Claim 7:
8. The multi-purpose video monitoring camera as in claim 7, wherein the microprocessor further comprises a baby presence detection module which is configured to:
(1) obtain input from the CMOS video camera;
(2) perform face recognition on the input obtained in (1) to determine if a baby is present in the field of view of the CMOS video camera;
(3) if it is determined from (2) that a baby is present in the field of view of the CMOS video camera, confirm baby presence;
(4) if it is determined from (2) that a baby is not present in the field of view of the CMOS video camera, obtain input from the thermographic video camera to identify a human head region in the field of view of the thermographic video camera;
(5) perform face recognition on the input obtained in (1) at a region corresponding to the human head region in the field of view of the thermographic video camera to determine if a baby is present in the field of view of the CMOS video camera;
(6) if it is determined from (5) that a baby is present in the field of view of the CMOS video camera, confirm baby presence;
(7) if it is determined from (5) that a baby is not present in the field of view of the CMOS video camera, confirm baby absence;
(8) if baby presence is confirmed, update check-in/check-out status as check-in;
(9) if baby absence is confirmed, update check-in/check-out status as check-out.
