Baby Monitor? There is an App for that?

There are phone services for everything these days. Now even baby monitors whose range is not that long are being replaced with smartphones and apps. Unlike monitors that alert a user when any noise is made, the Evoz app is able to differentiate between a cry and background noise. The app uses an algorithm derived from the crying sounds of hundreds of children of different ethnicities, ranging from newborns to children age 1 1/2. The company ran its crying tests with background music, traffic noise and other disruptive sounds to teach the software to isolate a baby's cries. Evoz uses two devices, which can consist of two iPhones or an iPhone paired with an Evoz receiver. An iPod Touch or an iPad can also be used for the receiver. Parents can listen in around the clock or have a text message sent or phone call made to them after the baby cries for more than 30 seconds. Expect video monitoring to be added in 2012. An Android-based app will be available in the coming months.

Phone services are coming out with so many new apps that 800 numbers are not even heard of.

Great phone service app. Keeping a good eye on the baby while sleeping is a good way to use phone services.

I think anyone with an iPhone would get this phone service if they had kids.

Phone services are getting ridiculous with these apps. This one does sound helpful though.
