[0026] Reference Figure 1-3 An intelligent monitoring camera for infants and toddlers includes a housing 100, a camera module 140, a microphone 150, a speaker 160, a wireless communication module, and a main control circuit board 170 disposed within the housing 100. The main control circuit board 170 is electrically connected to the camera module 140, the microphone 150, the speaker 160, and the wireless communication module. A temperature and humidity sensor is also installed inside the housing 100, and the temperature and humidity sensor is electrically connected to the main control circuit board 170. A one-button call button 1111 is installed on the housing 100, and the one-button call button 1111 is electrically connected to the main control circuit board 170. The main control circuit board 170 integrates a memory and a processor. The memory is used to store preset audio data. The processor is connected to the camera module 140, microphone 150, speaker 160, wireless communication module, temperature and humidity sensor, ambient light module 220 and one-button call button 1111 through circuit connections, and is used to receive signals from each module and control the operation of each module. The wireless communication module is used to establish a wireless communication connection with an external mobile terminal, receive control commands sent by the mobile terminal and transmit image data and temperature and humidity data captured by the camera to the mobile terminal.

[0027] This intelligent infant monitoring camera provides comprehensive infant care through integrated functional modules within its housing 100. The main control circuit board 170, serving as the core control center, is electrically connected to the camera module 140, microphone 150, speaker 160, and wireless communication module, enabling unified control and signal processing of these modules. A temperature and humidity sensor located within the housing 100 is electrically connected to the main control circuit board 170, allowing for real-time monitoring of the infant's environment's temperature and humidity parameters, ensuring the infant is always in a comfortable and safe environment.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , 3A dedicated one-touch call button 1111 on the housing 100 is electrically connected to the main control circuit board 170, allowing caregivers to quickly establish communication with a mobile terminal by pressing this button. For example, when an infant cries and needs immediate attention, the caregiver can press this button to notify the parents remotely. The integrated memory on the main control circuit board 170 stores preset audio data, such as lullabies or white noise, which can be played when the infant falls asleep, helping to create a quiet and comfortable sleep environment.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 , 3 The processor, as the core component of the main control circuit board 170, is connected via circuitry to the camera module 140, microphone 150, speaker 160, wireless communication module, temperature and humidity sensor, ambient light module 220, and one-button call 1111. It is responsible for receiving signals from each module and controlling their coordinated operation. For example, when the microphone 150 detects an infant crying, the processor can automatically control the speaker 160 to play preset soothing music and simultaneously activate the ambient light module 220 to create a soft lighting environment to help soothe the infant.

[0030] The wireless communication module is responsible for establishing a wireless communication connection with external mobile terminals (such as parents' smartphones). On the one hand, it receives control commands sent by the mobile terminal, such as remotely adjusting the camera angle, turning on ambient lights, or playing specific audio. On the other hand, it transmits real-time image data captured by the camera and environmental data collected by the temperature and humidity sensor to the mobile terminal, so that parents can know the status of their infants and the environment at any time, even when they are not with their infants. When they find any abnormalities in their infants, they can take timely measures, providing a more comprehensive and reassuring remote care experience.

[0031] In some embodiments, a sound detection circuit module is provided on the main control circuit board 170. This sound detection circuit module is electrically connected to the microphone 150 and is used to analyze and process the sound signals collected by the microphone 150. The main function of the sound detection circuit module is to analyze and process the sound signals collected in real time by the microphone 150. This analysis and processing includes sound intensity detection, frequency feature extraction, and sound type recognition. Through sound signal analysis, the system can intelligently identify different cries, laughter, or other sound expressions of infants and young children, thereby determining the infant's emotional state and needs.

[0032] In some embodiments, the main control circuit board 170 is equipped with a temperature and humidity signal processing circuit, which is electrically connected to the temperature and humidity sensor. The temperature and humidity signal processing circuit is mainly responsible for receiving the raw data signals collected by the temperature and humidity sensor, and performing a series of processing operations on these signals, including filtering, amplification, and analog-to-digital conversion. Finally, the processed digital signal is transmitted to the processor of the main control circuit board 170 for further analysis and judgment. This ensures the accuracy and stability of environmental parameter measurements, enabling the system to accurately grasp the temperature and humidity conditions of the environment in which the infant is located.

