![]() You can also use the app to track your baby’s sleep patterns, play and save video clips, and far more. In addition, the Nanit Pro app has an important, but shockingly rare, feature: an always-on audio feed, which allows you to hear the audio from your baby’s room even if you leave the app. The monitor is equipped with the basic security measures we like to see on smart devices of this nature (that is, the video is encrypted in transit, and the app requires two-factor authentication). The 1080p video stream, captured through a wide-angle lens, looks and sounds ultra-crisp on a smartphone, which serves as the screen-there’s no additional display unit. The Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor and Wall Mount and Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor and Floor Stand (same monitor, different mounting systems) is a Wi-Fi video monitor, so unlike our local-video picks, it allows you to monitor your baby remotely-when you’re at work, traveling, or anywhere else you can get a Wi-Fi connection. If you want to be able to look in on your little one while you’re out, you need a Wi-Fi–enabled monitor. But you can’t check this type of monitor when you’re away from home. Unfortunately, we’ve heard more complaints than we’d like about issues with Eufy-device batteries failing to hold a charge as they age, but so far we haven’t found another model that works as well and doesn’t have this problem.īaby monitors that rely on a local-video feed, such as these Eufy models and our runner-up from Infant Optics, may be a better fit for some people than Wi-Fi monitors because they’re generally simpler and easier to deal with, as there’s no internet connection to worry about, and they come with fewer security considerations. The Eufy SpaceView Pro has all the same features as the SpaceView but adds a bigger battery, which makes the display unit bulkier but lasts over 13 hours per charge with the screen on versus the SpaceView’s 8-plus hours. And it recharges on a standard Micro-USB plug. The monitor’s 5-inch screen is big enough to see comfortably and has easy-to-use controls for adjusting temperature and sound alerts. They also have more sophisticated mix automation facilities, particularly when used in conjunction with hardware control surfaces.The star feature of the Eufy SpaceView is its 720p camera, which you can pan from side to side and tilt up and down remotely from the display unit-so you don’t need to tiptoe into the baby’s room to make camera adjustments. These applications’ track counts are limited only by hardware resources, and they all support surround mixing where Pro Tools 9 is stereo only. Even so, in some respects, it still lags behind its main competitors, Cubase, Sonar and Logic. These improvements mean Pro Tools on the PC is now ready to be taken seriously. It’s no longer tied to Avid (or its subsidiaries, Digidesign and M-Audio) hardware, with support for virtually any audio interface via the ASIO and Core Audio standards. ![]() However, it’s closer to Pro Tools HD with up to 96 audio tracks (at 48kHz fewer at higher sample rates) and 64 instrument tracks per project, plus plugin delay compensation. It runs on Mac OS X and Windows 7 and replaces Pro Tools LE. Pro Tools 9 addresses all these concerns. ![]() Another limitation we’ve never much liked is that other brands of audio interface can’t be used – the hardware effectively acts as a copy-protection device. Just as serious is the lack of plugin delay compensation, which means the latency introduced by plugins results in small timing errors. The prospect of having to spend £10,000 on a Mac and Pro Tools HD system to overcome these limitations isn’t particularly tempting. Pro Tools LE projects are limited to 48 tracks and 32 internal mix busses – plenty for most projects, but not all. ![]()
