Dream Sock Setup Steps

Please Note: Owlet products work with dual-band routers (2.4GHz and 5.0 GHz).

  1. For setup, both your Owlet device and phone or tablet need to be connected on 2.4GHz
  2. Please perform set-up within 10 feet of your router
  3. After setup you may move your phone or tablet back to 5GHz

Please Note for Multiples: Separate full Owlet Monitors are required to monitor multiples.  For example, for twins two separate full Owlet monitors are required.  When setting up more than one unit, do not try this simultaneously - wait until the first unit is completely set up and registered, and then unplug it.  Repeat with the additional units. 

Download the Owlet Dream App from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store (available for USA & Canada only). Please reference this guide to identify the App compatible with your Owlet product(s) and smartphone platform.
