For Android, there's a project called Haven [1] made by Edward Snowden. It doesn't use fancy AI, but it does monitor the camera, mic, and other sensors for changes, and sends notifications via Signal.

Smartphones in the 21st century have become surveillance devices for unaccountable corporations, and governments by extension. It's cathartic to see that capability being put into the common individual's hands.
Thank you, I've been looking for a privacy-first baby monitor app for Android, and it looks like Haven was inadvertently made into one of the best options [1].
