Natus NICVIEW cameras are provided to offer families a virtual window to view the newest addition to their family via a smartphone or computer if they are unable to be on-site. These small cameras mounted to the NICU bedside capture a live, secure, password-protected video stream. This captures every moment of their baby’s life and keeps families at the center of newborn care. The cameras and streaming promote bonding, even at a distance.
