Claim Text:
1. A system for monitoring a baby, the system comprising: a camera configured at a predefined working point above a crib to obtain visual output signals from the predefined working point, the camera comprising: a camera housing including a lens, infrared light emitting diodes (IR LED) lights, a sensor, and power and data cabling; wherein the camera utilizes infrared (IR) filters to filter IR light; wherein the IR LED lights include a wavelength of approximately 850 nm to 940 nm such that a red glare is not visible to a baby lying under the camera; wherein the camera housing further includes a lens mount operable for positioning with a rotational adjustment along a horizontal axis relative to the crib; wherein the camera housing is configured to allow the camera to rotate relative to the upper arm; wherein the sensor is configured on the camera to sense intensity of ambient light and infrared light from the IR LED lights; wherein the IR LED light are configured by a processor based on the intensity of ambient light and infrared light from the IR LED lights; and a mount including: an upper arm connected to the camera housing, the upper arm including a first interior conduit configured to receive the power and data cabling of the camera housing; a lower arm connected to the upper arm, the lower arm including a second interior conduit configured to receive the power and the data cabling of the camera housing from the upper arm; and a an attachment configured to attach the mount at the predefined working point above the crib; and a network interface controller configured to: transfer the visual output signals from the predefined working point to an analysis server, the analysis server configured to perform computer vision and machine learning analysis on the visual output signals from the predefined working point, compare the visual output signals and the computer vision and machine learning analysis to comparative data from a database including visual output signals associated with a plurality of babies and computer vision and machine learning analysis of the visual output signals associated with the plurality of babies, determine one or more baby alert events based on the comparison, and transmit messages that identify the determined one or more baby alert events to client devices, wherein the visual output signals associated with the plurality of babies were transferred from one or more second cameras each being configured to attach at one or more second predefined working points above one or more second cribs in uniformity with the predefined working point above the crib of the camera.
