Cot Cams: Neonatal Cameras With an Audit Trail
An early-stage proposal for in-cot cameras that would let authorised parents view babies remotely in NHS and private neonatal wards.
Field notes
The proposed system combines fixed-position cameras at cot or incubator level with parent viewing through a phone or browser. A neonatal unit would control access, limit it to the admission, and pause it during procedures; retention would be set by the provider. The site also describes logged requests to view or export footage, plus surveys covering mounting, power, cabling, infection control and ward layout. The project is presented as exploratory rather than deployed.
