Baby monitors — both audio-only and video models (including pan/tilt/zoom cameras) — are classified under 8517.62. The transmitter/receiver pair is classified together as a set under GRI 3(b). Wi-Fi smart baby monitors streaming to a smartphone app are still 8517.62. Wearable vital-signs baby monitors (measuring oxygen saturation, heart rate) may shift to 9025.19 or 9027 depending on which function is primary. Split-screen monitors displaying multiple camera feeds remain 8517.62 — the display is ancillary to the reception function. Baby monitors with built-in lullaby speakers are 8517.62; the speaker function does not move them to 8518.
