How to use two phones as a baby monitor
One phone stays near the cot, but never inside it. The other comes with you. Naby shows the connection and alerts you when your baby stirs.
Set up in four steps
- 01
Pair the phones
Open Naby on both phones and connect the Baby Unit to the Parent Unit.
- 02
Place the baby phone
Put it near the cot, but never inside it. Keep the microphone clear. The screen can stay off.
- 03
Take the parent phone
Bring it downstairs, onto the terrace, or to the next room.
- 04
Watch the status
Your lock-screen status view shows the connection. Naby alerts you when your baby stirs. Tap to listen.
Live Activity on iPhone; Android equivalent in the works.
What matters
Alerts instead of an open stream
You do not need to listen all evening. Naby alerts you when your baby stirs.
A visible connection state
You can see when both phones are connected. Naby warns you if the connection drops and reconnects when the network returns.
Battery and screen off
The baby phone can monitor with its screen off. Start with enough charge for the night. Keep a charger nearby for longer sessions.
Private audio
The audio is end-to-end encrypted. We cannot listen in. You do not create an account.
When a phone-based monitor is not the right tool
Choose another option when there is no usable Wi-Fi or cellular connection, when you need video, or when you need medical monitoring. Naby is an audio baby monitor. It is not a medical device.
