Miku Pro Baby Monitor Review

preview

Skip to contentMiku recently became aware of an issue with some of their&nbsp;Miku Pro&nbsp;monitors, which stopped working unexpectedly. After investigation, they traced the cause to a Nov. 15, 2022 firmware update. Miku has stopped selling additional monitors to address the issue. If your monitor was impacted, they will replace for free. Click here to learn more.If you are looking for a dedicated non-WiFi monitor, we recommend the Infant Optics DXR-8 Pro. If you are looking for a WiFi baby monitor we recommend the Nanit Pro.The Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor is a premium monitor that, like its predecessor the original Miku smart baby monitor, addresses a lot of the concerns we have with other monitors on the market in terms of safety and privacy.There is a lot to love with both Miku monitors, including the fact that you can keep an eye on your baby’s breathing patterns&nbsp;without having to place additional electronics on their body.In addition, the Miku monitors are the only WiFi baby monitors that we tested that are able to process data locally. This means that your baby’s information doesn’t have to be streamed over the Internet to a server before getting back to your phone.&nbsp;Greatly improving both privacy and speed.The Miku Pro monitor expands upon its predecessors abilities with higher quality audio, better range and an improved battery life.By tracking your baby’s sleep quality, together with data on their environment, such as room temperature and humidity, the Miku Pro monitor can help you understand your baby’s sleeping patterns to create an ideal sleep environment.The Miku Pro takes baby monitoring to a whole new level with its sleek design and intelligent features. With its intuitive user interface, you can easily keep an eye on your baby at all times – even when you’re not in the same room! It just works out of the box without too many extra wires or sensors. Miku requires WiFi connectivity to send you alerts, notifications, and other important messages; however, Miku’s core functions process locally and will continue to collect data for a short time. That data will be accessible when WiFi connection is re-established (read more from Miku).After reading the story behind Miku’s founder’s decision to design a smart baby monitor, I got really excited! He worked as an engineer for the Department of Defense, developing sensors and camera equipment, and decided to create a baby monitor after having a baby.But the Miku Pro monitor is against serious competition from the&nbsp;Nanit Pro, the&nbsp;Owlet Smart Sock + Cam and the&nbsp;Lollipop&nbsp;camera. They are all smart WiFi monitors that can help you improve your baby’s sleep quality.

The new generation of WiFi video monitors uses advanced machine learning to go way beyond what baby monitors used to do. The smart monitors will, of course, help you keep an eye on your baby and alert you if they are awake.But they will also track their health, breathing patterns, and heartbeat. Some even send you insights and reports in the morning to see your baby’s sleep quality through the night and offer tips and suggestions to improve it.Miku is a leader in the new generation of smart baby monitors.It’s up against strong competition though. The&nbsp;Nanit Pro&nbsp;is one of the best-selling baby monitors online. The&nbsp;Owlet Smart Sock + Cam&nbsp;was one of the first to enter the market with a smart sock and keeps on improving its product. More recently,&nbsp;Cubo AI&nbsp;launched a new smart monitor with a high-end camera and beautiful design.To set itself apart, the team behind Miku came up with an excellent idea and a flawless execution.Miku Pro is indeed the first baby monitor capable of&nbsp;tracking your baby’s breathing patterns just using its camera. With their patented innovative technology, the Miku Pro camera can measure breathing through your baby’s clothes and even through a blanket.And it works!I tested the Miku Pro camera in different situations, and it was always able to pick up my baby’s breathing accurately. Even through thick pajamas.The Miku app immediately alerts you if something goes wrong so you can go check on your baby.Cases of sudden death syndrome (SDS) in infants are rare and you shouldn’t be overly worried if your baby’s pediatrician hasn’t expressed any concern. But when there is a risk, it is absolutely critical to react fast to prevent serious complications.In my tests,&nbsp;Miku Pro is the fastest monitor to alert you if there is a breathing issue.And even better, Miku Pro is able to do that in a non-intrusive manner. You don’t need to attach a breathing tracker on your baby’s body.&nbsp;I absolutely love that Miku is the first monitor that lets you minimize EMF exposure while still being able to track your baby’s breathing.I like the idea of minimizing the number of tech devices and electromagnetic radiation that my kids are exposed to through the day, and one simple way to limit EMF exposure is to keep tech gadgets at a safe distance from your baby.The sound and video quality are excellent with the Miku Pro. You get a crisp 1080p high-resolution picture quality on your phone.I really like the microphone quality of the baby camera as well. Miku Pro partnered with Ole Wolff to include a dual speaker at the top of the camera. The result is a clean and clear sound if you want to speak to your baby through the camera or play white noise.For best results, you should install the Miku camera above your baby’s bed. That will ensure accurate breathing tracking. That’s not always possible, however, so Miku also sells a separate floor stand on their website.In short, everything works as you might expect. The app is clean and easy to navigate. You can see your baby’s breathing directly on the main screen too.Fortunately, my baby hasn’t had any breathing issues since we installed the camera. But as a result, I can’t show you what an alert might look like at this point.Security is another area where Miku Pro shines. The camera is using an AES 256 bit encryption when transmitting video and sound, like most of the other&nbsp;WiFi baby monitors&nbsp;that we reviewed.The camera also comes with a tamper-proof chip in the device that protects your monitor’s data processing and critical security functions. If someone tries to hack the video signal, Miku will immediately reset all the keys and erase the data.Because the Miku Pro baby monitor uses your existing WiFi network to stream its audio and video signals, it reduces the total number of electromagnetic exposure to your baby. Which is a good thing, of course.Baby monitors that use FHSS or DECT signals need to emit their own radio signals on top of your WiFi connection, which might rapidly exceed the Environmental Protection Agency’s recommendation. Read our article on&nbsp;electromagnetic field&nbsp;if you want to understand what it means in terms of health and safety for your baby.Miku is FCC Certified, meaning that its electromagnetic interference is kept under limits approved by the Federal Communications Commission.Wondering what’s in the box? Here’s everything that will be included:You can download the Miku mobile app on the&nbsp;iOS App Store&nbsp;and&nbsp;Android Play Store.You can buy the Miku Pro monitor directly from Amazon (check current price).
