Getting to know baby monitor app: Annie Baby Monitor
Being a new mom is tough, especially when it comes to newborn sleep. As first-time mothers, we are always worried about SIDS and other unlikely things. We are constantly checking on our baby during sleep time, but it is exhausting.
I believe in safe sleep practices, and using the Annie Baby Monitor has helped me relax during naps and at night. If you’re wondering how it works or if it’s right for you and your baby, I’d love to share what I’ve learned after using it.
What is Annie Baby Monitor and how to get it?
The Annie Baby Monitor is a baby monitor app that turns any two devices (phone, tablet, computer) into a baby monitor app, which monitors your baby’s motion, noise, sleep state and wakings—and sends all that live sleep and awake data to your phone for you to keep an eye on. The baby monitor app has over 30 calming sounds to help soothe your baby, so it’s not just a baby monitor but also a white noise machine.
You can get the Annie Baby Monitor for $4.99 and choose from weekly, monthly, or yearly subscriptions, making it a flexible choice whether you need it just for a short period—like during a vacation—or for longer-term use. This pay-as-you-go model is ideal for parents who might not need a baby monitor daily but still want the option available when necessary.
Annie Baby Monitor alert you if baby moves or makes sound
The Annie Baby Monitor app will notify you immediately when your baby moves or makes a sound. Its highly sensitive motion and sound detection can be customized to suit your preferences. You have full control over the sensitivity levels to ensure you receive alerts only when necessary, minimizing false alarms from minor movements or ambient noise. For example, if your baby tends to move a lot during sleep, you can set the app to alert you only for more significant movements.
How do I use my baby monitor on my phone?
To use a baby monitor app like Annie Baby Monitor on your phone, you need two devices, such as phones, tablets, or computers. One will act as the camera and the other as the receiver.
First, download the Annie Baby Monitor app from Google Play or the Apple App Store on both devices.
Next, when both devices are ready, follow the in-app instructions to pair them. This usually involves scanning a QR code or entering a unique code to pair the devices.
Lastly, place the camera device in the baby’s room. And that’s it! Having a baby monitor is as easy as that.
Recommendations for use Annie Baby Monitor
A very important point is to have a stable internet connection. If the Wi-Fi signal is weak or disrupted, the video feed will lag or disconnect.
For motion and sound detection to work correctly, you must place the baby unit/camera on a stable surface with a clear view of the crib. Also, don’t forget to adjust motion and sound alert sensitivity within the app to minimize false alarms.
And last but not least, I recommend you to try the app for free. Annie Baby Monitor offers a free 3-day trial.
Bottom Line
While my time using the Annie Baby Monitor has been smooth and uneventful—thankfully, with no alarming drops in readings—I’m still immensely appreciative of the valuable sleep data it provides, along with the reassurance that comes with it. The peace of mind alone makes it worth it for me, and just knowing that I would be able to act quickly if something did go wrong brings a great sense of security.
