What is Subscription Required?
Indicates if a paid monthly or annual subscription is needed to access certain monitor features.
Definition
Some advanced baby monitors require a subscription to unlock features like cloud video storage, advanced analytics (e.g., detailed sleep tracking, cry analysis history), or additional lullabies and white noise. Basic monitoring functionality typically works without a subscription.
Why It Matters
Impacts the total cost of ownership. Understanding if a subscription is required helps you budget for ongoing expenses beyond the initial purchase price and ensures you have access to desired features.
What to Look For
Monitors with no subscription required offer full functionality out-of-the-box.
