BabyMonitarr App is the mobile client for BabyMonitarr — a self-hosted, privacy-first baby monitor. It connects to your BabyMonitarr server and streams audio and video from your IP cameras using WebRTC, the same technology behind video calls, delivering near-zero latency right to your device.
Requires a running BabyMonitarr Backend server.
