Introduction

The current generation is moving at a faster pace than before. They want things to be quick and seamless to spend more on productivity than micro-managing every tiny detail. 

People are marrying late and having kids late till they are financially stable. Even after the baby comes, it continues to be a significant emotional and financial responsibility for the parents. Not every parent can stay at home to look after the kid. 

Although baby sitters are there, it is not entirely safe to let your baby be with a nanny or the sitter until they have established trust. Checking in every hour when the baby is outside with the nanny or the sitter is an arduous task. 

Thankfully, it is 2021, and technology has taken a leap and made our lives easier with innovations.

Smart baby monitors are one of the valuable and efficient ways through which working parents can monitor their baby’s movements. Well, you might be thinking- “Baby monitors already existed before 2021; what is the difference?”
