WARNING:
This app is for convenience only and is not a certified safety or medical monitoring device. Network connections can be unreliable. Please do not rely solely on this app for critical monitoring (like a baby monitor). We recommend placing a continuously moving object (like a clock) in the frame to verify the stream is active.
