Babyphony - Baby Camera

Two phones, and nothing else. One sits in the nursery and transmits video and sound, the other stays beside your bed.

TAKE THE OLD PHONE OUT OF THE DRAWER
The device in the nursery stays put: plugged in, all night, doing exactly one thing. That does not call for a new phone — it calls for an old one. It does not even need a SIM card; Wi-Fi is enough.

NO DETOUR
Most baby monitor apps send the video through their provider's data centres. Babyphony does not. The two phones talk to each other directly, over WebRTC — the same technology that carries video calls in a browser. A signalling service brings them together and holds the pairing code in memory just long enough. Video and sound pass it by.

WHAT IT DOES
• Wakes you from the background — the parents' phone does not have to keep the app open
• Raises the alarm when nothing arrives from the nursery any more
• Three bandwidth levels, from frugal to the best quality on Wi-Fi
• Light, dark or system; the video view always stays black
• Mute each side separately
• Pair by QR code, over Bluetooth nearby, or by typing the code
• Survives the switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data

NO RECORDING
This is not a setting that could be flipped by accident: the app has no recording function. No button for it, no file that would be created, and nowhere for one to sit. What is never stored cannot fall into the wrong hands later.

NO ACCOUNT
No email address, no password, no profile. The two devices know each other by a pairing code and nothing else.

FREE, AD-SUPPORTED
The app is free and complete — no trial that runs out, no feature behind a barrier, no subscription. One banner appears on the monitor screen only, and never while the alarm is sounding. If you would rather not see it, a single purchase removes it; no subscription, no renewal.

WHERE WE WANT TO BE HONEST
• Babyphony is not a medical device and monitors no vital signs
• It is no substitute for supervision
• The pairing code is not a password: anyone who knows it can join a session
• Not on every network — behind strict firewalls the direct connection can fail
• Some manufacturers stop background apps aggressively; exclude Babyphony from battery optimisation there
