LAS VEGAS -- Withings Smart Baby Monitor almost makes it worth having a baby, just so you can play with it. The cute white block goes way further than the traditional dumb walkie-talkie style monitors of old. In fact, it's almost like a remote control for your kid.
Fold the cube open and you'll see the main meat of the device: a 3MP video camera, with infra-red LED lamp for night-vision. This and a microphone beam sounds and pictures to your smartphone or computer so you can spy on junior (or at least check that he's doing OK). There's also a speaker so you can soothe him back to sleep without leaving the sofa and that glass of whisky you're nursing. You can pipe music to the speakers, too, to soothe baby to sleep.
The monitor also has an array of sensors to check temperature, humidity and movement, and you can set an alarm to alert you if any of these go out of a range of your choosing. The monitor hooks up to the phone via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or even a wire.
The Withings Smart Baby Monitor will be in stores this March, price tba.
