Baby Monitor update version 3.3.1

Connect up to 3 parents to the same baby unit

If you are using a wifi connection, now your baby will be safer than before using this new feature.
Just switch on your baby unit and be sure that all the devices have the same automatic search key.

To avoid undesired connections, when a second or third device is connected you will receive a notification on the rest of parent units.

Control the sensitivity, volume, music, video, etc. remotely from the device you want!

You can disable this feature going to Settings and Connection.


Why only with wifi connections?

Bluetooth has a known bandwidth limit. 2 simultaneous connections are not possible because it produce a very bad quality of sound.


Why only 3 devices?

While using old low powered Android devices during the test period, seems that 3 simultaneous connections are the maximum that this kind of units can afford with warranties.


Bug fixes and improvements

Thanks to your kind comments and emails, this new version solves connection, video and interface bug fixes.

Also it improves the interface for some small tablets like Nexus 7.


Targeted to Android 4.4

Now adapted to the newest Android version.

Full screen video

Completely redesigned video mode screen to support a full sized viewer.

BE CAREFUL: Tethering can increase the data traffic to internet and can represent a possible extra cost in your bill.

Baby Monitor update version 2.5


New functionality to search the Baby's device automatically on wifi networks.

This new feature allows you to locate the Baby's device in a wifi network and connect to it automatically.
If the search operation fails, the Baby Monitor will ask you for the ip address or pin as usual.

Now imagine that you are in a public network like a camping or a hotel and that possibly some other Baby Monitors All-in-One could be there. How the Parent's side will know which is the Baby device I want to connect?

Very simple: take a look at the settings and you will find an option where to introduce a key. This key will identify your devices and mus't be the same on both.

Please remember to change it when using public wifi networks to prevent that one else except you can connect to Baby's device.


Fixed user interface issues with Google Nexus 7 and Samsung Tab 7 (P1000).

Solves reported interface issues with those models.


Remember last pin/ip used.

After a successful wifi connection the pin or ip address used will be remembered for the next connection.


Internal improvements.
