I am a first time parent of our (now 2-month-old) baby. We wanted to have the baby from the start, be in her own room and in the crib. As such, up until recently we have been using a Vtech video monitor. Our baby though developed some gas issues and would spit up and fuss through the night. With the old monitor we were not able to tell if the baby was awake and actively spitting up or it was just normal spit up while sleeping. We would not know when to actually go to the baby vs let the baby sleep. Once we got the Miku, it was clear what was happening with our baby and when we needed to take action as it monitors vitals and sleeping without any additional attachments. The other options required strapping devices on our baby and we did not want to do that.Packaging, Setup and Access.When we got the Miku, it came and in very beautiful packaging and arrived quickly. They provided everything, the level, screwdriver, even a tape measure! Items were clearly marked and the set up was extremely easy. The device and the app instructions are easy to follow. Putting the Miku on the wall, registering, providing access and connecting to wifi took no more than 10 min. We just had to shut off and turn on the system once after set up for it to recognize our wifi. So if you are having trouble connecting to your home wifi, just turn the Miku on and off and it will find your wifi.You control access to the app and can at any time to check on our baby regardless of where you are via your phone. Whether you are in your house, working in the yard, at the office, or on vacation, you can see what’s going on. We have never had any connection issues. I also like the fact that, even when the app is running in the background, you can still have the audio playing through your phone speaker with no impact.Features:The Miku monitor has lots of great features including, very clear two way talk as well as the ability to take pictures with no delay, which I haven’t seen in most monitors. However, being able to see your baby is breathing “at a glance” makes this system amazing. I love knowing that I will be alerted IF anything happens during her sleep. The night vision and respiratory monitor helped us assure that she is sleeping safely. Another pro is the ability to review sleep analytics night after night. As we move to sleep training her, we can see this will be a great help.The monitor continuously updates the room's temperature and humidity, making sure she is sleeping comfortably. I also love the music option which has both lullaby’s as well as sounds preloaded. I can only imagine that this product will continue to improve on and add more music or build feature that allow you to load your own music to play. With this feature, there is no need for an additional sound machine and the quality fo the sound is really great. You have the option of having any of the sounds on for 15-30 min and then on repeat. I had it on the whole night. It was great.Being a first time parents comes with a lot of learning and adjustments, but the Miku has helped us so much and eased our minds. I’m looking forward to seeing what new and exciting features will continue to be added to this amazing monitor.

We have used several baby monitors - Cooncam, Nanit, Miku, Owlet. We used owlet to track our daughter's breathing during the night for peace of mind. Since she has now outgrown the foot monitor we were looking at a monitor that did breathing monitoring to retain that peace of mind.Upon finding Miku it looked great. Installation was almost identical to a Nanit cam, simple.Fast forward to actually using the camera. Nothing but issues that seem to stem from the Android app itself, not the camera. I do not know if it is better on iOS but the Android app is full of bugs:- The sound will turn off after about 3 minutes if you app is not open on the screen (screen timed out or turned off or if you are in another app, background noise does not stay working)- The camera has a built in LED light on it, very bright and interruptive to a baby sleeping. In the camera's settings in the app you can turn it off, great. Unfortunately EVERY time you launch the app, the LED light turns back on so you need to jump into the settings and quickly turn it back off, EVERY TIME.- The notifications are just about useless. We receive a notification about 10-15 minutes AFTER it happened (sound detected, baby awake, etc.)- The app logs you out almost everyday.. why?- *** WORST ONE ***: the app will close itself, randomly (even if your phone is plugged in). This happened numerous times through the night where the app just decided to close itself completely. When using this as a sound baby monitor to know if your baby has woken up in the middle of the night and have 0 audio because the app closed makes this camera completely unreliable and useless.All of these issues were reported to Miku who requested log after log, and went back and forth for about a month. They identified the issues and stated they would be addressed in a "future release" of the software. So until then we've been stuck with a non-functioning device.We will be going back to Nanit - the camera was identical in quality and the app had 0 issues while providing all of the same functions minus the breathing monitor.(Multiple phones - Pixel 3, Pixel 3a, Oneplus 5, etc. all factory reset, fresh for testing, same occurrences)

