subject: An Iphone App Provides A Handy Baby Monitor On The Go [print this page] If you have a baby in the house, there's no question that you should purchase a good quality baby monitor. With a baby you should have a monitor no matter where you go, be it in your home or if you are visiting friends; with this in mind it can become bothersome to have to move your monitor along with you all over the place. Well now there's a simple answer. With the iPhone you can get a baby monitor app, which is entirely portable in the sense that it goes all over the place with you in any case.
When your baby sleeps you just use the app and leave your phone near to your little one. When it picks up any sounds, it will dial a pre-programmed phone number and let you know that your child has awakened. Obviously, it isn't a good idea to be too far away from your little one, but the application is quite useful if you need to be in another part of the home or outdoors. The fact that it has a limitless scope makes it a terrific supplement to a conventional baby monitor when you need to be a greater distance from the room in which your child is sleeping.
It comes pre-loaded with several options that can come in handy. For instance, it's possible to set a particular time frame that the sound must continue prior to it notifying you by phone. This can be ideal since infants will frequently make some noise while they sleep which are nothing to be concerned about.
The app also has the ability to be set to play music when sounds are picked up, helping calm the infant back off to sleep. Then, should the infant continue to be upset after a set period of time, you will be notified by the phone. An activity tracking function also helps track what your child was doing in your absence.
The only issue with the application is that its monitoring function gets underway at once upon being activated, and so if the little one doesn't fall asleep right away, you may be sent multiple false alarms. When you are using it as a baby monitor make certain to have call forwarding on and the ringer muted so you do not disturb your little one with phone calls or messages.
The app isn't created to act as a substitute for standard monitors, nor does it replace vigilant supervision by an adult. But for a small price, you can get added peace of mind about your child's safety wherever you both might be.
