Could you build this?
Partial A prototype can use WebRTC, but a robust baby monitor requires resilient low-latency streaming, background audio reliability, and NAT traversal across diverse mobile networks.
What it would actually take: The stack would involve native Android (Kotlin/Java) or Flutter integrated with WebRTC, STUN/TURN infrastructure (such as Coturn), and robust foreground service management to keep audio streaming alive when phones lock. The hardest engineering challenges are handling battery optimization kills, aggressive OS background execution limits, and instant reconnection over flaky Wi-Fi/cellular handoffs.
