Hey HN!<p>My wife and I are expecting our first child and we are exploring options for baby monitors. However, the common video baby monitors seem to be a security nightmare, with stories of strangers watching live feeds of other folks' kids all over the internet.<p>We want to find a solution that is reasonably feature-rich, but more importantly, is highly secure. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
The problem is, you cannot know. There's no such thing as a secure, feature-rich device. If there are any that are self-updating, that's a very very good start.<p>Why do you need an IP camera? The kind that requires a dedicated monitor, that doesn't use IP, are "secure". Probably not uncrackable-secure, but only your near neighbors would be able to watch.<p>We had infant optics. It's great, the range only works within the house, multicamera, temp sensor, and more. If you put it on mute, you can watch yourself having sexy time. Not that you will ever have sexy time again.<p>They also have unbelievably good customer service. For a commodity baby monitor. Just superb.
