Is Your Wireless Baby Monitor Secure?



For many years, parents have been using baby monitors to help keep an ear or an eye of your child while they are in another room. It is often the parents of his only moments of peace, not to let them know that your child is safe to sleep in another room. These displays were a great invention, but not necessarily as safe when it comes to home security.

Traditional analog wireless monitors sending audio (or video in some cases) in wireless frequencies, usually 1.2 Ghz or 2.4 Ghz. The problem comes because the audio or video is transmitted unencrypted. That means that anyone with the same or a similar baby monitor, you can tap directly in the frequency and clearly what is happening inside the house. This means that strangers to their neighbors, or even on the street could be listening to what is happening inside your home.

However, there are some newer wireless baby monitors that are now available that can provide better quality video and audio, while providing security at the same time. These new encrypted digital wireless baby monitors send video and audio simultaneously through a frequency of 2.4 GHz, the same as previous models, but sends the digital video. This provides an encrypted video stream that can only be collected by the monitor. The camera and monitor are "married" together when first turned on, like a garage door opener motor to the garage door. Once paired together, these devices only communicate with each other, and will not be able to read the signs of any other baby monitors, baby monitors or not be able to capture in your video.

Besides the obvious security benefits of the latest digital monitors, the monitors now have higher levels of functionality as the previous monitors baby did not have, such as 2-way audio allowing you to talk back to her baby, an LCD monitor turns off automatically shuts off when not in use to prolong battery life, lithium batteries for battery life up to 3 hours and up to adjustable zoom lets you zoom closer to your baby. This, together with more powerful video and audio transmission (up to 200 meters) provides greater flexibility and security for your home and your baby. Digital communication also reduces or eliminates the static that can be experienced with older analog monitors, this alone will make many parents happier with the newer digital monitors.
