Security and privacy
Network security
Do not use the app on an unsecured Wi-Fi network. We advise you to use the
baby monitor only on a Wi-Fi network protected with WPA2 or higher
encryption. With the app, you can also use your phone's data network(often
referred to as 4G or 5G).
Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi network protected with
WPA2 or higher encryption. We advise you not to use the baby monitor on a
network that uses WEP encryption.
Note: Wi-Fi networks that do not require a password are not secure.
Strong passwords
Passwords are essential to protect your Wi-Fi network and your account against
unauthorised access. The stronger your password, the better protected your Wi-
Fi network and your account is.
The rules for a strong password are:
1 Has at least 8 characters.
2 Does not contain your name, your baby's name, another real name or a brand
name.
3 Does not contain a complete word.
4 Is very different from passwords that you have used before.
5 Contains at least 3 out of 4 types of the following characters:
a Uppercase characters (A - Z)
b Lowercase characters (a - z)
c Numeric characters (0 - 9)
d Special characters (e.g., #$%&).
Personal data security
To delete and therefore protect your personal data, factory-reset your Baby Unit
by long pressing the On/Off button for 10 seconds when the Baby Unit is on,
before discarding the device. It is strongly advised to disconnect the Baby Unit
from the Philips Avent Baby Monitor+ app by selecting ''Disconnect Baby
Monitor'' option in the Baby Unit settings of the app.
If you are a second-hand owner, we advise you to perform the following steps to
factory-reset your Baby Unit to secure your device:
1 Turn on your Baby Unit.
2 Once the LED has changed from orange to green or white, press the On/Off
button for more than 10 seconds until the LED flashes between green and
orange, and the Baby Unit will factory-reset.
In case you do not perform the factory-reset, Philips will not be responsible for
the performance and functionalities of the device, and your privacy might be
compromised.
