Smart Nursery Tech Safety Checklist

Connected nursery gear is only as safe as its installation and its account. Run this list once at setup and again if you move the cot.

Cords stay three feet from the cot

Every camera and monitor cable should be mounted, clipped and well out of reach. This is the single most important item on this page.

Secure the account, not just the camera

Use a unique password and switch on two-factor authentication. Update firmware when prompted, and remove old shared access after guests or sitters.

Keep the room in range

A nursery thermometer takes the guesswork out of layering. Aim for a steady, moderate room temperature and dress baby accordingly.

Remember what these devices are

Consumer monitors are not medical devices and do not prevent SIDS. Follow your paediatrician's safe sleep guidance first.
