As you tiptoe into the nursery to adjust the traditional baby monitor’s lens for the umpteenth time, you might wonder if there’s a better way to ensure your baby’s comfort and safety. Traditional baby monitors have long been the go-to tech for keeping an ear out for our little ones, but as technology advances, their limitations have become more glaring. Here’s why it might be time to retire that old monitor and how Cappella is leading the charge in revolutionizing baby care for the modern parent.
The Downsides of Traditional Baby Monitors
Firstly, traditional baby monitors are often one-way streets when it comes to communication. They might let you hear or see your baby, but they don’t provide insights into what your baby’s cries actually mean. Secondly, they can be clunky, needing frequent adjustments, and often suffering from battery life woes or range limitations.
Environmental impact is another concern. With most models being made of plastic and electronics, they contribute to the growing problem of e-waste. Plus, the production of these devices has a significant carbon footprint, an average of 27 kgCO2e per unit, including manufacturing and shipping.
Let’s not forget about data privacy. Many Wi-Fi-enabled baby monitors have faced criticism for potential security vulnerabilities, raising concerns about the safety of intimate family moments.

Cappella transforms two household smartphones into a sophisticated baby monitoring system that does more than just watch or listen. Developed by a team from MIT, Berkeley, and Stanford, Cappella uses AI to interpret baby cries, helping you understand your baby’s needs without the guesswork.