[0033] In some embodiments, the main control circuit board 170 is equipped with an image processing circuit, which is electrically connected to the camera module 140. This image processing circuit analyzes and processes images captured by the camera to detect whether a target object in the image crosses the boundary of a preset safety fence area. The main function of the image processing circuit is to receive video stream data acquired in real time by the camera module 140 and perform a series of complex analyses on this image data, including image enhancement, target detection, motion tracking, and boundary recognition. It is optimized for the safety fence function, allowing parents or caregivers to connect to the camera via a wireless communication module on a mobile terminal and pre-define a virtual safety fence area boundary in the image, such as setting the crib or baby's activity area as a safe zone.

[0034] Once the system activates the safety fence monitoring function, the image processing circuit will continuously analyze the position and movement of the infant in the video image. When it detects that the infant has climbed out of the crib or crossed the preset safety zone boundary, the image processing circuit will immediately report this abnormal situation to the processor of the main control circuit board 170.

[0035] In some embodiments, the main control circuit board 170 is also provided with an alarm indicator device. When the sound detection circuit module detects that the sound signal feature value exceeds the preset range, the temperature and humidity signal processing circuit detects that the temperature and humidity value exceeds the preset threshold range, or the image processing circuit detects that the target object crosses the boundary of the preset safety fence area, the alarm indicator device is triggered to issue a visual or sound alarm and send the corresponding abnormal information to the external mobile terminal through the wireless communication module.

[0036] When the sound detection circuit module analyzes the sound signal collected by the microphone 150 and finds that its characteristic value exceeds the preset range, such as the intensity or duration of the infant's crying exceeding the normal level; or when the temperature and humidity signal processing circuit receives data from the temperature and humidity sensor showing that the ambient temperature or humidity exceeds the preset safety threshold range, such as the room temperature being too high (reaching 30°C) or the humidity being too low (below 25%); or when the image processing circuit analyzes the image collected by the camera module 140 and detects that the infant, as the target object, has crossed the boundary of the safety fence area preset by the user on the mobile terminal, such as the infant having extended its body out of the crib and beyond the preset safety line, the alarm indicator device will be immediately triggered by the processor.

[0037] In practical applications, for example, when the room temperature gradually rises due to overheating during the infant's sleep at night, and the temperature and humidity signal processing circuit detects that the room temperature has exceeded the preset threshold of 26℃, the alarm indicator will first emit a flashing orange visual alarm. Simultaneously, the speaker 160 will play a gentle alert tone, avoiding overly stimulating sounds that might wake the infant, but sufficient to attract the attention of nearby caregivers. At the same time, the main control circuit board 170 sends an abnormal information push notification to the parents' mobile terminal via the wireless communication module: "Baby room temperature too high (currently 27℃)," accompanied by a real-time temperature curve and corresponding suggested measures, such as lowering the heating temperature or opening windows for ventilation. This multi-layered early warning mechanism ensures that abnormal situations can be detected and handled promptly. Whether caregivers are near the baby room or monitoring remotely, they can receive the alarm immediately and take appropriate measures, greatly improving the safety and timeliness of infant care, allowing parents to maintain peace of mind even when they are not with their children.

[0038] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 , 3 The housing 100 includes a front housing 110 and a rear housing 120 that cooperate with each other. The front housing 110 is provided with a ball joint structure 130 for mounting a camera module 140. The ball joint structure 130 has support columns 131 on both sides, and the front housing 110 is provided with pivot holes 112 at corresponding positions. The ball joint structure 130 forms a pivotal engagement with the pivot holes 112 of the front housing 110 through the support columns 131 on both sides, and is connected to the front housing 110 through an electric or manual drive mechanism, so that the ball joint structure 130 can drive the camera module 140 to achieve multi-angle rotation and adjustment within the front housing 110.

