Apple Watch As Portable Baby Monitor

Recently I discovered an unexpected usage of my Apple Watch ... and that is to use it as a portable baby monitor.  My wife and I take my kids to friends/family places very often.  When our 6 months old needs to take a nap, we usually have to put her down at someone's bed and other flat surface.  We have monitor at home for us to monitor the baby to make sure nothing terribly wrong has happened.  So in a new environment, baby monitor feels like a something that can ease our mind while chilling at with family/friends.

Apple Watch has the ability to remote control iPhone camera to take photos.  By using this feature, I can place my iPhone close to where my baby sleeps and point the camera at her.  By activating the remote camera feature from Apple Watch, I can clearly see how my baby girl is doing.

The photo below is what I can see from my Apple Watch when placing my iPhone on top of the head board.

I can't hear anything but at least I can see if she is moving outside of the pillow area or stuck underneath a pillow.  It provides us an ease of mind.  It's definitely something that I didn't thought as an usage for my Apple Watch when I purchased it.

Maybe this tip can help you as well.  We all know parents are very paranoia ;)
