IOT Based Baby Monitoring System for Smart Cradle

The current number of working mothers has greatly increased. Subsequently, baby care has become a daily challenge for many families. Thus, most parents send their babies to their grandparents’ house or to baby care houses. However, the parents cannot continuously monitor their babies’ conditions either in normal or abnormal situations. Therefore, an Internet of Things-based Baby Monitoring System (IoT-BBMS) is proposed as an efficient and low-cost IoT-based system for monitoring in real time. We also proposed a new algorithm for our system that plays a key role in providing better baby care while parents are away. Our project focuses on the relevant problems faced by parent in monitoring and nurturing their child while working. This project aims at reducing the challenges faced by parent by developing an IOT based Smart Cradle Monitoring System that will assist Parent in monitoring their child. This cradle is equipped with a swinging mechanism which swings automatically on detection of baby crying sound. This proposed smart cradle has been integrated with a camera to provide continuous surveillance to parents. An arduino, sound sensors, wetness sensor, swinging mechanism along with other electronic components are used to upgrade existing cradle to meet the Present day requirements. This project is quite efficient and reliable which can deliver result better than conventional cradle.
