Samsung’s latest hi-tech toddler-surveillance system trains an unblinking eye on your offspring…

The Samsung SEW-3037 with 3.5-inch, colour LCD is your baby’s new Big Brother. It keeps a watchful 2x-zooming eye on your babe, while pan and tilt will check twins or scan the playroom for hidden axe-wielding madmen. Just kidding, obvs. A two-way radio with talk-back lets you and your other half
argue remotely over whose turn it is to change Junior. 253,69 USD, samsung.com/uk

THE TECH
Samsung’s SEW-3037 in detail

1/ Babies should be seen...
 Resolution on the “parent hub” monitor is only 320x240, but it’s clear enough even in low light. When lights go out the unit automatically switches to black-and-white, night-vision mode.

2/ …And also heard
Switch to Vox mode and the screen will switch off if all’s quiet. As soon as the wailing begins, the screen switches itself back on.

3/ Even a one-year-old could use it
The screen isn’t a touchscreen, but the menu system is easy to navigate and allows access to all camera options and sound settings.

4/ Surveillance state
You can connect up to four cameras at a  time for full, round-the-clock coverage, with each cam promising to be interference-free up to 300 metres.
