HushCam turns two of your devices into a private baby monitor. One device watches and listens; the other receives. The audio and video are end-to-end encrypted and travel directly between your devices. No one in the middle can see or hear your child, not even us. Free. No ads. No subscriptions. No accounts to create. No data collected. Optional tips if you would like to support development. THREE MONITORING MODES - Audio only. The camera never streams. The microphone listens for sound and the receiver shows live audio levels. Lowest battery and data cost. Useful when you only want to hear your baby. - VOX triggered (default). The camera wakes the moment HushCam hears a sound, then sleeps again after a chosen period of silence. Battery friendly. The right mode for most parents most of the time. - Always on. The camera streams continuously, with both sound detection and on-device motion detection running. Higher battery cost. Useful beyond baby monitoring: pets, eldercare, a workshop, a front door. PAIRING IS A QR CODE Place the watching device near the baby. Open HushCam on the receiving device, scan the QR code shown by the watcher, and the connection is up. There is no signup, no email, no password. The pairing is short-lived and tied to that single session. PRIVACY IS THE PRODUCT - End-to-end encrypted with the same DTLS-SRTP standard browsers use for video calls. The keys never leave your devices. - No analytics, no tracking, no advertising SDKs, no third-party telemetry. - Sound and motion detection both run on-device. Nothing about your child is analyzed in the cloud. - HushCam contacts only two services: a small signaling service that helps your two devices find each other, and an optional encrypted relay if your network blocks direct connections. Neither service can decrypt your audio or video. Source for both is auditable. - The App Store privacy label says "Data Not Collected." That stays true. QUIET TRANSMITTER The watching device makes no sound. No chimes, no beeps, no haptics. Every alert happens on the receiver. Before you arm, HushCam reminds you to silence the side switch on the watcher and to plug it in if the battery is low. WEB RECEIVER If you do not want to install the app on the receiving device, you can use any modern browser at hushcam.net/pair. Same encryption, same pairing flow. Useful when the receiver is a laptop or a tablet you do not control. USE BEYOND BABY MONITORING A two-device intercom that respects your privacy works for more than babies. Use HushCam for naps, for a sleeping toddler, for a pet at home while you are at the office, for an elderly relative who wants someone to check in, or for any room you want a quiet eye on. WHAT HUSHCAM IS NOT - Not a recording app. Nothing is saved to the cloud. - Not a smart-home camera. There is no always-listening assistant, no voice control, no third-party integrations. - Not a multi-camera dashboard. One pair at a time. - Not a paid app dressed up as free. There is no premium tier waiting to be unlocked. REQUIREMENTS - Two devices. Both can be iPhones or iPads running iOS 16 or later. The receiver can also be a desktop or laptop browser. - Both devices need internet access. A local network is fine; cellular works; mixed networks work. We built HushCam because every baby monitor app we tried wanted an account, a subscription, or our family's audio routed through someone else's servers. We did not want any of those things. We assume you do not either. If you find a bug or want to suggest a feature, use Send feedback in Settings. It goes straight to the developer. ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 1.3 — 2026-09-01 v1.3 - Seven new languages. - HushCam now speaks Ukrainian, Croatian, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Greek, and Traditional Chinese, including the spoken safety prompts on the receiver. - Simplified Chinese: the safety settings, the disclaimer, and the spoken alerts are now translated too. - Pairing error messages are now translated in every language. Monitoring itself is unchanged. HushCam still collects no data, and the App Store privacy label still says "Data Not Collected". ### 1.2 — 2026-08-25 v1.2 - Feedback and an optional tip jar. - Send feedback straight from Settings. Pick a category, write a message, and check exactly what gets sent before sending. No name, account, or device identifier is attached. - An optional tip jar for anyone who wants to help cover the signaling and relay servers. Tips unlock nothing, and no feature depends on them. - The receiver now shows a quiet heart in the toolbar, and a small support card after you have used HushCam a few times. Dismiss it once and it stays gone. Monitoring itself is unchanged. HushCam still collects no data, and the App Store privacy label still says "Data Not Collected". ### 1.1 — 2026-05-28 v1.1 - Security upgrade. - Devices now pin each other's identity on first pair, so a leaked QR code can no longer impersonate the transmitter. - The pairing key rotates after the first successful pair, and the original is consumed on the signaling server. - Both apps detect when the other phone is on a newer HushCam version and show a clear "Update" prompt. - Receiver: hold time for audio mute during silence is now adjustable up to 60 seconds. - The "connection lost" voice alarm no longer triggers before the first successful pair. Existing pairings continue to work; once both phones are upgraded to 1.1 you will be asked to pair again so each side can pin the other. ### 1.0 — 2026-05-17 No release notes. ## More apps by Jan Krpes - [AlcoBot](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/alcobot/id6757278623) All apps by Jan Krpes: https://appshunter.io/developer/1865773866 ## Related topics [bebcare iq](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/bebcare-iq) · [bonoch baby](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/bonoch-baby) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
