The Miku Pro 2 offers something unique in the monitor space - contact-free breathing monitoring using millimeter-wave radar technology, no wearables or special clothing required.
HOW BREATHING MONITORING WORKS: Unlike Nanit (which requires Breathing Wear) or Owlet (which requires a sock), Miku uses radar to detect chest movements through clothes, swaddles, and sleep sacks. A real-time "breath wave" displays in the app, with alerts if breathing isn't detected.
2K VIDEO QUALITY: The Pro 2 upgraded to 2K resolution from the original's 1080p. The image quality is excellent, with good night vision and wide-angle coverage.
LOCAL PROCESSING: All breathing analysis happens on-device (not in the cloud), which Miku emphasizes for privacy. Video streaming still requires WiFi.
SLEEP TRACKING: The app tracks sleep sessions, provides insights, and stores data. While not as detailed as Nanit's analytics, it provides useful patterns.
COMPARISON TO NANIT: Miku: No wearable needed, radar-based breathing Nanit: Requires Breathing Wear, computer-vision based
Both are valid approaches; choose based on whether you want baby to wear something.
CONSIDERATIONS: At $400, it's a premium investment. Some users report occasional false alarms with the breathing detection. The radar works best with baby positioned correctly in the coverage zone.
VERDICT: The Miku Pro 2 is the best choice for parents who want breathing monitoring without any wearables. The radar technology is genuinely innovative.
