Your Owlet Cam displays temperature and humidity readings for your little one’s room on your Cam’s live view page.
Reading the humidity
- Find the humidity percentage level on the live view, next to the raindrop icon.
This is the percentage of Relative Humidity (RH) in your little one’s room that is currently registering on the Cam’s humidity sensor. - Reading the combination of temperature and humidity indicates either a comfortable or uncomfortable range for your child.
What Temp/Humidity range is comfortable or uncomfortable?
The Cam live view page interprets the room as comfortable or uncomfortable using these ranges:

What if I’m not receiving accurate Temp Readings?
The Owlet Cam's thermostat is inside its USB cable. This means several environmental changes can trigger a misleading reading. To improve the accuracy of your readings, try to:
- Keep the thermostat section (USB cable) in contact with the same ambient air as your child to improve and achieve accurate readings.
- Avoid keeping the thermostat in a too-cool place or near a heat source.
- Please reach out to customer service for a replacement at contact@owletcare.com if you believe your USB cable thermostat is faulty.
Switching temperature between Fahrenheit and Celsius
