System Requirements and Compatibility
The Nanit Wall Mount is compatible with most wall types, including drywall and plaster, and requires proper stud placement for secure installation and stability.
Ensuring Wall Type Compatibility
Before installing the Nanit Wall Mount, verify that your wall type is compatible. The mount is designed for drywall and plaster walls, which are common in most homes. For other wall types, such as concrete or brick, additional hardware like anchors or specific screws may be required to ensure stability. Always check the weight capacity of the mount to confirm it can support the camera securely. If compatibility is uncertain, refer to Nanit’s official guidelines or contact customer support for recommendations. Proper installation ensures safety and prevents potential hazards, especially when mounted near a crib. Using the correct hardware for your wall type guarantees a secure and reliable setup.
Checking for Proper Stud Placement
Locating wall studs is crucial for a secure installation. Use a stud finder to identify the wooden studs behind your wall. Mark the center of the stud with a pencil, ensuring proper alignment for the mount. The Nanit Wall Mount should be installed at least 6 feet above the crib to ensure optimal camera positioning. Double-check that the studs are spaced correctly (typically 16 or 24 inches apart) and select a stud that aligns with the center of the crib. If studs are not properly aligned, consider using wall anchors or consulting a professional. Proper stud placement ensures the mount’s stability and prevents potential risks, ensuring your baby’s safety and the camera’s effectiveness. Always refer to the Nanit manual for specific guidance on stud placement.
Preparation for Installation

Gathering Necessary Tools and Materials
To ensure a smooth installation, gather the necessary tools and materials beforehand. You will need a drill, screws, wall anchors, a level, a pencil, and a measuring tape. Additionally, have the Nanit Wall Mount kit and the camera ready. If your wall requires specific hardware, such as drywall anchors, ensure you have those on hand. Organize all items in a convenient workspace to avoid delays. Double-check that all components from the Nanit package are included, such as the mounting bracket and cable management clips. Having everything prepared will make the installation process efficient and stress-free.
Downloading and Setting Up the Nanit App
Begin by downloading the Nanit app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Once installed, create an account or log in if you already have one. Ensure your device’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled to facilitate a smooth setup process. Open the app and follow the in-app instructions to pair your Nanit Camera. This step is crucial for connecting your camera to the internet and enabling remote monitoring. After completing the initial setup, the app will guide you through the wall mount installation process.

Step-by-Step Installation Process
Follow these organized steps to install your Nanit Wall Mount securely. Start by locating wall studs, then attach the mount bracket, and finally secure the camera firmly.
Finding the Wall Stud and Marking the Area
To ensure a secure installation, locate the wall studs using a stud finder. Mark the center of the stud with a pencil. Align the wall mount template with this mark, ensuring it’s level. Fold the shaded area of the template and press firmly to create a straight line. This step is crucial for proper alignment and stability. Once aligned, make a small mark at the 66-inch measurement to guide the bracket placement. Double-check the markings to avoid mistakes during installation. Proper stud alignment ensures the mount’s stability and safety for your baby monitor. Follow these steps carefully for a secure setup.
Attaching the Wall Mount Bracket
Align the wall mount bracket with the marked stud location, ensuring it’s level. Screw the bracket into the wall studs using the provided screws. Press the bracket firmly against the wall and screw until secure. You’ll hear an audible click once the bracket is properly attached. Tighten all screws to ensure stability. Double-check the bracket’s alignment and stability before proceeding. This step is critical for the safety and proper functioning of your Nanit camera. Ensure the bracket is flush against the wall and evenly aligned for optimal performance. Once secure, the bracket will provide a sturdy base for your Nanit monitor, ensuring reliable operation and peace of mind.
Securing the Nanit Camera to the Mount
Once the wall mount bracket is installed, carefully attach the Nanit camera to the mount. Align the camera’s base with the mounting slots on the bracket. Gently push the camera down until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the camera is snug and evenly aligned for proper positioning. Adjust the camera angle to achieve the best view of your baby’s crib, following the in-app guidance for optimal placement. Tighten any adjustment screws to lock the camera in position. Double-check the camera’s stability by gently rocking it back and forth. Ensure all cables are neatly secured using the provided cable channels to prevent any safety hazards. Once secured, your Nanit camera will provide a clear and stable view of your baby’s environment.
Safety and Security Considerations
Ensure cables are hidden to prevent hazards. Mount the camera securely, following safety guidelines. Position it out of your baby’s reach for optimal security and peace of mind.
Ensuring Proper Camera Angle and Positioning
Proper camera angle and positioning are crucial for clear visibility and baby safety. Mount the camera 6 feet above the crib, aligned with the center of the room. Use the provided mounting template to mark the wall accurately. Ensure the camera is level and straight, then adjust the elbow connectors for the perfect view. The Nanit app will guide you through the positioning process to ensure optimal coverage. Once installed, double-check that the crib is centered in the camera’s field of view; Adjustments can be made using the wall mount’s flexibility. Secure all cables neatly to avoid hazards and ensure a safe environment for your baby. Proper positioning guarantees a clear and unobstructed view, providing peace of mind for parents.
Hiding Cables and Ensuring Safety
Hiding cables is essential for both safety and aesthetics. Use the provided cable channels to neatly route wires along the wall or floor. Secure any excess cable with cable ties or clips to prevent loose ends. Ensure all cords are tucked away out of your baby’s reach to avoid accidental pulling or entanglement. For added security, consider using cable covers or adhesive cable management strips to keep wires flush against the wall. This not only reduces tripping hazards but also keeps the nursery looking tidy. Proper cable management ensures your baby’s safety while maintaining a clean and organized setup. Always double-check that cables are securely fastened and out of reach.
Final Checks and Pairing the Camera
After completing the installation, ensure the camera is stable and paired with the Nanit app. Verify the proper view and Wi-Fi connection for optimal performance.

Once paired, test the connection to ensure proper functionality and clear visibility of your baby. This step is crucial for remote monitoring and receiving alerts. Ensure your Wi-Fi network is stable and that Bluetooth is enabled for a smooth pairing process. After successful pairing, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you can monitor your baby from anywhere. Proper pairing ensures all features, like motion tracking and alerts, work effectively.
Testing the Camera and Mount Stability
After installation, test the camera and mount to ensure stability and proper function. Adjust the camera angle to achieve a clear view of your baby’s crib. Check the mount’s sturdiness by gently tugging on it to confirm it’s securely attached to the wall. Ensure the camera remains level and stable, with no wobbling or movement. Verify that all cables are safely secured and hidden to prevent any hazards. Test the camera’s live feed through the Nanit app to ensure a clear and uninterrupted connection.
