What is the breathing and movement analysis?

Published on 01 June 2026
You get a broader view of your baby’s sleep by detecting the motion of your baby's breathing. Without the need for sensors or anything touching your baby, our advanced video-based algorithms analyze the subtle up-and-down chest motions to calculate your baby’s breaths per minute or breathing rate.

There may be times when we can detect your baby is sleeping but cannot accurately show a breathing rate due to too much movement. When this occurs, the 'movement' notification alert will be displayed instead of a number.
If we cannot detect a sleep or breathing rate signal, we will scan the baby’s crib again and send a notification that no signal could be found.
A very slight delay in data refresh may be due to the connected network condition.

The information on this page applies to the following models: SCD973/37 .
