Hi,

I recently purchased Arlo Pro 3 camera system. I was hoping to use one camera as a baby monitor for my one month old infant. I want to know if it is safe to keep it near baby crib? How strong are infrared lights for this camera? Is it safe for kids/human eye? For motion sensor does it use electromagnetic waves? Are they safe for kids? I know I might be paranoid here, but this is my first kid and don’t want unintentionally do any harm to my kid.

I don't know any scientific analyses but the IR is hugely less than the sun's. Since the only IR emitted by the camera is for the IR illumination for night vision for up to 2 minutes at a time, I'd say it's way less than could possibly be harmful for anyone.
