Early warning: The presence of a normal breathing wave & frequency along with a normal heart rate & wave gives a visual conformation of the premi's stable state. If the breathing rate begins to slow & the pulse rate slow also, you can tell from across the room that something bad may be starting.This allows the staff to start checking for equipment faults or other issues & helps them begin resuscitation early

See below: It literally detects the stopping of respirations or heartbeat. I assume you mean the monitor in the hospital. If you are talking about the house video cams, then nothing.
