A quieter kind of baby monitor.

No. Nonnanest communicates directly between the nursery camera and parent handheld using FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) encryption. No WiFi, no cloud, no internet dependency. Private by design, not by promise.

Every other device that tracks wellness insights requires your baby to wear a sock or ankle band. Nonnanest is the only monitor that senses skin temperature contactlessly — nothing touches your baby. We also don't require WiFi, don't need an app or phone, and have no subscriptions. We're built for parents who want skin temperature awareness without putting anything on their baby.

Surface skin temperature, from up to four feet away, with no wearable and nothing touching your baby. It also reads the room temperature, because the room affects the skin. Both show on the display.

We test every reading against a NIST-traceable blackbody calibration source, the same kind of reference used to check professional and medical infrared instruments. Nonnanest is calibrated to work within recommended ambient temperatures of 69–75°F and between 3 and 4 feet from baby, at a safe distance. While it works closer than 3 feet, pediatric guidance and our own guidance is to always maintain a 3-foot distance from baby.

Skin runs cooler than the inside of the body, and how much cooler depends on the room. That's normal, and it's true of every contactless thermometer, including the one at your pediatrician's office. What matters for you isn't the exact gap. It's that skin temp goes up when your baby warms up. That's the signal Nonnanest is built to catch.

Because they're measuring different things. Your thermometer reads inside. Nonnanest reads the surface. Neither one is wrong. If Nonnanest shows something elevated, that's your cue to reach for the thermometer, not a replacement for it.

Check your baby with a contact thermometer. SightAware is built to get your attention, not to answer the question. Because every baby's baseline is different, you set your own alert threshold on the handheld, typically 2 to 3°F above your baby's usual reading. If anything concerns you, call your pediatrician. That part never changes. Read the full guide to your readings →
