Removing Nanit Camera: Detaching From Wall Mounts Easily

The Nanit camera is a smart baby monitor with a high definition camera (1080p HD) that can be mounted on a wall or placed on a floor stand. The wall mount provides a bird's-eye view of the baby's crib and safe cable management. To remove the Nanit camera from the wall mount, the owner of the camera must first detach it from their Nanit account through the Nanit app. Then, they can physically remove the camera from the wall mount by pressing the button on the top of the floor stand and carefully lifting the camera off.

Removing the camera from the wall mount

To remove the Nanit camera from the wall mount, you will first need to detach the camera from your Nanit account. This can be done through the Nanit app.

Detaching the Camera from Your Nanit Account

• Tap the side menu in the Nanit app.
• If you have more than one Nanit camera, tap the camera you'd like to remove from your account.
• Choose your baby's settings.
• If you're the owner of the camera, the word "Owner" will be displayed next to your name on the Parenting team list.
• To detach the camera, tap the side menu in the Nanit app again.
• Tap the camera you'd like to remove.
• Choose your baby's settings.
• Scroll until you reach Advanced settings.
• If you're the owner, you'll see the option to "Detach camera". Tap on it.
• Approve the confirmation message.
• To complete the process, restart the Nanit app on all connected devices and reset your camera by following the instructions provided by Nanit.
• Press the button on the top of the floor stand and carefully remove the camera.
• Check the orientation of the plugs on the bottom of the camera and the top of the Multi-Stand.
• Carefully insert the camera into the Multi-Stand.

Note: The multi-stand does not provide the same bird's-eye view as the floor stand, so Nanit will not be able to detect when your child falls asleep, wakes up, or receives a visit. Additionally, you will not receive sleep summaries while using the multi-stand.

Using the Nanit app to detach the camera from your account

To detach the camera from your account using the Nanit app, follow these steps:

First, check if you are the owner of the camera. To do this, open the Nanit app and tap the side menu. If you have more than one Nanit camera, tap the camera you want to remove. Then, choose your baby's settings. If you are the owner of the camera, the word "Owner" will be displayed next to your name on the Parenting team list.

Now that you have confirmed you are the owner, you can proceed to detach the camera. Open the Nanit app and tap the side menu. Tap the camera you want to remove from your account. Choose your baby's settings, then scroll down until you reach Advanced settings. As the owner, you will see the option to "Detach camera". Tap on it, then approve the confirmation message. Finally, complete the process by restarting the Nanit app on all connected devices and resetting your camera.

Please note that this feature is currently only available on iOS starting from app version 2.6.2. Also, detaching the camera means that the baby will still be visible in your app, but the physical camera will no longer be attached to it. If you have an active Insights subscription, your baby's data will remain available.

Using adhesive strips to stick the camera to the wall

Step 1: Gather the Right Adhesive Strips

Firstly, ensure you have the correct adhesive strips for your Nanit camera. The Nanit Wall Mount comes with black adhesive strips, but some users have reported that these strips can damage paint when removed. As an alternative, you can use Command strips, which are designed to be easily removable without damaging walls.

Step 2: Prepare the Wall

Before attaching the adhesive strips to the wall, it is important to ensure the surface is clean and dry. If you are mounting the camera onto a wall with wallpaper, consider using painter's tape as a backing for the adhesive strips, which can help protect the wallpaper when you need to remove the camera.

Step 3: Attach Adhesive Strips to the Camera

Peel the backing off the adhesive strips and attach them to the mounting points on the back of your Nanit camera. Ensure that the strips are securely attached and follow the instructions provided with your chosen adhesive strips.

Step 4: Mount the Camera to the Wall

Carefully position the camera on the desired location on the wall and firmly press the camera and adhesive strips onto the surface. Hold it in place for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond.

Step 5: Adjust the Camera Angle

Once the camera is securely mounted, you can adjust the camera angle as needed. The grey knob near the top of the stand can be used for this. Turn the knob counterclockwise to loosen, adjust the angle, and then turn the knob clockwise to tighten.

Step 6: Test the Camera

After mounting, test the camera to ensure it is securely in place and functioning properly. You can also use the Nanit app to confirm that the camera is detecting the wall mount and has switched to the correct mode.

Using adhesive strips is a simple and effective way to mount your Nanit camera to the wall, providing a clear bird's-eye view of your child's sleep space while also ensuring the safety of your little one.

Removing the camera from the wall without damaging wallpaper

To remove a Nanit camera from a wall mount without damaging wallpaper, you can try a few different methods. One option is to use a sharp knife to cut behind the adhesive strips, separating the adhesive from the plastic piece, and then roll the adhesive off the wall. This method ensures that the wallpaper is not damaged and has been successful for some users.

Another option is to use painter's tape. Apply the tape to the wallpaper and then attach the camera to the tape using heavy-duty Velcro. When you need to remove the camera, simply peel the painter's tape off the wall. This method may be useful if you don't want to risk the adhesive damaging your wallpaper.

Additionally, you can try using a hairdryer, heat gun, or blow torch to melt the adhesive without damaging the wall. Gently apply heat to the surface while scraping off the adhesive. Be cautious and avoid overheating, as this may damage the wallpaper.

Adjusting the camera angle

The Nanit camera is a high-definition camera (1080p HD) that captures your baby's precious moments. The camera also has a diffused, low-glow infrared light that lets you see your baby's activities in the dark. The top of the camera is made of illuminating plastic that lights up when you turn on the night light or when the camera is connecting to Wi-Fi.

The Nanit camera also has a temperature and humidity sensor that will notify you if your baby's nursery is too hot or cold. This sensor is located in both the wall and multi-stand, directly behind the camera.
