Frequently asked questions
Does Pevu need internet?
No. The two devices connect directly through your WiFi. The router doesn’t need an internet connection. There is no cloud server in between, so Pevu keeps working even when the internet is down.
What happens if the connection drops?
Exactly what should: you see a red alert across the whole screen with the time it dropped, and a loud alarm overrides silent mode and Do Not Disturb. Pevu then reconnects automatically, usually in under ten seconds.
Can someone on the same Wi-Fi watch?
No. The stream is encrypted end to end, and at pairing your device pins the counterpart’s cryptographic fingerprint from the QR code. A stranger’s device cannot slip into the middle, not even on the same network.
Does an iPhone work as the nursery unit?
Yes. With video the screen stays on (an Apple rule), and Pevu dims it automatically. Sound only runs even when locked. An Android device fits the nursery best, since it streams with the screen off.
Does Pevu record?
Never. No recordings, no cloud, no account, no analytics. What happens at night stays on your devices. Technically it cannot be any other way.
Does Pevu work on the road, say in a hotel?
Yes. An iPhone with a SIM card shares its Personal Hotspot, or soon an Android device creates its own small network with a random password. Either way: no router, no internet. The second device joins via QR code. (Travel mode is part of Pevu Full.)
What does Pevu Full cost?
You choose: 3.99 € per month, 19.99 € per year with the first 7 days free, or 29.99 € once for forever. Every option covers both devices of your household. Audio monitoring with all alarms stays free forever.
Does one plan really cover both devices?
Yes. You pay on one device; the next time your two devices connect, the other one unlocks by itself. That works between iPhone and iPad today, and soon with Android too. Nothing to log in to, no code to type.
How do I cancel?
In the subscription settings of the App Store or Google Play, like any other subscription. Pevu never charges you directly and cannot see your payment details.
Which languages does Pevu speak?
The app is available in 21 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, Czech, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Romanian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Arabic.
