Security and privacy

Network security

WiFi hotspots in public places, such as airports and hotels, are convenient,
but they are often not secure.
We advise you to use the baby monitor only on a WiFi network protected
with WPA2 encryption. We advise you not to use the baby monitor on a
network that uses WEP encryption.
Note: WiFi networks that do not require a password are not secure.

Strong passwords

Passwords are essential to protect your WiFi network and your account
against unauthorised access. The stronger your password, the better
protected your WiFi network and your account is.
The rules for a strong password are:
1 A strong password has at least 8 characters.
2 A strong password does not contain your name, your baby's name,
another real name or a brand name.
3 A strong password does not contain a complete word.
4 A strong password is very different from passwords that you have used
before.
5 A strong password contains characters from at least two of the
following categories:
- Letters: A, B, C or a, b, c
- Numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
- Symbols: _ . @ $

Safe use of the baby monitor app

Only use the app on a secure network
Don't use the app on an unsecured WiFi network. We advise you to use the
baby monitor only on a WiFi network protected with WPA2 encryption.
You can also use your phone's data network (often referred to as 3G or 4G).
Always use the latest software and firmware
Always upgrade the app software and the baby monitor firmware when
you receive a notification that an upgrade is available. Upgrades are made
available when there are software improvements or to prevent a security
issue. If you fail to upgrade, your connection to the baby monitor via the
app may no longer be safe and private.
