Yep. It exists. I don’t know how much I would trust my phone as a baby monitor (and I’m not alone), but the software does exist.
Baby Monitor for Windows Mobile, written by Russian resident Pavel Ananyev, works by using your phone to detect noises made by a distressed baby. The software features advanced noise suppression software which tells it to ignore environmental sounds which could trigger false alarms. It also automatically silences the ringer, so that your slumbering child wont be woken up by your crazy, loud ringtone.
I love what WMPowerUser had to say about this software:
On hearing a sound the phone will dial a pre-selected number, and you can listen in and confirm your baby is indeed awake. The author commends his solution, as it prevents issues with interference related to radio noise which plagues devices which run on the unlicensed spectrum that most baby monitors use, and of course features an unlimited radius of action, meaning you could be anywhere in the world (!) and still hear when your baby wakes up.
The software is going for $19.99. Any interested parties? Please, tell me all about it.
