_Child Monitor_ allows two Android devices to act as a baby monitor. The first device,
|
||||
left in the room with the baby, will advertise itself on the network and stream audio

to a connected client. The second device, with the parent, will connect to the monitoring

The current version of _Child Monitor_ is rudimentary at best. It is capable

of successfully advertising itself on the network, allows clients to connect,

2. Handle dropped packets gracefully
|

3. Use of GSM when no internet connectivity is available
|
||||
|
||||
At the time this project was started there was no obvious open source solution for a
|
||||
baby monitor for Android. There are both free and paid options available for Android,
|
||||
including:
