Abstract
A video monitoring system includes a camera head, including an infrared illumination source and an image sensor. A mount is configured to hold the camera head in a fixed location and orientation above a crib, so that the image sensor captures images of the crib and an intervention region adjacent to the crib from a fixed perspective.
Claims26
A video monitoring system, comprising:
- a camera head, comprising an infrared illumination source and an image sensor, wherein the camera head is configured to transmit video signals generated by the image sensor over a network;
- a mount, which is configured to hold the camera head above a crib, so that the image sensor captures images of the crib;
- and
- a server, which is configured to receive the video signals and analyze the images so as to extract behavioral information regarding sleep patterns of an infant in the crib and provide personalized tips via a client device to a caregiver of the infant,
- wherein the server is configured to output to the client device a summary in a graphical form, which indicates states of sleep behavior of the infant and visits by the caregiver and respective periods of time during which the states occurred.