After searching and reading through the multitude of reviews on forums, Amazon, and the likes, the Miku Smart Baby Monitor kept coming up when we were on our search for the best baby monitor. We decided to make the purchase after our first newborn came, and there's not a single regret. This baby monitor is absolutely amazing!First - the packaging: Pristine, with the aesthetics similar to opening up a brand new Apple product. The package includes EVERYTHING (which is not a lot) to get up and going. Also, a bonus - they include a small wooden pencil. I've never seen that before, and I thought it was cool. Again, you don't need ANYTHING else apart from what they included in the box to mount this.After the physical mounting of the baby monitor, the installation and the initial setup of the App was as straightforward as can be. ANYONE can set up and use this monitor and app, and that's what I love. Miku makes everything as simple, yet sophisticated, as can be.I'm not sure how it works, but the Miku accurately monitors your baby's breathing and sleeping habits. The app is sensitive to noise (not too sensitive), so you're notified when your baby is awake from his/her nap. HD quality is a bonus.We received a different baby monitor from our baby shower, and the Miku baby monitor stands far above it in comparison.My recommendation? Spend the money with Miku and make sure that your child is sleeping safe and well with no concern. We've had no issues thus far, and the sleek design will look good in any room. Five star purchase.

I’ve been using this monitor on my newborn for just over two weeks. So far, I love it!The monitor’s packaging was amazing. It came with everything needed for a simple install.... measuring tape, screw driver, drywall plugs, etc. Install took less than 10 minutes and looks sleek.The app was easy to download and create a username. I like that you have to physically connect to the monitor to use the app to avoid hackers gaining access to the camera stream.Operationally, the monitor works great. It monitors respiration’s, tells me when babe is awake, tells me when babe is moving and analyzes sleep patterns.I contacted customer service when I wasn’t getting alters for no movement after removing the baby from the crib. They promptly responded to me and informed me that a no movement “alert” will only be generated if baby goes from a sleeping state to no respiration, without movement. This prevents false alarms when parents take baby from the crib. I love it!Video quality is great. Sound quality great. Ability to save video clips or take still shots in the app.All in all... worth every penny!

The camera doesn’t work on 3G so you can’t see your baby if you are outside the house at work or other which defies the point of buying this camera. Miku support simply doesn’t respond to confirm if it’s a glitch and whether it can be fixed.

Our baby hasn't even arrived yet and we've already fallen in love with this device. The packaging, aesthetics, and how they've thought about everything; down to having a branded pencil and measuring tape makes for a functional product and stress-free experience... Which is all you want as a soon-to-be parent. This is an essential for first time parents.Thank you Miku!! We can't wait to use it properly when our baby girl arrives.

As many parents we bought this and install it before the baby was born. The APP and the camera are EXTREMELY glitchy. Once you notice, it's too late to return it. We are extremely angry at ourselves to have wasted this much money. We trusted the wrong reviews. Once you're aware of the glitches you supplement the anxiety for the baby to the stress the MIku could stop working anytime, without notice, or that what is reporting is incorrect information.Major issues:1) Continuous issues with connectivity between APP and camera. It's just doesn't connect at all or loses connectivity while watching. Note that I'm extremely skilled at networks and our house has a brand new mesh network with total coverage. When you contact MIku support they initially always tell you it's you network, and dig deeper only when, like in my case, you show reports of signal strengths.2) The APP reports false breathing very easily. Essentially, if you have a bathroom fan near your room, a AC, a fresh air, and intake, whatever can be mistaken by the Miku as a breathing human. They swear that when a baby is actually in the crib the Miku measures that but that is not entirely correct. Countless times we removed the baby and the Miku happily picked up another breathing from no idea where. This means that the Miku does NOT sound an alarm when it should. What's the point of buying the breathing monitor?3) Contrary to alternative products on the market, this wifi camera will NOT connect with your APP is there's no internet connection. Or, if it does, it never happened to us. This means that is you live in area where for any reason there's an internet outage, you won't know it stops monitoring (unless you read your phone notifications when you sleep and your phone is not on wifi). This is extremely frustrating and dangerous.Other issues:4) Several times the temperature displayed in my APP (Android) and my wife (Iphone) are different temperatures. Also, the temperature picks up as the camera is use as it generates heat. It's a joke.5) I cannot prove this as I don't have testing equipment, but if there's an internet outage the MIku seem to spam the router at high rate, there appear to be something really wrong or unpolished with their wifi/network module.My recommendation: do NOT buy, save your money to buy a good alternative. And by the way, beware of all online reviews that finger let you post comments. There's videos on YouTube that can't be trusted.

I have been through a few baby monitors and this one really is the genius of all monitors. The image quality is excellent, even the night vision which in most other monitors I’ve found to be poor quality. It has so many great features such as the ability to track baby’s breathing and movement patterns which has been very helpful for us. It has wifi technology which means it connects right to our smartphones which is very convenient. I highly recommend this monitor!
