Description

The Buddy baby monitoring system consists of three parts: a baby unit, a parent unit and an app. The baby unit records sounds, movements and room temperature. A detachable camera and secure connectivity ensure privacy. The Baby Unit can also be used as a Bluetooth speaker, making the product more durable and sustainable beyond infancy. The Parent Unit is reduced to its most important function – notifying parents – and can send an alarm via vibration, sound and light signals. At the same time, the small notification puck can be magnetically attached to the T-shirt as a reading light. The night light, music playback and notifications can be customised via the app.
