Questions

Does it cost anything?

It’s free and unlimited over your own Wi‑Fi. Watching from away from home is a paid option, because that traffic travels through a relay.

Will it wake me up?

Yes. When your baby cries, Plinco places a real call to your phone, loud enough to wake you. It can play a lullaby first, before anyone is woken.

Is the video private?

On your home Wi‑Fi the video goes straight between your two phones. Nothing leaves your home.

Will an old phone overheat?

Plinco is built for older phones. It watches the phone’s temperature through the night and turns the video down when the phone warms up.
