like daddit for the fediverse but we all eat pizza with ranch and say "ope" a lot. all dads and non-dads are welcome. ranch on pizza is recommended but not required. ope is mandatory.

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?

Eufy recently had some issues exposed where they were not actually doing end-to-end encryption in all cases even though they said they were. We have used the Eufy E110 with both of our kids and like them. They don't connect to a network, so the security risk is very low in my opinion. We have had issues with the monitor kick stand and flip out antennas breaking if you drop them or aren't careful, but that is user error.

Ah! That was it. I'm not too worried since I didn't plan on connecting it to my wifi.
