When is it safe to stop using baby monitor
How to Help Prevent Baby Monitor Hackings
the reality is nothing is hack-proof but
I want to go over some tips on how to
keep things hack resistance and in this
case we're talking about connected baby
monitors let's go as we see more people
adopting connected monitors and baby
nurseries we're also seeing an increase
in camera hackings in the news even
though they're rare it'll definitely
shake you up if it does happen to your
family so what can you need to try
preventing it first consider getting an
on connected monitor if it's not
connected to the Internet you're
drastically decreasing your risk for a
hack traditionally these monitors lack
in quality and have less features but I
think you fees one of the few out there
that's up to par now obviously you have
a limited range compared to Wi-Fi
options but from a security standpoint
these monitors are much more difficult
to exploit now if you're going with a
connected option regardless of brand
nest our lobe outlet wise whatever
they're all susceptible to hackings but
there is one thing that you can do and
it's so easy and so overlooked and
that's creating a strong unique password
for your camera
something long alphanumeric peppered
with symbols and may feel inconvenient
but it'll feel just as inconvenient for
hackers who mostly look for an easy way
in also if you do have nest take the
time to enable two-factor authentication
as it adds another layer of protection
now it's easy to blame your camera but a
lot of your focus needs to be put in
your router as well whether or not you
got it from a service provider or you
went with your own take the time to
change the default name and password of
your network again make it complex and
unique from the password of your camera
a ton of cameras get hacked simply
because these things were never
customized and it's important that you
do so also it's easy to brush off
firmware updates but keeping your router
updated will ensure that it has the
latest features improve performance and
security settings if you're unsure how
to do this I have links below to
instructions of some of the most popular
brands so go check that out next tip set
up a firewall which is a layer of
security between your home network and
the Internet most routers have one built
in that can be enabled or you can have
another device setting up that firewall
but regardless not having one leaves
your network vulnerable not just your
cameras but everything from credit card
information to browsing history
everything lastly well it doesn't
necessarily help with security cameras
getting a VPN or a virtual private
network is a helpful step in securing
your browser information by keeping you
anonymous I knew your location or even
giving you access to your home network
bar
traveling now they're different ones out
there I like P ia but do some shopping
ultimately it'll help protect your
privacy that's all I've got for you guys
