Owlet Dream Sight is the cheapest way into a smart baby camera on this list, at $99.99 when we checked. It streams 2K HD video with night vision through a 130 degree wide-angle lens, detects motion, sound and crying, and saves clips in the Owlet Dream App when it alerts you. Two-way talk, 4x digital zoom and room temperature and humidity sensors round out the basics. Owlet states 256-bit encryption with elliptic curve authentication and an SGS Cybersecurity Mark, and the box includes a wall mounting kit and ASTM-certified cable guards. The limits are what you would expect at this price. There is no parent screen, so a phone or tablet does the monitoring, there is no breathing tracking unless you add the Dream Sock, and white noise streaming needs an Owlet360 subscription. For parents who want a good camera and plan to upgrade later, it is easy value. We compared documented features and published prices.
