Frequently asked questions
Monitoring
Annie Baby Monitor is a mobile application that helps you monitor your baby while dreaming. One device is left with your baby in order to capture the audio and other devices are kept with the parents, nanny or anyone who is currently looking after the baby. And best of all? No special equipment needed apart from your phone or tablet!
Sure thing! The number of monitored children is not limited by Annie whatsoever. But your phone or used network may limit the app's full capabilities.
Annie Baby Monitor has unlimited range and works over Wi-Fi and mobile networks. That means you could be on the other side of the world and still see your baby falling asleep.
You will either hear a sound or your phone will vibrate when there is noise around your little one. But you can also recognize it visually. There is a different color for awake, asleep and other states shown in your list of connected devices and video preview.
The threshold is an easy way to know what goes on in the baby's room. It allows you to set a noise level for your baby and if the baby cries and the sound is above that level, the audio will automatically start playing. You may then open your monitoring screen and turn on the video too.
You can put the phone anywhere in the baby's room. Just remember to adjust the noise sensitivity to a higher number if the phone is further from the baby.
Well, it depends on your usage of the app, specifically your network (Wi-Fi or mobile network) and your camera resolution. If you watch your baby over the video, the data consumption is about the same as a video on Youtube. If you only want to listen, it takes about 20 kbps, just like your average radio station.
This depends on your network, the phone you use and its battery size. If you watch your baby over the video, the battery will last about the same as if you watched videos online on Youtube. Annie always let you know when the battery drops below 20 %, but we definitely recommend plugging the phone you leave with your baby into electricity.
At first, make sure that the noise sensitivity is set up correctly. If this doesn't help, end the monitoring and restart the app. After that, your sound will work correctly.
That's easy, just turn off the app on your device while you're close to the device monitoring your baby.
Right now is not possible to fully mute the app, only to lower its noise sensitivity.
Annie makes decisions about the baby crying based on the level of noise in the room. If your baby seems to be awake on your phone but is actually sleeping, try to change the noise sensitivity to a lower number on the home screen of the app. Maybe it will take a little while until you find the perfect values for your home conditions.
Supported devices and languages
Annie allows you to monitor your babies on all iOS phones with OS 11 or newer. And don't forget the iPads, they are also supported. Just note that older devices may have performance issues, especially when monitoring more children at the same time.
Yes, you can use the app on both platforms. We are still improving this feature.
Not yet, but this is a feature we are planning on releasing very soon.
Annie works on Android and iOS devices only.
Apps usually support two last versions of OS. Older phones and tablets have obsolete hardware, which is not able to support current software technology used in Annie. High quality, reliable audio and video streaming need to use up to date hardware and OS. Same goes for up to date security. The only logical choice to make Annie as reliable as possible was to only support the latest versions of the OS.
Annie speaks 16 languages. English, German, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, French, Russian, Spanish, Czech, Slovak, Finnish, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Japanese and Simplified Chinese.
Payments
Of course, there is a free trial - 3 hours. We want you to try this app fully and to be sure this app perfectly fits your family's needs.
One license is all that you need to monitor your baby because it's connected to your account login. You can add as many devices to your account as you need.
Update
There were two most important reasons for the update: user security and issues of the old version. We had no choice but to basically make a new app as it was impossible to develop the old Annie anymore. Most of the app is now based on much better technologies than before. The interface is now simple and easy-to-use, the connectivity is pretty much perfect and the audio and video streaming are of the highest possible quality. We also made a huge update on our backend, due to the GDPR regulations. We also updated our password and audio/video streaming encryption.
In order to provide a simple, easy-to-use user interface and due to our large focus on service quality. We will be adding new features gradually, but thoughtfully planned and with a high-quality standard.
Yes, your child's photo is stored only locally on your device so it never leaves your phone. On top of that, Annie uses up-to-date encryption for all password storage and for all audio and video transmission.
Troubleshooting
You only need one valid subscription to use the app. If you purchased your subscription in the past, you can manage it in your phone settings. In case of any problems, contact our support with a description of your issue and provide a payment confirmation.
You definitely don't have to buy it again. The app should recognize your license terms and agreements and behave accordingly. Let our support guys know and they will definitely help you restore the monitoring.
The best thing to do is to reset your password. You might just happen to be one of our old users whose account had outdated password encryption. We can't change your password for you so we had to enforce a password change.
