Baby Monitoring

Want to check your baby's room from another part of your home? Hestiaa lets you use a compatible spare smartphone as a baby monitoring camera, using its built-in camera to provide a remote view on another compatible device.

No dedicated camera hardware is required. Use a smartphone you already own to get started.

Keep an Eye on Your Baby's Room

Set up a compatible smartphone in a suitable position to view your baby's room, configure Hestiaa, and access the supported monitoring view from another device.

Phone-based monitoring can help with visual check-ins while you are nearby or away, subject to the app's capabilities and connectivity requirements.

How It Works

1. Choose a Compatible Smartphone

Use a spare phone with a working camera and place it securely where it provides a suitable view of the room.

2. Configure Hestiaa

Install and configure the app according to its setup instructions. Ensure the phone has adequate power and connectivity.

3. View Remotely

Use another compatible device to access the supported monitoring view.

FAQ

Is a phone-based baby monitor a substitute for supervision?

No. Hestiaa provides a visual monitoring option, not a substitute for direct supervision or safe-sleep practices. Do not rely on it to detect medical emergencies or guarantee that your baby is safe.

Do I need a dedicated baby monitor?

Hestiaa uses a compatible smartphone's built-in camera, so a separate monitoring camera is not required for this approach.

Can I view my baby's room from another room?

Remote viewing depends on the app's supported functionality, setup and connectivity.

Can I use an old phone as a baby monitor?

Yes, if the phone meets Hestiaa's compatibility requirements and its camera and connectivity work reliably.
