Abstract
A video-enabled baby monitoring system including at least two separate units, and typically at least three separate units. The first unit is a transmitter with a camera feature which captures motion and includes microprocessors which generate a series of video signal codes which are transmitted at specific radio frequencies to a dedicated receiver unit. The transmitter unit also includes an infrared light source and a sound capture source, where the sound capture source generates sound signal codes. The second unit is a receiver unit with a display screen, a video-off button and frequently a total power off button. A third unit which provides for enhanced, convenient data transfer from the transmitter unit may be selected from a number of adaptor docking stations; or a smart phone platform; or a docking cradle with Wi Fi capability.
