Baby monitors put the minds of many parents at ease by increasing the safety of their children; however, many currently available models lack certain features that should comply with safety regulations. This paper proposes an intelligent monitoring system for infants that can be integrated into smart homes to improve real-time monitoring through a computer vision technique. Therefore, the primary goal of a smart home presence detection system is to enhance children's safety by accurately identifying their presence and identifying risks that may arise in real-life scenarios. It operates in real-time to ensure parents are always informed of their child's safety. This approach employs YOLOv5, which is well-known, fast, and accurate, thus suitable for this task due to its impressive real-time object detection performance. The proposed system indicates a quickand efficient framework for keeping children secure in smart homes, presenting the potential of advanced computer vision techniques in the real world.
