Android phone as baby monitor - the 3 best apps
If you do not want to spend money on a baby monitor, the Android phone also does. We present you the three best apps.
Android app - Babyphone (Baby Monitor)
- The app monitors all noises in the room and also records the sleep phases. Should there be any longer or noisy riots, the device acts immediately.
- As a first measure, a sound is played that you can record yourself beforehand. For example, you have the option to speak a calming word or to record a night song for your child. If that does not help, a number left behind will be called and you can speak to your baby yourself.
- This app does not require an internet connection, but your smartphone should be muted beforehand so that your child is not disturbed by incoming calls.
- The Babyphone app (Baby Monitor) currently costs EUR 3.69 in the Google Play Store.

- Before starting, you need to connect the two Android devices either via WLAN or 3G. Immediately after setting up, you will receive constant information about the battery level of the baby monitor.
- Loud noises are now transmitted to your smartphone in real time. You will also be notified of this by a vibration or a somewhat louder sound.
- You can use the Dormi plug-in to forward calls or SMS messages that come in on the baby monitor directly to your second smartphone. This is particularly useful if you only have an Android smartphone available.
- You can test the Dormi app free of charge for 4 hours, test it for a month for 69 cents, use it for a year for 3.59 euros, or for life for 4.99 euros.

- By connecting to the second smartphone, you can, among other things, follow a live image through the camera. If your child wakes up, you can also switch the light of the cell phone camera on and off to illuminate the room. You can also record and play back your own music or your own voice.
