The Nucleus is a video communication device that connects through wi-fi. Each screen is connected through the Nucleus system so I can call downstairs or I can call a relative in another state. Each screen can also connect with mobile phones that are added to the system. Watch this video to see more about how Nucleus works.
Here are FIVE ways Nucleus can be used in a busy family.
Keeping in touch with relatives. A simple touch screen makes it easy for kids to call their grandparents. It’s a great way to let them have a way to reach out to loved ones without needed a parent to help them.
Checking in with me! Like so many families, we happily ditched our landline. And, for the most part, my kids aren’t home alone. However, on the off chance that my daughter beats me home, she can easily call me using Nucleus. With a quick push of a button, she can call my cell phone to check in. This is also great if we have babysitters who don’t have their own phones or may have forgotten theirs. I know they can still get in touch with us. This was my biggest misgiving about getting rid of a home phone and now it’s not a worry at all!
Video baby monitor. Since the Nucleus screen are all connected, keeping one in baby’s room can easily replace any current monitor situation. And since the screens are large and super clear, it’s easy to see what’s going on with baby!
Amazon Alexa. All Nucleus home monitor systems come with Amazon Alexa. No need for yet another device in your home! My kids love asking Alexa to tell them jokes. I love doing a quick weather check to seeif it’s a rainboots or sandals kind of day.
Home Intercom. I know I’m not the only mom who is not a fan of yelling (usually multiple times) for my kids to come down for dinner–or to do their homework–or even to wake up! The Nucleus can be used for all of that. I love that it can be wall mounted or sit on a desktop.
So, I’ve just replaced my home phone, my baby monitor, and my Amazon Alexa–plus I can communicate with my kids and family with the push of a button. I was so impressed with all the Nucleus can do! Setup was super easy (I am not a techie and had no issues at all with getting the Nucleus all set up). Check out some more stories about how people are using Nucleus to simplify their lives over on the Nucleus blog!

Lissa Crane
May 8, 2017 at 1:41 pmI would use it most for watching and communicating with my four kiddos when they are in their own rooms on another floor! Right now we just scream from the upstairs to the downstairs when we want to tell them something, this would be a lot easier!

Mary Beth Elderton
May 8, 2017 at 9:39 amNot for us, but for my son and DIL’s busy family. At their house it does not matter what is going on, it seems the person you need to talk to or keep an eye on is at the other end of the stairs. I see this as being great for family communication. I also see their tech savvy family finding a bunch of other uses.
Katie Bellamy
May 8, 2017 at 9:23 amI’d use this to watch my kids when they are playing! I’ll be able to actually find out who hit who first! lol!

Raine
May 7, 2017 at 3:25 pmI would use it to keep an eye on my children when I’m home, check in with them, mediate arguments and interact with them while I’m in my home office. So many uses I could go on and on.

April 30, 2017 at 11:38 pmI’d use the intercom the most! LOL My daughter would be using the Alexa to play music – she does that with the one we have now (although that’s about all it is used for since I have no idea what else to use it for since we have no wireless lights, thermostats, etc).
Gina
May 2, 2017 at 9:40 pmWe’re not super techy either–we love using Alexa to tell bedtime stories, play Jeopardy, check the weather and tell us jokes:)
Gina

I often work from home but I have an 11 year old that is constantly yelling my name and often my 3 year old granddaughter is here as well. In addition, my father in law moved in with us after his stroke and I take care of him. I loose a lot of time for work just going to find out why everyone is calling my name.
