My wife thinks I’m insane but, what experience do you have with baby monitors and what steps did you take with commercial products to make sure they weren’t vulnerable like most IoT garbage out there?

    I pushed for wireless offline. It gives you a camera and a monitor. Wireless with plenty of range. Two way talk. White noise options on the camera.

    The biggest advantage is that it’s something you can leave on and open. I know if my baby is coughing or hiccuping or yelling immediately. I’m not getting a little ding on my phone that says my camera heard something. That wouldn’t wake me up.

    I just got the v tech from Walmart. It was expensive and the best I can say about it is that it’s sufficient. We needed one in a pinch. I’d do real research if you go this route.
