What I Loved
I loved the cheerful voice prompt for my next step when Cubo was all plugged in and I wasn’t sure how to connect it to Wifi! But this product also appealed to my sense of conservation. Cubo doesn’t waste expense or material on duplicating things you already have in your house – like a high definition digital screen. I picked Cubo for my firstborn in part for the environment and her future. I didn’t want a dedicated monitor that only functioned in a short-range in my house. I’m going back to work soon, and biologists don’t sit at desks! My smartphone goes with me everywhere, and with Cubo’s cloud access from behind enterprise-level security, I’m going to stay connected to my baby no matter where I’m working.Looking forward to Growing Up With This Bird
And what about when my little one is not so little? I can’t handle the idea of being so wasteful to buy an expensive piece of electronics that’s useful for just a few months. Cubo watches over my baby in the crib right now, but later on, it might be Cubo’s built in nightlight keeping the monsters at bay from a toddler bed (no evil red LEDs here!). Look at those smiles – I’ve never seen babies try to make friends with their baby monitor before. And the Danger Zone Alert will keep this bird a helpful fixture for years around the house. We use technology like this in biology, to trigger cameras when animals enter areas of interest. Well, my little animal might want to climb a tall bookshelf or crawl under our house into the basement – I need Cubo watching out for these things! I’m looking forward to years with this clever little bird.Temp Reminders
Cubo is already a helpful part of our family. We use a lot of passive, eco-friendly heating and cooling at home. But babies aren’t as comfortable when it’s hot or cold as us adults, so Cubo’s temperature settings remind us when the bedroom is outside what’s a safe range for our little one. And as a biologist, my child is not the only animal in my house – Cubo’s face detection AI has warned me when my cat tries to get in the baby’s bassinet. That’s already been hugely important in our day to day life since cats can choose to snuggle close like an aggressively cuddly baby blanket.
I’m going back to work soon, and biologists don’t sit at desks! My smartphone goes with me everywhere, and with Cubo’s cloud access from behind enterprise-level security, I’m going to stay connected to my baby no matter where I’m working.
