An Open Source Baby Monitor for Android
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/brarcher/protect-baby-monitor)
|
|
|
|
_Protect Baby 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
|
|
device and receive an audio stream.
|
|
|
|
Currently _Protect Baby Monitor_ builds against Android SDK 17. It may work for
|
|
lower SDK versions, but this has not been tested.
|
|
|
|
The current version of _Protect Baby Monitor_ is rudimentary at best. It is capable
|
|
of successfully advertising itself on the network, allows clients to connect,
|
|
and streams audio. Room for improvement includes:
|
|
|
|
1. Decent UI
|
|
2. Hook into audio controls to adjust volume
|
|
3. Robust usage of the AudioTrack API
|
|
4. Handle dropped packets gracefully
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
- [Baby Monitor Wifi](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bluechillie.babyphone)
|
|
- [Dormi](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sleekbit.dormi)
|
|
- [Baby Monitor](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.mvainformatics.android.babymonitor)
|
|
|
|
If there is any interest in improving this open source baby monitor, kindly submit a pull request with
|
|
proposed changed.
