“We've only had our nonnanest for 2 weeks but we love it already. It was super easy to set up. We used the wall mount as our son is moving around. We really bought this because of the skin temp feature. So far so good but we've found the skin temp to be accurate.”

“It is an absolute breeze to use. It operates without WiFi and you don't need to download an app to receive notifications — it's all available on the parent monitor. It's a pure “plug-and-play” experience.”

FHSS encrypted signal. No WiFi, no cloud, no app, no data leaves your home. Your nursery stays yours alone.
Dedicated 720p parent unit. No phone required, no app to update, no notifications competing for your attention.
$329 once. That's it. No monthly fees, no premium tiers, no features locked behind a paywall.
Most families use a baby monitor for about two and a half years. Most wellness monitors — the ones that sense something about your baby, rather than just showing you a picture — keep charging you for all of it. Here’s the whole two and a half years, priced on the cheapest plan each one offers. Most families end up paying more than this.

What you’ve spent, as your baby grows
Families use a baby monitor for about two and a half years — newborn through the toddler bed. So that’s the stretch we priced, instead of just the number on the checkout page.
For everything else in the wellness category we took what they cost today: around $390 for a camera and a parent screen, and then a plan. Plans come in tiers — about $9 a month at the bottom, $25 or more at the top — and we used the cheapest one every time. We added the parts a baby outgrows and you buy again, gave every product the free trial it comes with, and rounded down. That comes to about $10 a month once the trial ends.
So the figures above are the friendliest version of the other side. Pick a bigger plan, as plenty of families do, and the gap widens from here.
Nonnanest is $329, once. There’s no plan to pick and nothing to replace — the sensing is contactless, so there’s nothing your baby wears and nothing to outgrow.
We’ve kept these figures general on purpose. Prices and plans move around; the shape of the curve doesn’t. Checked September 2026.

The feature that started it all. Infrared sensing reads your baby's skin temperature from up to 4 feet away and shows it right on the parent display, with a gentle alert when readings shift. Nothing worn, nothing touching your baby.
Invisible infrared lighting — no harsh LEDs, no visible glow. A totally dark room with crystal clear monitoring.
Speak to your baby from anywhere in the house. Soothe them with your voice before getting out of bed.
The screen sleeps until your baby stirs. Saves battery and keeps your room dark — you'll only be woken when it matters.
Select from soothing built-in lullabies and play them directly through the camera's speaker in the nursery.
Full room coverage from a single camera. Remotely adjust the angle from the parent display.
Ambient sensor monitors nursery climate alongside baby's skin temp. Both readings visible at a glance on the display.
Flexible crib mount for newborns plus a wall mount bracket for when they grow. Both included in the box.
Patent pending · FHSS encrypted closed network
No. Nonnanest never connects to your WiFi network or to the internet. The camera talks directly to the 5-inch handheld parent unit over a closed FHSS signal, so it keeps working during an internet outage and nothing leaves your home.
No app and no subscription. There’s no account to create and nothing to download — everything you see and hear is on the dedicated parent display. Every feature is included in the one-time $329 purchase, with no monthly fees or paid tiers.
No. Nonnanest reads skin temperature only. It does not measure core body temperature, and it is not a thermometer. What it shows you is skin temperature trends and changes over time, for comfort awareness.
Up to 4 ft. The infrared sensor reads your baby’s skin temperature contactlessly from up to four feet away, which covers a standard crib setup with either the flexible crib mount or the wall mount bracket.
The infrared HD camera with skin temperature sensing, the 5-inch HD parent display, a 20-inch flexible crib mount, a wall mount bracket, the power adaptor and charging cable, and a quick start guide.
Nonnanest is a wellness device, not a medical device, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.
