Abstract
A baby monitor system and method has a baby monitor unit which collects sounds of a baby to be monitored. The sounds collected are analyzed and crying sounds are identified and categorized into a set of different crying types. A first alert for a first carer receiver unit is generated for a first sub-set of crying types and a second alert is generated for a second carer receiver unit for a second, different, sub-set of crying types. Thus, two (or more) carers can be allocated care responsibility for the baby for different crying types, to provide a division of care.
