About Noctu – Baby Monitor
Turn two Apple devices you already own into a private baby monitor. Noctu links a spare iPhone or iPad by the crib to the one in your hand — live video and sound, straight over your home Wi‑Fi. No cloud. No account. No subscription. Nothing recorded, ever. NOTHING EXTRA TO BUY Noctu is not a companion app for a camera, hub, base station, or any other product, and it does not connect to or control any third‑party hardware. It uses two of your own Apple devices and nothing else — so that spare iPhone in a drawer becomes your camera in seconds. No accessory to pair, no brand to sign up with. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Everything stays between your two devices, encrypted, on your home network. • No account, no sign‑up, no analytics, no ads. • Nothing is recorded and nothing is ever sent to the internet. We collect no data. HEAR EVERY SOUND • Crystal‑clear live audio keeps playing with your phone locked or in your pocket. • An always‑on sound meter shows a calm room at a glance — so silence never looks like a lost signal. • A gentle, adjustable alert nudges you the moment your little one stirs. NEVER MISS A DROP‑OUT • If the camera ever stops responding, Noctu sounds a loud alarm that breaks through Silent mode and Focus — because a monitor that fails quietly is worse than none. • It reconnects on its own the instant your Wi‑Fi returns. QUIETLY SMART — ALL ON YOUR DEVICE • Cry detection listens for your baby and lets you know. • Camera awareness can notice when your baby isn't visible, may be covered, or has rolled over — and ignores movement when no one is in view. • A calm morning summary recaps the night, written entirely on device. MADE FOR THE NIGHTSTAND • A true‑black, glare‑free design that won't light up the room. • A Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island shows status, sound level, and camera battery at a glance. • Start it hands‑free with Siri, the Action Button, or Control Center. • Torch, front/back camera, dimmed mode, and battery & thermal safeguards. • iPhone and iPad, in English and German. Up to two viewers per camera. SET UP IN UNDER A MINUTE 1. On a spare iPhone or iPad, open Noctu and choose Camera. Prop it by the crib and plug it in. 2. On your own device, choose Monitor and scan the on‑screen code once. 3. That's it — you're watching, privately, on your own network. Noctu is a convenience aid to help you keep an eye and an ear on your child. It is not a medical device and is not designed to detect, prevent, or treat any medical condition, injury, or SIDS. Always follow safe‑sleep guidance, and never rely on any monitor as a substitute for adult supervision. Noctu works over your local Wi‑Fi only: both devices must be on the same network, with no remote or internet access.
