# Child Monitor
|
|
An Open Source Child Monitor for Android
|
|
|
|
_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
|
|
device and receive an audio stream.
|
|
|
|
The project is a fork of _Protect Baby Monitor_ which is declared as "on hiatus" by its developer.
|
|
|
|
_Child Monitor_ works on Android 4.4 (KitKat) and newer, i.e. Android SDK 19.
|
|
|
|
The current version of _Child 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. Robust usage of the AudioTrack API
|
|
2. Handle dropped packets gracefully
|
|
3. Use of GSM when no internet connectivity is available
|
|
|
|
At the time this project was forked from _Protect Baby Monitor_ there was no obvious open source solution for a
|
|
baby monitor for Android in F-Droid.
