The video and sound of the Cubo Ai Plus hold their own against other similarly priced monitors, and the app is useful enough, except for watching back video moments from overnight. The sweetness of the Cubo Ai PlusвЂ™ bird design cannot be denied, and the usefulness of its main alert settings could really be of use to families - particularly those that use side crib sleepers or chuck all their perfectly designed nursery dreams in favor of co-sleeping. Baby monitor apps really ought to be smart enough when youвЂ™re close enough to the monitor itself to disturb sleep with gratuitous screen-lighting push notifications. IвЂ™ve had this experience with other Wi-Fi monitor apps too, and had previously switched over to having one dedicated old phone as a baby monitor for the living room to keep it out of the bedrooms altogether when at home. I cursed myself the night I accidentally brought my phone into the room, as danger alerts set off the app and lit up the screen every few minutes while I tried desperately to bounce my kiddo back to sleep at 3 a.m. When in the crib, Cubo Ai PlusвЂ™ Danger Zone setting does not differentiate between a baby being in the zone and a caregiver visit. Our travel crib was half covered by a blackout wrap with the top open, far above my sleeping baby, but the alerts for covered face came in constantly. The alerts can be helpful, but they arenвЂ™t foolproof.

YouвЂ™ll find that alerts are more accurate when you set up a crib detection zone by drawing a square within the Cubo app that covers the mattress, from crib rail to crib rail. Roll over, face covering and zone alerts will grow as your baby does, and those first two alerts are really critical for peace of mind in those early newborn days. Other Cubo Ai Plus alerts are easy to turn on and off and personalize in the app. The Nanit Plus baby monitor packages those moments with the overnight summary with those key video clips, which IвЂ™ve found useful if you want to see what your baby does as he puts himself back to sleep, versus how he acts when parental intervention is needed. But itвЂ™d have to be a pretty intense moment to make me dig for it in this way.

Those moments do still exist, but must be found the more difficult way - by first going full screen on the main livestream of the crib, then scrolling back through the video feed along the bottom roll to approximately the time you think something occurred You then fast-forward in 15 second increments until you find that specific moment.Д¬ubo stores up to 18 hours of video playback in this way, which are available for viewing here. In a surprising move for a video monitor, the summary lacks video clips for key moments. CuboвЂ™s live view can also be used with Google Nest Hub and Alexa Echo Show.ДЄbout those sleep analytics: Cubo touts its sleep analytics AI for helping see patterns of each eveningвЂ™s sleep, and thatвЂ™s what let me down the most in my Cubo Ai Plus review.

You can save moments captured by the camera and display under the monitorвЂ™s live view, but only downloaded with a premium subscription, which is free for the first year or use with the Cubo Ai Plus. The picture is clear enough so that you can zoom in to see whether that little nose of your babyвЂ™s is clear of the mattress.

The 1080p HD night vision captured by the Cubo Ai Plus seems somewhat fuzzy but reasonably clear on my smartphone screen. Cubo Ai Plus review: Video and audio quality However, danger zone alerts still work fine in this configuration.

The trade-off with the latter option is that you wonвЂ™t get enough of the straight-down view thatвЂ™s needed for CuboвЂ™s excellent alerts for covered face or rolling over. Within days, the strap had gone loose and fallen to the bottom of the crib slat, rendering the floor stand wobbly once again, though the stand was admittedly harder for him to get to.ДЄfter all that I would recommend installing the wall mount version of the Cubo Ai Plus, or relying only on its mobile stand. In another instance, I moved the Cubo Ai Plus near my childвЂ™s large crib, using the provided Velcro strap to stabilize it alongside the wooden slats.
