It is possible to share your baby monitor feed with your friends and family. If you are an admin, you are able to share your baby monitor. There is only one admin per baby monitor. The admin is the user who initially sets up the baby monitor.
How to share your baby monitor feed:
In the baby monitor screen, go to settings
Click on share baby monitor
Add new user by entering their phone number or email address
Your newly added users are now able to view your baby monitor feed
Note: to add new users, please make sure they first download the uGrow Smart Baby Monitor app and create an account.
If you want to receive a push notification on your phone when there is a sound coming from your baby’s room, you will need to turn this on in the uGrow app.
How to turn the sound sensitivity setting on:
In the baby monitor screen, go to the bell icon
Switch the sound sensitivity setting on
Choose the sound level sensitivity: low or high
Note: Both your phone and your baby monitor need to have a working connection to be able to get the push notifications. The app does not work in the background, except sound push notifications (when connected).
Depending on your location and strength of your WiFi signal you can choose the right streaming mode. If you experience hiccups in your video and/or audio, you can switch to a lower streaming mode.
How to choose a streaming mode:
In the baby monitor screen, go to the bottom left of the live baby monitor stream
Click on the [HD] icon, and keep below guidelines in mind
High network speed: HD mode
Low to moderate network speed: SD mode
Low network speed or battery saving mode: Audio only mode
