CuboAi Smart Baby Monitor 3: Road Test
This AI-equipped device is “the world’s smartest baby monitor”, CuboAI says. You’ll hardly believe some of the things it can do.
WHAT IS IT? Great news for over-anxious helicopter parents! It’s “the world’s smartest baby monitor”, equipped with artificial intelligence and a 2.5K QHD camera.
WHAT CAN IT DO? It will detect when the baby cries, coughs, rolls over or has its face covered, and send an automatic alert to your phone. It also has an “industry first” Growth Tracking Feature to monitor and document developmental milestones, a three-day playback feature, and a Sleep Analytics function in the accompanying app.
HMMM. IT SOUNDS A BIT WEIRD AND ORWELLIAN. Hold on, I haven’t even told you about the “AI-scheduled lullabies” yet! Or how the AI will capture “special moments” (head lifts, smiles, giggles etc) and curate them in a digital scrapbook.
ALTERNATIVELY, YOU COULD DO ALL THIS STUFF YOURSELF.YOU KNOW, IT’S CALLED PARENTING. Now don’t be judgy: we all have busy lives. And if you miss your baby’s first words, rest assured, the monitor won’t. You just have to hope the kid doesn’t look up at the beady eye of that 2.5K QHD camera and say, “Mama.”
