Baby Monitor
First Claim
1. A baby monitor including:
- a nursery unit, power line and a parent unit whereinA. The signal output terminal of said nursery unit is plugged directly into the power outlet socket;
B. The signal input and output terminals of said parent unit are plugged directly into the power outlet socket;
C. Said nursery unit is connected to said parent unit by power line, The audio or video signal captured by said nursery unit modulates a carrier signal which is then sent to the power line, Said parent unit receives the modulated carrier, demodulates and replays the audio or video signal.

Abstract
A baby monitor which eliminates potential harmful microwave effect of wireless signal generated by current wireless baby monitors. The baby monitor has a nursery unit, a parent unit, and optionally a gateway. The nursery unit consists of video or audio acquisition, amplifier, microcontroller, microcontroller-controlled band-pass filter, microcontroller-controlled carrier generator and modulator, power line coupling circuitry. It transmits signal to the parent unit or the gateway through power line. Parent unit includes power line coupling circuit, micro-controller, microcontroller-controlled band pass filter, super-heterodyne amplifier, video/audio modulator and video/audio player. Alternatively, the power coupling circuit, microcontroller, microcontroller-controlled band-pass filter and super-heterodyne amplifier in the parent unit can be separated and form a gateway device which then communicates with the parent unit wirelessly.
