It is in a list of machinery with no description whatsoever, so I have no further info. Hopefully someone can help me with this. It is a list of machinery used in toy and gift item manufacturing.

监控机
Explanation:
监控机

这里由于没有上下文，大家只好猜测，下面是我的版本：

由于是制造环境下的一系列机器的列表，overlooking machine可能是一个用到多台机器的生产线上的一台监控机器，通过传感器监视其他机器的运行情况。如一台机器的某一部分需要以一定的转速运转，可用传感器监视，如转速高于或低于一定的范围，则会发出报警，让值班人员处理。再如另一台机器需要有润滑液润滑，一旦润滑液停止火太少就可能出事故，也可用传感器监视，当润滑液流速太慢或太快时，也可发出报警，要求处理，等等。

监测器


Explanation:
It could be "监测器" used in the toy manufacturing industry.---just a guess.

Or it could be \"监护器\" manufactured for the sake of protecting children.

If, however, all the other items on the list are toy-related, I would suggest that you translate it as \"俯视器(机)\" or \"眺望器(机)\" and so on, which at least sound more toy-like or gift-like.

get a picture


Explanation:
Hi Chooi,

Suggest to ask for a picture as for these kinds of toys and gift items, the source text is very poor and impossible to understand, the source texts are usually generated by non native or even a clark in an office. I have seen a lot these and you need picture plus imagination.

（婴儿）监护器


Explanation:
我猜这是婴儿护理的辅助设备，可能是监测尿布有没有湿、婴儿有没有哭闹等等。
这种简单的电子装置不算是标准的护理设备，而且往往要与其他婴儿用品配合安装，如婴儿床、被褥、玩具等，因此，在玩具厂生产也符合情理。
