You can also have the app notify you when the temperature in your child’s room falls outside a desired range. The motion and audio sensors can be adjusted independently or turned off altogether, and motion detection can be scheduled to be active only during certain hours. The app offers a few ways to manage event detection so you’re not bombarded with alerts every time your baby stirs. The lightshow option projects a celestial scene of planets, stars, spaceships, and a baby astronaut on the ceiling, and can be used independently or along with the night light. The parent unit also lets you choose from seven colors and three brightness levels. The night light provides a soft glow that’s meant to soothe your child to sleep, and it’s dim enough to prevent waking kids if you leave it on once they’re slumbering. If the camera is unplugged or if the parent unit otherwise loses connection to the camera, the unit beeps repeatedly to alert you. It also displays the current temperature in your child’s nursery, wireless signal strength, and the battery level of the unit. The parent unit provides a nice, clear picture, though with a slight purple color cast common to these types of baby monitors. You can view live video of your baby on the Halo+ parent unit or the Hubble companion app. The other buttons are for accessing and navigating the parent unit’s menu options, which include optical zoom, brightness settings, the lullaby selection, night-light controls, and multi-camera views. There’s a dedicated push-to-talk button and one for accessing sleep activity data (this requires a Hubble Connected subscription, which I explain below.). The parent unit’s display is flanked on either side by a row of buttons. Even the most sleep-deprived mom or dad should be able to complete this process in 20 to 30 minutes. Turn both devices on and you’ve got live video.

When the mount is in place, you just attach the camera to it and plug it in, then plug in the parent unit.
