to the crib for the best, closest picture.
Pan and Tilt Camera Functions
The camera provides 360-degree has pan and tilt features, so that you can adjust the viewing angle so that you can see everywhere in the crib or the room. We also like the monitor’s Follow Baby Technology, which can be set to automatically track your baby as they move around their crib or room. This feature is great in a playroom.
Danger Zone Detection
Given how quickly babies can move (or try to escape their cribs!), the Baby Plus includes a Danger Zone Detection feature that lets you set a virtual boundary on the screen, similar to a geofence. If your baby crosses that boundary, you’ll receive an alert on your parent unit or smartphone, depending on the device you’re using to monitor them.
Intelligent Alerts and Notifications
A key feature of the Ellie Smart Baby Plus is its advanced alert system. The camera has motion and sound sensors and can identify things like crying or movement. It’s crazy how smart the camera is but that is AI for ya! You’ll get immediate notifications on your handheld device, keeping you updated on your baby’s movements, cries, or any sounds that may need your attention. Remember, all these smart AI features are supported on the NON-Wi-Fi parent unit, so that you have 100% privacy but you still have access from the Ellie app on your smartphone or tablet.
Cry Detection Feature
This baby monitor is smart. AI smart. The Ellie Baby Plus can differentiate crying from other loud noises and will start playing one of the five pre-loaded lullabies to soothe them. This feature can be turned off or on depending on your preference. This proactive approach to monitoring provides parents with peace of mind, knowing they’ll be alerted to any potential issues, day or night.
Ellie Monitor Storage
The Ellie Baby Plus monitor stores video data locally on the included SD cards in the parent unit and camera for enhanced security and preventing any cloud uploads.
Smart Device Connection
While we love that the monitor works with the parent unit, we know some parents want to use their smart device (phone or tablet) with their monitor. Good thing that the Ellie Baby Plus Non-WiFi monitor does that as well! By downloading the Ellie app, it’s easy to connect your smart device to the camera for remote viewing. It’s the best of both worlds – parent unit AND smart device connection capability!
Ellie Baby Plus NON-WIFI Video Review
The Ellie Smart Baby Plus Baby Monitor is a great option for parents looking for a baby monitor to keep an eye on their little ones with the choice of monitoring with a parent unit OR smart device. WiFi or non-Wifi – it’s your choice with this monitor!
Thanks to its smart AI, alert system, and the option to use it with or without Wi-Fi, this monitor is super convenient for parents. While it already has a lot going for it, we wish it had a nightlight and a touchscreen parent unit. Those aren’t deal breakers, though. The Ellie Smart Baby Plus is still a top choice among baby monitors, offering all the smart features you need to stay connected and keep your baby safe.
