About Nanit
Is Nanit a medical device?
No. Nanit is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, monitor or prevent any medical condition, including SIDS. Always follow recommended safe sleep practices.
Is the Australian model different to the US or UK version?
The camera itself is identical to the global Nanit Pro. Australian units ship with an AU power adapter, a 1-year local warranty, and are supported directly by the Coolkidz Melbourne team on 1300 722 302.
Does Nanit work without Wi-Fi?
The camera keeps recording and working on your local network if the internet drops, so you can still see and hear your baby at home. Remote viewing, alerts and Nanit Insights resume once you reconnect.
Breathing motion monitoring
How does Nanit track breathing without touching my baby?
The camera reads the pattern on Nanit Breathing Wear, a swaddle, sleeping bag or pyjama with a printed pattern on the front. Nothing is worn on the body and no sensors touch your baby.
Do I need to buy Breathing Wear separately?
Yes, breathing motion monitoring needs at least one piece of compatible Breathing Wear. Most complete Nanit systems include one to start, and you can buy more sizes as your baby grows.
What is the difference between Nanit and a wearable sock monitor?
Wearable monitors clip a sensor to your baby's foot to estimate heart rate and oxygen. Nanit instead reads breathing motion from above using the camera and Breathing Wear pattern, with nothing attached to your baby's body.
Nanit Insights & the app
Does Nanit need a subscription to work?
No. Live HD video, two-way audio, breathing motion monitoring and instant alerts all work without a plan. Nanit Insights adds sleep analytics, extended video history and personalised guidance, and is included free with every camera for the first 3 months.
What happens after my 3 months of Nanit Insights ends?
The camera, live view, alerts and breathing motion monitoring keep working exactly as before. You can choose to continue Nanit Insights on a paid plan to keep sleep analytics and extended video history, or continue using the core features at no extra cost.
What does NextNap do?
NextNap predicts your baby's next nap window from their own sleep data, instead of a generic age-based schedule. It needs an active Nanit Insights plan and a compatible camera.
Can more than one person use the app?
Yes. You can invite other caregivers, such as a partner, grandparent or nanny, to your Parenting Team so everyone can view the camera and, on higher Insights plans, see sleep and care history.
Can Nanit Pro play soothing sounds?
Yes. Nanit Pro can play four built-in sounds, birds, white noise, wind and waves, through the camera speaker. Set a timer for 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or leave it running continuously, all from the Nanit app.
Setup & troubleshooting
Do I need to drill for the Wall Mount?
Yes, the Wall Mount fixes above the cot for the cleanest, most permanent view and needs two wall anchors. The Floor Stand and Flex Stand need no drilling at all.
Which setup do most Australian parents choose?
Pro + Floor Stand is the most chosen configuration: no drilling, works in a nursery or a rental, and moves with you if you rearrange the room.
My camera won't connect to Wi-Fi, what should I try first?
Confirm your home network is 2.4GHz (Nanit does not connect to 5GHz-only networks), move the camera within range of your router during setup, and restart both the camera and router before trying again. If it still won't connect, contact our support portal for step-by-step help.
Shipping & returns
How much does shipping cost?
Standard shipping is free on orders of $99 or more, and a flat $12.95 under that. Express shipping is a flat $15. We also ship to New Zealand for a flat $20.
How long does delivery take?
Orders dispatch from our Melbourne warehouse within 1 to 2 business days. From there, most capital cities receive their order in 1 to 3 business days; Perth typically takes 4 to 7 business days.
What is your returns policy?
You have 30 days from the date you receive your order to return it, provided it is unused and in its original packaging. Start a return through our support portal and we will confirm the next steps.
How do I start a warranty claim?
Every Nanit comes with a 1-year Australian warranty. Start a claim through our support portal or call our Melbourne team on 1300 722 302, and we will confirm whether a repair, replacement or refund applies.
