baby monitor
Crib surveillance device
A baby monitor is an electronic device that lets parents hear or see their infant from another room.
The basic version transmits audio; video monitors add a camera.
The term extends to smartphone apps that serve the same purpose.
I forgot to turn on the baby monitor before coming downstairs.