[0039] Furthermore, the front shell 110 has a recessed panel 111 structure, and the ball head structure 130 is installed in the upper region of the panel 111; the one-button call button 1111 is located in the lower region of the panel 111 of the front shell 110, and the button is located directly below the ball head structure 130, forming a corresponding upper and lower arrangement. The ball head structure 130 adopts a spherical design, which can accommodate the camera module 140 and protect its lens and related circuits. At the same time, each side of the ball head structure 130 is provided with a support column 131. These two support columns 131 form a pivot engagement with the pivot holes 112 at corresponding positions of the front shell 110, so that the ball head structure 130 can rotate stably around the axis of the support column 131, ensuring that the ball head structure 130 will not loosen or wobble during rotation, thus ensuring the stability of the camera's captured image. The camera module 140 installed inside the ball head structure 130 is connected to the front shell 110 through an electric or manual drive mechanism. The electric drive mechanism generally includes a micro motor and a transmission gear set, which can realize the automatic adjustment of the camera through remote control of a mobile terminal; while the manual drive mechanism allows users to directly adjust the camera angle by manually turning the ball head. The combination of these two methods provides users with flexible operation options.

[0040] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 , 3 The system also includes a base 200, to which the housing 100 is rotatably connected, allowing the housing 100 to rotate relative to the base 200. An ambient light module 220 is housed within the base 200 and electrically connected to a main control circuit board 170. The ambient light module 220 includes RGB colored lights, providing adjustable multi-color light sources. A bearing or slip ring structure is preferably used between the base 200 and the housing 100 to achieve smooth rotation, and an appropriate damping mechanism is provided to ensure stable rotation and the ability to remain fixed at any position. The ambient light module 220 is internally housed within the base 200 and electrically connected to the main control circuit board 170 within the housing 100 via wires. The main control circuit board 170 centrally controls its switching and operating modes. The core component of the ambient light module 220 is the RGB colored light, which uses a combination of red, green, and blue LED light sources. By adjusting the brightness ratio of the three basic colors, it can mix and produce almost infinite color variations, providing diverse lighting effects.

[0041] Furthermore, the base 200 has a connecting structure at its bottom, through which it forms a detachable connection with the wall mount bracket 230. The wall mount bracket 230 includes a mounting plate for fixing to the wall and a connecting part for connecting to the base 200. The connecting structure at the bottom of the base 200 can cooperate with the connecting part on the wall mount bracket 230, ensuring a stable connection while facilitating disassembly, allowing users to easily change the installation position of the camera according to actual needs. The wall mount bracket 230 mainly consists of two parts: a mounting plate for fixing to the wall and a connecting part for connecting to the base 200. The mounting plate is preferably made of durable metal or high-strength engineering plastic, and has multiple mounting holes, allowing users to firmly fix the mounting plate to the wall of the nursery using expansion screws or special screws. The connecting part is a component on the wall mount bracket 230 specifically designed to cooperate with the connecting structure at the bottom of the base 200. Its structure matches the shape of the connecting structure at the bottom of the base 200, enabling a stable locking mechanism.

[0042] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The bottom connection structure of the base 200 is an annular groove 210, with positioning grooves 211 at both ends of the annular groove 210. One side of the positioning groove 211 is a hollow structure. The connecting part of the wall-mounted bracket 230 is a circular structure that matches the shape of the annular groove 210. The circular structure has outwardly protruding baffles 231 on both sides. The circular structure rotates by passing the baffles 231 through the positioning grooves 211 at both ends of the annular groove 210 and then rotating them by a certain angle so that the baffles 231 form an abutment fit with the inner wall of the base 200, thereby realizing the detachable connection and fixation between the wall-mounted bracket 230 and the base 200.

[0043] The annular groove 210 has positioning grooves 211 at both ends. The width of the positioning grooves 211 is slightly larger than the width of the baffle 231 on the connecting part of the wall bracket 230, ensuring that the baffle 231 can pass through smoothly. The baffle 231 has a flat or hook-shaped structure, which can form an effective abutment with the inner wall of the base 200 after rotation. In use: First, align the circular connecting part of the wall mount bracket 230 with the annular groove 210 at the bottom of the base 200, so that the two side baffles 231 are aligned with the positioning grooves 211 at both ends of the annular groove 210; then, pass the baffles 231 through the corresponding positioning grooves 211 respectively. At this time, the main body of the circular structure should be embedded in the annular groove 210; then rotate the circular structure clockwise or counterclockwise by a certain angle (usually 15-90 degrees). In this way, the two side baffles 231 will leave the position of the positioning grooves 211 and move to the lower part of the inner wall of the base 200; finally, the upper surface of the baffles 231 and the lower surface of the inner wall of the base 200 form a tight abutment fit, thereby achieving a firm connection and fixation.

[0044] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
