The Smart Baby Monitor wake-up detector takes into account the peculiarities of the baby's sleep and his age. By default, when the application is launched, the following parameters are set:
If you do not want to take into account the phases of fast and slow sleep, disable this option in the "Settings". At the same time, the accuracy of the wake-up detector will be lower. The number of false positives may increase.
- Changing the sleep phase after falling asleep in: 30 minutes
- The intensity of movement during sleep: Average

With the help of a Smart Baby Monitor, you have the opportunity to receive sound from a device located next to your baby. To do this, it is not necessary to turn on the wake-up detector. To hear your baby, just click on the sound receiving button located above the switch on the detector.
In the application settings, you can enable the sound notification function regardless of the state of the parent device. To do this, enable the option "Allow sound notifications in silent mode". To apply the changes, click "Save".
The "Event journal" function allows you to track the moments when the wake-up detector was triggered, and mark up positive and false notifications. This data is used to improve the accuracy of the detector.
- A green "tick" indicates a successful operation. The notification appeared before or during the baby's awakening. The information received was useful.
- The red "cross" is a false alarm. The notification appeared when the baby was sleeping. The information received was not useful.
- A yellow "question mark" is a false positive due to "external" circumstances. The notification appeared during the installation of the camera or when someone else was in the frame besides the baby. For example, a dog/cat ran by, or you decided to straighten the blanket.
For the accurate operation of the wake-up detector, several conditions must be met.
Do not forget to turn off the sound on the baby's device or switch the phone to Airplane mode so as not to wake the baby up with a random notification. Make sure you have stable internet access.
- Place your smartphone above the crib at an angle from 90 to 30/150% or on the same horizon line with the baby. To fix the device on the crib, it is recommended to use tripods with flexible legs.
- The baby must be completely in the camera frame.
- There should be no objects blocking the view between the camera and the baby.
- Make sure that there are no bright light sources in the background, for example, windows or floor lamps. This can negatively affect the quality of the image transmitted from the baby to the parent device, which will affect the accuracy of the detector.
- The room where the baby sleeps should not be too dark. In such conditions, the wake-up detector will not work.
