A control system is provided for controlling communication between a monitor unit and a set of remote user units. A monitoring system including the control system, the monitor unit and optionally the remote user units is also provided. The monitor unit comprises a camera for collecting images of a subject being monitored and/or a microphone for collecting sounds of the subject being monitored. The control system is adapted to grant different access rights to different users, including at least: first access rights for a first remote user or first set of remote users over the Internet for accessing the collected images and/or collected sounds; and second, different, access rights for a second remote user or second set of remote users over the Internet for accessing the collected images and/or collected sounds. The system is for example for baby monitoring. In this way, a parent (or other primary care giver) can share their baby experiences with family and friends in a way which is most appropriate for each different type of family member or acquaintance of the baby.
