To activate "Background Audio Monitoring", the phone and camera must be connected to the same Wi-Fi router.

Kindly note: Background monitoring should be possible only over the same WiFi network and unfortunately not possible over mobile internet (3G/4G) as it would be remote streaming.

Once the above feature is turned ON, it will let you hear the baby from the app in local mode even when the app is minimized or running in the background.
