| The Battery Operated Baby Monitor. For many years, parents have been using baby monitors to help them keep an ear or an eye on their baby while they are in another room. It often gives parents their only moments of peace, while still letting them know that their child is safely sleeping in the other room. These monitors were a great invention, but are not necessarily the safest thing when it comes to home security. |
Traditional analog wireless monitors send audio (or video in some cases) over wireless frequencies, usually 1.2 Ghz or 2.4 Ghz. The qoute comes in because the audio or video is being transmitted unencrypted. This means that whatever with the same, or a similar baby monitor, can tap directly into the frequency and unmistakably hear what is happening inside of the home. This means that your neighbors, or even strangers on the road could be listening in on what is happening inside your home. |
