Smart Infant Monitoring System

Abstract

In the contemporary world, where digitization has made the life of human beings easy and comfortable, it has also introduced certain challenges when it comes to dealing with family life. Parents, especially the working-class, faces one of the most significant challenges in the form of baby care. They are unable to observe their infants all the time. Infant monitors solve this problem by reassuring such parents that their babies are safe. Although, there are many infant monitors available in the market but many of them do not fulfill the desired requirements. The idea of this paper is to design a smart infant monitoring system that would provide high quality features such as live audio/ video streaming, recording audio, cry detection, emotion detection, temperature, and humidity sensing and determining whether the baby is asleep/ awake. The proposed system simplifies the process of infant monitoring by using Raspberry Pi. Finally, the system is tested, and its effectiveness is checked by comparing it with the available systems.
