All Features in Detail

Features from A–Z Description
Acoustic monitoring The room with the infant is acoustically monitored by BabyPhone per default. If a certain noise level (configurable) is exceeded in the room, an alarm is triggered.
Check-in / Check-out BabyPhone monitoring can be set for this room as soon as a cabin is checked in. On check-out, all active BabyPhone monitoring is terminated or deleted. Restarting monitoring is no longer possible.
Configuration BabyPhone can be configured as follows: Volume threshold, measurement period, pause between alarms, alarm delay when initiating monitoring, and many more.
Deployment The BabyPhone module is licensed as an optional module and uploaded to the Callisto platform during the initial installation with the Cruise or Hotel package. Prepared as an appliance image (OVA), the Callisto system can be installed on any virtual machine or physical server.
Global number plan (E.164 support) E.164 numbers supported.
green-IT Lowest resource requirements in the industry with the highest performance: 2 to 8 CPUs, 2 to 6 GB RAM, 80 GB HD, up to max. 1’000 parallel calls per image.
High Availability Yes
Languages BabyPhone is multilingual, for the IVR, for the announcements, and the BabyPhone smartphone application. The language is set during check-in and for the smartphone application via the output process.
PMS support BabyPhone receives all necessary information for the service at check-in/out from the corresponding PMS. At check-in, BabyPhone monitoring can be set for this room. At check-out, all active BabyPhone monitoring is terminated or deleted. It is no longer possible to restart monitoring.
Provisioning Manually or automatically from Cisco UCM through AXL or Microsoft AD,
LDAP/OpenLDAP system and CSV files. Web services (REST) supported.
QR-Code If the BabyPhone smartphone application is used, the “room to smartphone” assignment process can be simplified: Enter the room number in the Callisto web interface, scan the QR code with the smartphone and hand the device to the guest.

Reliability Apart from the stability of the Callisto system, the Callisto system can be designed to be highly available.
Reporting BabyPhone reporting gives a comprehensive overview of the individual events, when, who, how surveillance was set-up, alerted, listened in, ended surveillance, or if something went wrong in the process. Corresponding search options are available.
Room monitoring The room with the infant is acoustically monitored by BabyPhone per default. If a certain noise level (configurable) is exceeded in the room, an alarm is triggered. Optionally, suppose a video camera is available in the room, and the Callisto BabyPhone app is used. In that case, the room can then also be observed via video in the event of an alarm or a call.
Scalability Up to 960 parallel calls on one Callisto appliance. Additional instances supported. Unlimited number of Callisto BabyPhone users. Parallel monitoring depends on the number of available lines or the maximum number of monitoring configured in BabyPhone at the time of the monitoring order.
Security https, SIPS, password and PIN security, appliance security, integrated firewall
Smartphones The Callisto BabyPhone application significantly extends the functionality of BabyPhone. In particular, simpler processes and additional security are available. Currently, Android smartphones are supported, iOS on request.

Callisto BabyPhone – Your best choice

Offer extra service

Offer guests something more than the competitor and support parents with the BabyPhone service to be able to enjoy a carefree evening.

Simple introduction

The fast and simple set-up of the Callisto BabyPhone module and the easy distribution of the BabyPhone smartphone app through the Mobile Device Management (MDM) system facilitates introducing the offer to parents.

Efficient processes

The well-designed, efficient processes for issuing BabyPhone mobile phones through the reception and for parents to activate the BabyPhone service have made the service very popular with staff and users.

Vacations for you and your baby

Unforgettable vacations are closely related to the experiences. Therefore, give active parents the additional freedom for adventures with the Callisto BabyPhone service. And this is how it works:

  1. Cruise: Issue of a mobile phone accessible from the local telephony system to the parents, preferably a smartphone with the Callisto BabyPhone Mobile application.
    Hotel: Registration of parents’ mobile phone in Callisto BabyPhone (may generate external costs) or issuance of a mobile phone accessible from the local telephony system to the parents, preferably a smartphone with the Callisto BabyPhone Mobile application.
  2. Without BabyPhone Mobile app: The parents dial the Callisto BabyPhone number from the room phone, enter the call number of the mobile phone received, place the handset near the baby and quickly leave the room.
    With BabyPhone Mobile app: Parents start monitoring in the BabyPhone Mobile app, answer the call that has now been started on the room telephone, place the handset as close to the baby as possible, and quickly leave the room.
  3. The room monitoring is now active, and parents have a pre-configured time (which the administrator can flexibly change) for leaving the room. As soon as the level of the set acoustic threshold in the room exceeds, BabyPhone calls the parents’ mobile phone, who can now listen directly into the room (optionally with video).
  4. If parents would like to listen to the room briefly, they can do so with the mobile phone or BabyPhone app. The baby will not be disturbed by the ringing of the phone.
  5. The BabyPhone service can be terminated by hanging up the handset on the room telephone or through the BabyPhone app.

As long as the parents do not receive a call on the BabyPhone mobile phone, they can fully enjoy their evening thanks to BabyPhone.

Safe operation is essential

A baby monitoring app must properly work and be safe. That is why Callisto BabyPhone also provides additional security checks. For example, the BabyPhone mobile app constantly monitors the WLAN connection. An acoustic alarm with visual indication is triggered as soon as the connection is interrupted. If Callisto cannot reach a mobile phone in the event of an alarm, attempts are made until the call is answered. If the monitoring connection between the room and Callisto is disconnected for any reason, parents will receive a notification that the service has been deactivated. Additional checks and alerting actions make Callisto BabyPhone one of the safest BabyPhone applications on the market.

Save reporting

If ever a guest contacts the front desk with a specific question, detailed BabyPhone reporting is available to the staff. Every single action that has been performed for each monitoring is recorded in the reporting. The following entries are visible:

  • the executing call number
  • the action itself
  • the time of the action
  • the result of the action
  • the room number

With this information, each step of the monitoring can be traced and any open points of the guest can be resolved.
