THE CAMERA CATCHES IT ALL continued

Who can it be now?

An alternative to a multiple camera setup that’s worth considering is a video doorbell. These clever devices work as a traditional doorbell but have a camera and recordable video capability, allowing you to interact with whoever is at the door whether you’re at home or not. Activity alerts and live feed video can be accessed from a smartphone or other connected displays like a hub or smart TV. They also come wireless (battery powered) and wired, giving you options for both permanent and temporary installation.

KEEPING A WATCHFUL EYE ON BABY An essential tech purchase for the nursery, a baby monitor is a parent and carer’s best friend for peace of mind. Connected to the home network, these portable devices can be positioned wherever bub is sleeping. This means that whoever’s home with the baby can keep an eye – and ear – on what’s happening in the nursery.

newborns being light sleepers, the last thing you want is for a monitoring device to disturb them. This one utilises infrared night vision, so not only will baby continue to sleep soundly, you’ll be able to see more than just a shape in the dark.

Upping the ante for keeping watch over your baby is the eufy Baby S340 Smart Sock Baby Monitor with Camera . Delivering all the top-line features of the Wi-Fi 2K Baby Monitor, it adds an extra layer of monitoring and security via a Smart Sock that’s adjustable for babies aged zero to 18 months, is comfy and easy to wear (and, crucially, easy to wash), and boasts a healthy 24-hour battery

life. The Smart Sock allows carers to closely monitor baby’s wellness via their sleep patterns, as well as key stats like heart rate and blood oxygen levels over periods of 48 hours, that’s delivered as a daily report. And should these vitals change, or if bub manages to wriggle out of the sock, you can receive alerts direct to your phone. Between

can’t hear them calling, eufy will let you know. The handy eufy Baby app also offers two-way talk

via the microphone-equipped main unit, and, as it should be, security is a top priority. As such, the eufy 2K Baby Monitor only stores data locally, but can be accessed through the app from anywhere using rock solid AES 128-bit encryption.
