TIP: KEEP THE CAMERA AT A SAFE DISTANCE
Always position the baby unit at least three feet away from the crib to ensure all charging cables remain completely out of your child’s reach. This distance also provides a wider viewing angle so you can see the entire sleeping area on your screen. Securely placing the device on a stable shelf or wall bracket prevents it from being accidentally knocked over during the night.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use an old phone that doesn't have a SIM card?
Yes, as long as the device can connect to Wi-Fi, it will work perfectly as a baby unit. This is a great way to give a second life to an old smartphone you have sitting in a drawer.
Does the app work over long distances?
The app works anywhere you have an internet connection, whether it’s Wi-Fi or mobile data. You can be at the grocery store or even in another city and still see your baby’s live feed.
Is the connection secure from hackers?
Annie uses industry-standard encryption to protect your video and audio streams. To maximize security, always ensure your home Wi-Fi is protected by a strong, unique password.
Will the app drain my battery quickly?
Streaming live video does consume battery power, which is why we recommend keeping the baby unit plugged into a charger. The app also features a low-battery alert to notify the parent unit if the baby device is running out of power.
Can more than one person watch the baby at the same time?
Yes, you can invite family members like your spouse or grandparents to join the monitoring session. One subscription covers all devices in your family, making it easy for everyone to stay connected.
