About this app
Turn two iPhones or iPads into a video baby monitor in under a minute. Put one in the nursery, keep the other with you. No account, no subscription, no extra hardware. Baby Monitor was rebuilt from the ground up in 2026. The video is sharp, the sound is clear, and when Wi-Fi hiccups it reconnects on its own and sounds an alarm if it cannot. HOW IT WORKS • Open the app on both devices. Tap Baby unit on one and Parent unit on the other. • Type the six-digit code shown on the Baby unit. You only do that once. • Watch, listen and talk back. Lock the Parent unit's screen and keep listening. WHAT YOU GET • Live video and sound over your Wi-Fi, straight from one device to the other • Hold-to-talk to soothe your baby from another room • 18 lullabies and white-noise tracks with a sleep timer, played in the nursery • Night light using the Baby unit's flash • Battery level, connection quality and a live sound meter on the Parent unit • Automatic reconnect, with an alarm if the Baby unit stays out of reach • Two Parent units can watch the same Baby unit at once • Night-sky screen that dims the Baby unit so it does not light up the room • Anti-feedback: if both units end up in the same room, the speaker mutes itself instead of squealing AWAY FROM HOME Pair at home once, then connect from work or the car over the internet through iCloud. Sound only on cellular to save data, video on demand. Works on most networks; some cellular carriers and hotel Wi-Fi block direct connections. CRYING ALERTS Turn on alerts and get a notification when your baby is loud and no Parent unit is listening, even with the app closed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Video and sound are encrypted and never stored. There is no account, no cloud recording and no tracking. WHAT YOU NEED Two iPhones or iPads on iOS 17.2 or later, on the same Wi-Fi at home. Both signed in to iCloud for away-from-home use. Keep the Baby unit plugged in. Terms of use: https://ellisapps.com/terms.html Privacy policy: https://ellisapps.com/privacy.html
