Follow-up questions

Is Call Pet a medical baby monitor? +

No. It provides private live video and two-way audio. It is not a medical monitor and does not replace breathing or health-alert devices.

Why use an app instead of a hardware baby monitor? +

An app is useful when you already have a spare phone and need temporary or privacy-focused monitoring. Hardware monitors may be better if you need dedicated sensors or automated alerts.
