Overview
Strapping the owl-shaped camera to a rear headrest puts the back seat on the car's CarPlay screen. The kit also includes an adapter that turns factory wired CarPlay into wireless, and plugging that adapter into the car's USB port brings up the camera feed.
Putting the baby on the dashboard screen replaces the rear-view mirror and lets solo drivers glance without turning around. The wide view and swivel mount cover a rear-facing seat or more than one child. Everything depends on the car: without wired CarPlay there is no camera feed.
Who it's for
Parents who drive alone with a baby in a rear-facing seat and already use wired CarPlay with an iPhone get a live view on the dash. Android Auto drivers and cars with built-in wireless CarPlay are left out.
Pros and cons
- Live view on the car's own screen
- Adds wireless CarPlay to wired systems
- Invisible infrared night vision
- Wide view covers the whole back seat
- IPhone and wired CarPlay cars only
- No Android Auto support
- Recording not mentioned in the listing
- Occupies a vehicle USB port
Performance notes
Night images rely on invisible infrared light, and a light sensor switches between day and night modes on its own, so the baby is not woken by a glow. The feed travels through the CarPlay adapter in the USB port, so a stable picture depends on that port and on the iPhone link.
