Half the time we can't even see LO on the monitor because he rolls to the bottom part of the crib that's not in screen shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-your-baby-monitor#post-1023345 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 08:41:00 +0000 Mrsbells 1023345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really wish the motorola one had some sort of password and no one else to pick up our camera other than us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-your-baby-monitor#post-1022725 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 21:35:19 +0000 apis 1022725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@futuremrsmck: I completely agree. We have multiple passwords, etc, but the bigger picture is that I've taken as much care and effort to protect it (and him) as possible, and don't want to spend the rest of my time worrying about every "what might be" scenario. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-your-baby-monitor#post-1022500 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 20:44:41 +0000 Smurfette 1022500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No cause ours doesn't connect to the internet </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-your-baby-monitor#post-1022485 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 20:42:33 +0000 googly-eyes 1022485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really...our picture isn't that great and it's at a weird angle. I think it would be pretty disappointing to anyone who managed to hack in.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-your-baby-monitor#post-1022480 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 20:40:58 +0000 MrsH 1022480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That story freaks me out a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-your-baby-monitor#post-1022448 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 20:33:27 +0000 lovehoneybee 1022448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I'm really not. </p> <p>I know it's possible that some creep could see him. But to hack into it they'd first have to figure out our obscure wireless password, then the username and very random, long password for the camera and figure out our obscure camera IP address and port number (which is not the default 80).</p> <p>So it's possible (we've never had any problems with any neighbors seeing anything), but seems really unlikely. I feel like...I could still get into a car accident but I've strapped him in properly? I've taken every precaution I can, but at the end of the day I just can't stress about something that might possibly maybe happen. I try to protect my child as much as I can, but I can't raise him under a haze of "what-ifs" without losing my mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-your-baby-monitor#post-1022443 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 20:32:26 +0000 Mrsbells 1022443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah... I dont know how I feel either... </p> <p>@MamaBehr: I think I will take our monitor outside and see if it picks up our camera </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-your-baby-monitor#post-1022440 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 20:31:44 +0000 MrsF 1022440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH is super paranoid about this stuff and he's not worried, so I'm not worried. It's still so creepy to think about though. </p> <p>@MamaBehr: That's a good point. The reception is pretty poor even on our back patio. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-your-baby-monitor#post-1022421 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 20:28:26 +0000 MamaBehr 1022421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not concerned, but that is because we have some sort of technology block in our house ( I think it is because of the "energy efficient" stuff). The monitor doesn't work outside of our front door (I have tried!), so I'm not worried at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-your-baby-monitor#post-1022414 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 20:27:40 +0000 .twist. 1022414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: eek! That's weird.... I don't know how I feel about it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-your-baby-monitor#post-1022408 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 20:26:10 +0000 chopsuey 1022408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>freaky! I'm not too concerned about it though.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-your-baby-monitor#post-1022401 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 20:25:19 +0000 Mrsbells 1022401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: ours doesn't connect to the Internet either, however other people nearby can pick up the frequency of our camera and see our LO's room. From what I understand it is almost like an open radio channel that others with a similar monitor can tune to </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-your-baby-monitor#post-1022261 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 20:00:02 +0000 .twist. 1022261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not quite sure I understand the video monitors well enough. Our video monitor doesn't connect to the Internet, can it still be hacked? </p> <p>I didn't get a foscam because I was worried about that from the start. </p> <p>(Is foscam different than a regular video monitor? Haha clearly I'm uneducated on the topic) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-your-baby-monitor#post-1022251 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 19:57:39 +0000 Mrsbells 1022251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since the news story about the Foscam baby monitor being hacked into, DH is especially concerned about our Motorola video monitor. Last night he wanted to leave it off or cover the camera. Is he overreacting? I partly think he is overreacting but can't deny that it's totally unsecured to people within range and we live in an Apartment complex. </p>
