No. Audio streams directly between your two devices using WebRTC peer-to-peer encryption. No audio ever touches or is stored on any server. We have no ability to listen to or record your audio.

Question 4

Yes! That is exactly what Baby Monitor is designed for. Place your old phone near the baby, open babymonitor.online, and start monitoring. Then scan the QR code with your current phone to listen.

Question 5

Do both devices need to be on the same WiFi?

Accepted Answer

No. Baby Monitor works on any network. You can choose "Same network" mode for extra security (only devices on your WiFi can connect) or "Any network" mode to monitor from anywhere.
