To keep baby safe


Home and Community Options uses videos, sensors and intercom systems to remotely monitor certain low-risk clients while they sleep at night, in order to cut back on operating costs. “I used the analogy of a baby monitor to help (AFSCME) understand how this technology would work,” said Drazkowski. “Obviously, they worked as hard as they could to take it out of context.
The hospital in Port St. Lucie just added a new security system to prevent infant mixups and abductions, said hospital spokeswoman Ginger King.
"There was no incident or anything like that, but we just want to put new parents at ease," she said. "We already have security at the front door, and the new system provides us with an extra layer of protection so that parents feel safer." wholesale electronic online
Hospital officials began looking into the idea of adding security last fall. In mid-December, they purchased the monitoring equipment and tags.
Starting now, newborn infants will wear a soft tamper-proof ankle strap and monitor, called a Hugs tag, that will allow nurses to track the baby's whereabouts on the maternity floor day and night. If someone attempts to remove the strap or the infant is moved to an unauthorized zone, an alarm will sound.

Parents often feel upset because they can not keep abreast of their baby’s condition. At present, parents are relieved with the assistance of the baby monitor.
A baby monitor, also known as a baby alarm, is a radio system used to remotely listen to sounds made by an infant. It is composed of the transmitter and the receiver. The transmitter, equipped with a sensitive microphone, is placed near to the child. Every light sound issued by a baby, whether mumble or cry loudly, can be recorded accurately and is transmitted clear FM signals through antenna. The receiver equipped with a speaker to receiver those signals, is carried by, or near to, the person caring for the infant.
In recent years, a type of visual baby monitors has been brought out on the basis of the traditional monitoring devices. In fact, this improved product is added a small camera on transmitter. And then the receiver becomes a monitor, even a portable palm LCD. Consequently, the function of baby monitors is stronger and better. Parents not only can hear what baby’s saying, but also watch baby’s motion at any time. What’s more, some additional new technologies have been applied on baby monitors, such as infrared sensor. The baby’s activities can be seen through the transmitter built-in infrared sensors even if the light is closed.
Undoubtedly, the application of baby monitors greatly improves the freedom and flexibility of parents. Through this device, parents can deal with other matters in other rooms or even outdoor courtyard. Meanwhile, they are well aware of baby and do not need to live in fear everyday.
