Cry detection is Owlet's first smart notification, specifically letting you know when baby is crying, versus any other sound that may occur in Baby's room. By differentiating between "sounds" and "cries," Cam 2 helps parents understand if Baby is simply a little fussy, or may need assistance getting back to sleep. Just like adults, babies don't typically resort to crying immediately. By notifying parents about the different types of sounds in the room, Cam 2 helps parents understand if baby is extremely uncomfortable or just making typical Baby sounds. All notifications from the Cam 2 have settings that allow you to adjust them to your individual preferences. If you're getting too many notifications (or not enough) based on your baby’s noise activity, you can adjust the sensitivity level to specifically match your family’s needs.
