Watches with remote microphone activation

Remote microphone control

— the ability to remotely turn on the microphone on children's smartwatches, after which the device will transmit the sound to the parent's phone.

This feature allows the parent to hear what is happening around the child without calling and generally not giving themself away to others. Most often, it is used to dispel or confirm suspicions in ambiguous situations — when it is too early to raise an alarm, but it will not hurt to check the situation.
