The smart baby monitoring device manufacturers are investing in the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology with their offerings. The integration of AI confers various intelligent features to the systems, such as baby cry detection, humidity and temperature measurements, and smart alerts, along with advanced speaker and microphone competencies for recording, singing, or storytelling; it also allows the replay of the recordings with high quality.

For instance, KamiBaby integrates edge computing technology with its baby monitors, which record the moments and share them with people who have access to the system. The integration of such advanced technologies with smart home devices allows parents to monitor their baby on devices run by Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa that are equipped with displays. Other features of KamiBaby devices include sleep summary of baby, live stream video sharing, two-way talk, 360-degree high-quality speakers, temperature and humidity sensors, built-in night light, kami cloud and SD card storage, and FHD 1080P premium image quality.
