The Chillax Baby Mood AI Smart Monitor focuses on privacy

Chillax, an innovative manufacturer in the home and family sector, has announced its new Baby Mood AI Smart Monitor at CES 2022. The Baby Mood AI is a baby monitor that uses AI and machine learning to ensure that your babies are sleeping safe and sound.

The Baby Mood AI is a new baby monitor that parents created for parents. Its main features are its unique design and its efficiency in detecting when your baby was rolled over or has its face covered. The baby monitor has a spherical base with a webcam attached by a flexible corded neck that allows you to place the camera at virtually any angle.

The real draws to the Baby Mood AI are all of its software and AI features. It has covered face and rollover detection, breathing rate detection, and a soother and sleep trainer. These features mean the Baby Mood AI can help your baby sleep better and give you peace of mind.

As far as the hardware presented on the Baby Mood AI, we first see a 1080p HD camera with infrared night vision. There is a privacy mode switch on the camera that cuts external Wi-Fi to the device and an LED dimmer switch. There are also LEDs in the base to help soothe your baby to sleep and a touch panel to help control the monitor. There’s a speaker and 360 rotation built-in. Also, the Baby Mood AI comes with its own 4.3-inch external display called the parental unit to view what the camera is seeing.

There are sleep trainer and soother options within the ChillaxCare app. Parents can customize the base’s hues to help train their baby to wake, relax, and sleep during certain shades. Parents can also set sound programs to help soothe when their child is emotionally distraught. The lights and sound options help parents continue using the Baby Mood AI as their child grows from baby to toddler.

You can also view live what the monitor is showing or check recordings or previous activities using the app. The app will also show the temperature and humidity in the room and will send notifications for any activity that is currently happening. In addition, parents can share their recordings with friends and family and fine-tune exactly what portions of activity will be shared with others. The app and monitor use bank-grade encryption to keep content secure.

Chillax will be selling the Baby Mood AI Smart Monitor on its website and through Amazon for $499. The monitor will be available in February 2022.

Amazon brings Matter support to several smart home devices
A collection of Matter-enabed Amazon devices.

At CES 2022, Amazon announced that it is adding Frustration-Free Setup to several smart home devices supporting Matter. Last year, Amazon announced that Matter support would be coming to most Echo devices and that the Echo 4th gen and eero devices would work as Matter Thread border routers. The Frustration-Free Setup is part of the matter specification.

Matter is a new smart home protocol that allows for advanced interoperability between different manufacturers. Think of Matter as a way for your Amazon Echo device to communicate with your Google Nest device, all the while talking to your Homepod Mini fast and efficiently. Once Matter starts becoming more widely available, there will be less pressure on your smart home to be ruled by one manufacturer and it will allow you to customize your smart devices for your unique needs. With companies such as Google, Apple, and Amazon behind the movement, you can be sure that this protocol will become a staple in smart home tech.

Wemo expands its home security lineup with a smart video doorbell
The Wemo Video Doorbell works with HomeKit Secure Video.

Wemo is known for easy-to-use smart home products, but its lineup has always been on the smaller side compared to the competition. The Wemo Smart Plug has earned a spot on our list of best smart plugs, but the company never focused heavily on home security -- until now. Today at CES 2022, Wemo announced the Wemo Smart Video Doorbell.

This video doorbell has a 178-degree field of view combined with a 4-megapixel camera. Throw in the enhanced night vision and zoom functionality, and you can keep an eye on what's happening not just at your door, but in your yard, too. The Wemo Smart Video Doorbell works exclusively with HomeKit Secure Video, which also means it's easy to set up and manage through the Home App.
