Which baby monitor connection has the best security?

You often hear the news that baby monitors and cameras get hacked or wiretapped. As a young parent, you don't want anything to happen to your baby. There's a difference between a hacked baby monitor and accidentally hearing the neighbor's baby. We'll explain which baby monitor connection is the safest.

Most secure connection

DECT baby monitor

A DECT or digital baby monitor is the only one 100% protected from wiretapping. The signal between the parent unit and baby unit is encrypted. This way, it's not possible to accidentally tune into the same channel as the neighbors. Do you find a secure baby monitor important? Choose a DECT or digital baby monitor.

Average security

Wifi baby monitor

You can hack a WiFi or smartphone baby monitor. That's because the communicate via the wireless network. Hackers crack the password of the app or of your WiFi network. This way, it's possible to watch along or even talk to your baby via the camera. Luckily, you can make it harder for the hackers if you change the standard password of your app and WiFi network.

Least secured connection

PMR baby monitor

An analog or PMR baby monitor communicates via an open channel. This makes it very easy to wiretap it. Do you live in a neighborhood with many children? There's a big chance you receive the signal of another analog or PMR baby monitor. If you live close to a highway or gas station, you might even hear the truck drivers talk. They often communicate via a two-way radio that works on the same network as PMR baby monitors.
