Why would you ever be out of your home and leave your baby unattended? So you view IT, IT meaning baby, on a monitor, while you are at the restaurant. What is the most secure way of monitoring babies? Stay at home and look after it!! I cannot for the life of me ever understand why you would not have your baby as close as possible. Until I had children I thought I was a heavy sleeper. That is until my parental awarene…

If you’re out of the house with a babysitter, it’s more than likely to be a date night. Take the night off and enjoy your partner’s company. Don’t watch the monitor; let the babysitter take care of that (you’re paying for it). IMHO, of course.

You're probably better off going with what the wife wants & just isolating that device on the network. Realistically the picture itself isn't the risk - babies aren't all that interesting - but a sketchy device on the network could be a beachhead of sorts.

Plus sign up with fake details.

Monitor is more for daytime. You want them in a quiet room to sleep while you get stuff done elsewhere. Being with the baby 24/7 is a beautiful idea but not always practical. Of course, never leave the house with baby or young child at home.

RF baby monitors surely existed before 1989. But yeah at some point we didn't have modern stuff. We survived without paper, sneakers, etc.
