What is a baby monitor for? 6 reasons to get a baby monitor

A baby monitor out of a smartphone is not a tribute to fashion, it is a silent assistant, the principle of which is as simple as possible.

The following factors speak in favor of a remote video monitoring system:

  1. Wide range of applications. With the help of a baby monitor, you can remotely control any room, monitor the behavior of children, elderly family members, sick relatives and pets. Also, a baby monitor is used to monitor the service workers (teachers, babysitters, builders, repairmen, cleaners).
  2. Affordable and easy to install. A baby monitor made out of two smartphones is an assistant that can be set up in 5-10 minutes. To do this, you need to download a free mobile application for two phones, install one smartphone at the monitoring point and start recording. The second phone is in the viewer’s hands in the monitor mode. The system is ready to go.
  3. Assistance. A baby monitor via smartphone makes life much easier for young parents, guardians of elderly and/or sick relatives, as well as owners of naughty pets. A portable device can silently monitor any desired room round-the-clock. At the same time, the viewer can go about their business, and the factor of parental/guardian control will not be lost.
  4. Protection. Do you want to ensure the good attitude of the service staff towards your elderly and/or sick relatives? Do you want to not worry about the physical and psychological state of your child when they are in the hands of a teacher? A baby monitor via smartphone is a modern protector.
  5. Possibility of self-development of the child, but under invisible control. Any child needs personal space and time, when they can be alone with their favorite toys and activities. Give this opportunity to your son/daughter under the supervision of a baby monitor. Having analyzed the child’s behavior while alone, the development vector can be adjusted.
  6. Availability of archived videos. With the help of a baby monitor, you can get the opportunity to view the archive of records, up to two days, completely free of charge. Details here.
