Motorola is hitting the baby monitor market hard.  The MBP15 pictured above is the company’s third baby monitor that has been passed through the FCC this week.

The MBP15 is a slight upgrade over the MBP10, which we posted on yesterday.  This device gives you temperature monitoring, a clock, sound alerts and lullaby/nightlight functions.

With three products already approved by the FCC, it seems like Motorola is ready to take on the baby monitor market by storm.

Just a couple of days ago we posted about Motorola’s MBP30 video baby monitor.  Today, Motorola passed another baby monitor, called the MBP10, through the FCC.  This one is a more basic audio-only model that you can attach to your belt while you walk around the house.

There have been rumors that Motorola wants to spin off it’s mobile phone unit, and that kind of makes you wonder what the non-mobile phone Moto will do.  Well, if the MBP30 is any indication, Motorola is looking to get into a broad range of new markets, including baby monitoring.

This device, which looks like it came straight from Star Trek, actually looks like one of the better baby monitors I’ve seen.  Instead of just listening to your kid, the MBP30 brings you live video that’s displayed on the handheld unit pictured above.  If you’re afraid of waking your child, this thing can operate in night vision mode, using infrared LEDs to view your kid in the dark.

The MBP30 operates on the 2.4 GHz channel, so you’ll still need to remain relatively close to your kid.  But with the NFL season starting up, this device will help you to maximize your time on the sofa.
