The Tommee Tippee DreamSense Smart Baby Monitor is a comprehensive system designed to help parents monitor their baby's sleep and environment, providing reassurance and insights into sleep patterns. The system comprises a baby monitor (camera) and a parent pod, both working in conjunction with the Tommee Tippee app for enhanced functionality.
Function Description:
The core function of the DreamSense Smart Baby Monitor is to provide real-time monitoring of a baby's sleeping environment. The baby monitor (camera) offers a high-definition, wide-angle view of the nursery, including night vision capabilities. It's equipped with sensors to detect sound, humidity, temperature, and light, and is designed to differentiate between external noises (like a car horn) and the baby crying. This allows parents to understand the context of disturbances. The parent pod acts as a notification hub, alerting parents to disturbances through coloured light and sound. It filters information based on user-defined "comfort zones," ensuring that parents are only notified of events that matter to them. The system can be used "offline" as a sound monitor, but pairing with the Tommee Tippee app unlocks video monitoring, two-way talk, snapshot features, disturbance tracking, and customisation of comfort zones. The app also provides sleep analysis, allowing parents to track trends in their baby's sleep patterns and environmental changes.
