What is a remote listening or One-Way Audio app?
A remote listening or ambient listening feature uses a connected device's microphone to capture sounds around it. FamiSafe One-Way Audio lets a parent start a surrounding-audio recording from a linked child's Android device and review the generated audio from the parent side.
