Frequently asked questions
Is a Wi-Fi baby monitor safe?
It can be, if the manufacturer offers encryption and two-factor authentication. A model with its own parent unit doesn’t connect to the internet.
How far does a baby monitor reach?
Manufacturers often state 1,000 feet in open space. Indoors, the models in our test reached 80 to 200 feet.
