Systems and methods for configuring baby monitor cameras to provide uniform data sets for analysis and to provide an advantageous view point of babies

Systems and methods for monitoring babies with cameras using a centralized computation and storage center that allows using visual output signals for computer vision and machine learning analysis and high-level reasoning of baby movements. The system comprises a camera located at a predefined working point above a baby's crib, and one or more communication networks between components of the system including a web-based network for in-depth computer vision and machine learning analysis of the visual output signals by an analysis server.
