No hardware No cloud Nothing to buy

That drawer phone or tablet?
It's a smart monitor now.

Prop it up by the cot, the dog's bed, or your dad's front room, and get on with your evening. It does the hovering for you: a look whenever you want one, a tap on the shoulder the moment you're needed, and not one frame in anyone's cloud.

The nuvio Live screen watching a sleeping baby

Skip the $200 camera

The phone in your drawer has a better camera, mic, and speaker than most monitors money buys. Give it two minutes and somewhere to stand; it'll take the night shift.

Works wherever you are

Home works on the same Wi-Fi as your monitor. Anywhere also works away from home. Your video is encrypted and never stored by nuvio.

Private by architecture

One less thing to lie awake about. The AI that hears a cry lives on the monitor itself: no recording cloud, no account full of your footage, nothing out there to breach.

How it works

Three steps, no new hardware

1

An old phone becomes the monitor

Install nuvio, prop it up, point it at the crib, the door, the room. From then on the room is watched, screen off and all.

2

Scan its code once

The monitor shows a QR. Scan it with any phone camera and you're in: the app if you have it, this website if you don't. Your whole household joins the same way.

3

Watch from anywhere

Phone, tablet, laptop. Live video and sound, talk back, and an alert only when you're truly needed. The rest of the night is yours.

The day, written down

Come back to a story, not a scrollbar

Wake up to the story of the night instead of worrying about it: how long she slept, when the barking finally stopped, whether your dad was up in the small hours. The cry that mattered, the noise that didn't. Nothing to scrub through. Just the day, written down kindly.

  • Sleep stretches, wakings, and feeds on one line
  • Cry episodes with how long and how hard
  • Smiles and zoomies saved as moments, automatically

Live, in one tap

See, hear, and answer back

One tap and you're in the room: crisp live video with sound, on your phone or right here in the browser. Hold Talk and your voice arrives on the other side, warm and immediate: settle her, tell the dog off, tell your dad you're on your way. Start the sound machine without opening the door.

  • Live video over WiFi or 4G, end to end encrypted
  • Two way talk, push to speak
  • White, pink, and brown noise, controlled remotely

Everything a monitor should do

Built in, not bolted on

Cry, bark and fall alerts

Trained models on the monitor itself tell a cry from a fan, a bark from the TV, and a fall from a stumble.

Live video anywhere

Streams device to device, home or away, and easy on your eyes at 3am.

Two way talk

Soothe with your voice from the sofa, the office, or the train.

Day timeline

Sleep, cries, feeds, and visits, written down as they happen.

Moments

Smiles, zoomies, and firsts saved automatically, kept on your devices.

Sound machine

White, pink, or brown noise on the monitor, remote controlled.

Multi camera

Nursery, hallway, front door: every room on one home screen.

Household sharing

Partner, grandparents, a sitter: each invited with a code, each removable.

Alerts that matter

A cry alert is a cry, not a passing truck. Snooze it when you're in the room.

Day and night

Screen dimming, warm nightlight, and low light viewing for dark rooms.

Device health

Battery, charging, storage, and camera health for every monitor, at a glance.

36 languages

The whole app, translated with care, not machine filler.

Who it watches

One app, four kinds of watching

A pet isn't a baby, and a front door isn't a grandparent. nuvio changes what it looks for, what it says, and when it speaks up, depending on who the camera is for.

Privacy is the architecture, not a setting

Most camera apps upload your home to their cloud and sell you access to your own footage. nuvio is built the other way around, so you never have to wonder who else can see inside your home.

  • End to end encrypted video. Streams go device to device. Even our relay only ever carries encrypted packets it cannot read.
  • AI on the monitor. The model that hears a cry runs on the device. Your audio never leaves the room to be understood.
  • Nothing recorded upstream. Our servers carry a heartbeat and your alerts. There is no footage archive to breach, because there is no footage.
  • You hold the guest list. Every watching device is named on the monitor and removable in one tap.

FAQ

Do I need to buy a camera?

No. Any spare iPhone, iPad, or Android phone becomes the monitor. If it can run apps, it can watch the room tonight.

Where does my video go?

From your monitor to your screen, encrypted, and nowhere else. There's no cloud recording and no server that stores frames. When a direct connection isn't possible, the stream passes through a relay that forwards encrypted packets it can't read.

Does it work away from home?

Yes, with Anywhere. Home works on the same Wi-Fi as your monitor. Anywhere works on any Wi-Fi or mobile network, in the app or a browser.

Who can watch my camera?

Only devices you approve with a single use code that expires in ten minutes. Every phone, tablet, and browser in your household is listed on the monitor, and any of them can be removed in one tap.

What happens if the internet drops?

On home WiFi, monitoring and alerts keep working device to device. The monitor itself never depends on a server to hear a cry.

What does it cost?

Anywhere is free for the first 7 days. No payment method. No automatic renewal. Then Home is $1.99 a month or $19.99 a year. Anywhere is $3.99 a month or $39.99 a year. There is no fee per camera.

Set it up tonight

Ten minutes from drawer to first watch. Then put your feet up; it'll tell you if you're needed.
