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?

    Not an irrational fear, remember that the S in IoT stands for Security. Anything that doesn’t use wifi/internet is going to be fine, someone would have to physically come to your house to get the signal.

    We went with the DXR-8 from Infant Optics. It’s a little janky in some ways, like we couldn’t have 2 viewers for the same camera for some reason, uses old barrel plugs instead of something like USB-C, and was bad at battery estimation. Overall though, worked for us and the nanny just fine.
