What Parents Need to Know About Baby Monitor Apps:

The use of baby monitor apps is on the rise due to their convenience and easy setup. While these apps can be useful for parents, there can be certain risks that need to be addressed to keep your family safe.
This article talks about the dangers of using baby monitor apps and provide some useful tips on how to keep these apps safe and secure.

 

Risks Associated with Baby Monitor Apps:

When using apps, there is always a risk of data breaches or unauthorized access. Hackers are always looking for vulnerable networks to exploit, and a baby monitor can be an easy target.

For instance, if the app is connected to an insecure Wifi network, it is an open invitation for hackers. The app may also have security flaws of its own which could allow hackers to access the video or audio feed.

Another risk associated with these apps is that of potential spying by third-parties. Many apps broadcast their video and audio feeds to other users, creating opportunity for malicious actors to gain access to your home’s security system.

Additionally, some apps may store a permanent record of the video and audio feed on their servers, this data can be unsafe and vulnerable.

 

How to Deal with the risks:

Baby monitor apps can be just as safe as a physical baby monitor, but it’s important to make sure you’re using the right app. Look for one that includes video encryption and two-factor authentication, so your video feed is secure from hackers.

Furthermore, it is important to make sure that the app has an automatic logout feature—which will ensure that no one has an unauthorized access the to the feed.

If you are using a baby monitor app on your phone or tablet, make sure to keep it updated with the latest security fixes. Strong password is another tool that helps protect your devices.

Finally, When you use your app, ensure that you connect to a safe network. Public WiFi can be hacked easily therefore avoid using this type of network.

With these steps in place, you should be able to enjoy a secure connection with your baby monitor apps.
