Baby Monitoring System using IoT and Node MCU
ABSTRACT
This paper presents an idea to design a Smart Cradle System using IOT which will help the parents to monitor their child even if they are away from home & detect every activity of the Baby from any distant corner of the world. It is an innovative, smart & protective Cradle System to nurture an infant in an efficient way. This system considers all the minute details required for the care & protection of the Baby in the cradle. The design of smartness & innovation comes with the use of technologies/methodologies which include the Internet of Things (IoT) (Modules like Arduino UNO, Humidity & Temperature sensing, etc..,), Cry Detecting Mechanism, Live Video Surveillance, Cloud Computing (Data Storage) & User Friendly Web application(for User Controls). In order to detect each & every activity of the Baby, different Sensors/Modules are attached to the Cradle: Humidity & Temperature Sensing Module for detection of Wetness of the bed, A Camera on top of the Cradle for live video footage & Cry Detection Circuit to analyze Cry Patterns. All the data which has been taken from the sensors/modules will be stored in Cloud? & analyzed at regular intervals. A Health Algorithm is applied to these datasets to get information about the body conditions which is helpful as any regular symptoms of a disease can be identified easily.
INTRODUCTION
As we are very well familiar with the hurdles faced by Parents to nurture their infants and especially in case both the parents are working. To give 24 hours of time in such cases is next to impossible. Thus, we need to develop something unique that can help Parents to have continuous surveillance/watch on the Baby/Infant and can notify about the same.
Thus, we have come up with an idea to design a Smart Cradle System using IOT which will help the parents to monitor their child even if they are away from home & detect every activity of the Baby from any distant corner of the world.
EXISTING SYSTEM
In this existing system, sensors are used to know the condition of the baby but that will be restricted to a particular area where if any problem parents have to be in that area and have to check the condition of the baby manually.
DISADVANTAGE
- It does not allow parents to hear the baby’s voice and talk to them.
- It is suitable just for babies that are one year old or younger.
- Virtually every baby monitor can be hacked. But the type of?monitor?that you use will greatly determine how hard or easy it is for a hacker to do so. Internet-connected baby monitors are indeed potentially vulnerable to hackers anywhere on earth, and you wouldn’t want to invite them into your child’s
PROPOSED SYSTEM:
In this proposed system, both sensors and forecasting cloud is used, so that the resulting data has high accuracy about the children’s condition, also we are using surveillance of the children using the camera from a Wide Area Network (WAN) which can be viewed on the Web Application and also can control the situation from a remote area anywhere from the world.
ADVANTAGES:
- For babies with health issues, a visual baby monitor can help parents monitor illness signs and symptoms.
- No more sneaking into the nursery to check on the baby and inadvertently waking them up
- Extended monitor range so you can check on the child from anywhere in your house

BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION
- In this project, we use a DHT-11 sensor for sensing both Temperature & Humidity. It is interfaced with Arduino Uno. It is used to detect the wetness of the bed in this project
- Then the camera? is interfaced with Arduino Uno? for? Monitoring baby’s activity
- The sound sensor is interfaced with Arduino Uno? for? sensing? baby is crying or? sleeping
- Wi-Fi module is interfaced with Arduino Uno for? uploading? baby’s status through the web page
