App summary

The baby monitor for the smartphone age
Includes all standard features of an audio hardware baby monitor, along with video streaming (using your phone’s camera) and some surprising extras.

Works at any distance. Dormi can use any available route to connect parent and child units (WiFi, mobile data - Edge, 3G, 4G, 5G, HSPA+, LTE), and can work even when Internet is not available (WiFi Direct, HotSpot / AP)

Ultimate feature? You can connect MULTIPLE devices in parent mode to a single child device simultaneously.

Intelligent audio
You don't need to configure microphone sensitivity - Dormi adjusts to noise levels automatically. Leave the device several meters away from the sleeping baby and it will still be able to detect when it cries and amplify the sound for the parent device as if it were placed right next to the baby.

Press and hold the Listen button to hear sound from the child device even while the baby is not crying. Equally, use the Talk button to talk back to soothe or calm the baby while you are on your way.

Convenient info-center
With Dormi you always know what's going on. All important information about the child device is always available while monitoring. If connection with the child device is lost, the parent device will notify you.

Dormi will even notify you about missed calls and new text messages received on the child device, so you will not miss something important while not having direct access to the device.

We know Android!
If the baby starts crying while you are on the phone, you will be notified with vibrations and a gentle beep to your ear - without abruptly disturbing the phone call, yet letting you know.

Of course, Dormi works in the background, even when the device screen is off. Great care has been taken to limit battery usage - you can monitor for many hours on one charge.

Have you got an old Android device sitting in the drawer that you have no use for? Not anymore - try using it as the child device with Dormi. We have made the effort to ensure it runs from Android 2.3 onward.

Start right away...
All you have to do after install is pair two devices together (our autodiscovery feature makes this a breeze) and start monitoring right away.

Although unlimited monitoring is paid, you will get 4 hours of monitoring for free every month.

If you do decide to make a purchase, you only have to do so on one of the devices participating in the monitoring.

User reviews
When it works it's great. It says it can connect to any data, but that's not exactly true. Both on WiFi? All good. However, you can't listen if the child device is on WiFi but the parent is using data. Meaning, an old phone *won't* work at any distance unless both have active plans. I still get the beep alert, but no sound, which is pretty pointless if you can't tell *what* sound is being made. Will continue to try other apps before purchasing.

Great app so far! The "background noise-cancelling" is *phenomenal*!! Our expensive high-tech baby monitor [insert your own brand name here] drops out ALL THE TIME every time it thinks it can't reach the internet... but this app has never failed us once. I haven't purchased the full app yet -- but as well as it's been working for us I'm pretty sure I will be!

Helps me take a 💩 while watching my baby lol 🤣 Only thing is, you can't use data while using the video function! 😕 You have to be connected to wifi in order to use video. My bathroom is right out of wifi reach 😂 so I have to borrow my husband's phone, keep it within range & watch it that way. Oh also you need 2 phones, obvs. One for watching/being next to baby & the other to keep with you to hear/see the baby remotely. Hopefully they can update it to allow data usage instead of only wifi! 👍
