Its main innovation is that you can monitor your baby wirelessly using your iPhone, iPod or iPad without the need for additional screens or other handheld devices. The Withings Smart Baby Monitor connects to your iOS device via Wi-Fi, Ethernet or Bluetooth and provided you have an internet connection you can even monitor your baby from anywhere in the world.
The device is also equipped with an extensive range of other practical features.

Moreover it offers crystal clear sound, detects movement and noise, has sensors to monitor the temperature and humidity in the room, can send you four different types of alerts, has a built in loudspeaker to play lullabies and its controllable LED color changing light acts as a soothing night light. Quite possibly THE most advanced baby monitor system available today.
Unlike traditional baby monitors with a parent alert and a child unit, the Withings Smart Baby Monitor operates with the latest technological improvements allowing control from a smartphone application. It comes with a free iOS application available from the App Store: compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and 3 accounts can access the Smart Baby Monitor simultaneously, so both parents and a nanny can all be watching baby, if need be.
You can set up automatic alerts to warn you about sleep disruption problems with your child. You can activate a motion detector alert if your child shows extensive fidgeting patterns. You can also be notified of the child’s noises and cries. Factors like temperature and humidity in the child’s room are also monitored. Just chose your alert type according to your requirements.
If you get an alert with the PTZ technology (Pan-Tilt-Zoom), you can virtually move around the baby’s room. Just slide your finger like you would on a web page to get a full view of your child’s safety. The 3 megapixel video sensor gives you an impressive picture quality drawing on the screen resolution on your iPhone. The wide-angle lens allows you to monitor your child at all times without having to move the baby phone to 90° angle.
