BabyTech Editor's Comment.

I felt that monitoring services can be divided into two main approaches. One approach is to analyze a large amount of data using cameras and image analysis to improve accuracy, and the other is to specialize in collecting important information at the center, and this product uses the latter.

In the case of BabyTech, both approaches can be employed because the target infants and toddlers do not move significantly. If there is a breakthrough, which route would it be? We would like to keep a close eye on the trend.
