Local Video-LLM Powered AI Baby Monitor: A Second Pair of Eyes
2025-05-25
This AI Baby Monitor acts as a second pair of eyes, leveraging local video LLMs to enhance baby safety. It monitors a video stream (webcam, RTSP camera, etc.) and a simple list of safety rules. A gentle beep alerts you when a rule is broken. Running locally with the Qwen2.5 VL model via vLLM, it prioritizes privacy. While processing at roughly 1 request/second, its minimal alert and real-time dashboard provide an extra layer of security. Remember, it's a supplementary tool, not a replacement for adult supervision.
