This video was so unbelievably helpful. Read watching baby monitors have been so overwhelming because of how many there are and what they do/don’t do. This at least broke it down to which type of monitor I want. Thank you!!
We bought a Monbaby, a baby monitor when our baby was 2 months old and I could not even imagine how I had managed without her before. Now you can safely put the child to sleep, and take a bath yourself or close in another room and do your own thing, or cook in the kitchen and not jump out every time with the thought that something happened to the child. And when we went to the cottage or to our parents for a visit (they have a private house), I couldn’t rejoice that you can safely put the child in and go to the garden.
Nice video. Btw Firmware is just software that's been written to a chip, it's really isn't a security feature per say. That said companies do provide fixes to their firmware via updates.
Hello. This was a great video, but I think you might have made a mistake in 4:34. 2.4GHz is the frequency in which it transmits, so as long as it's physically near the Wifi Router, than it should be fine. If you're talking about internet speed, that should play a factor when you're viewing from outside your home. That depends on the resolution on the camera. The nest camera transmits 1080p HD video which would require you to have min. 4MBps upload and download speed dedicated to the camera to have clear real-time streaming.
I think that for a private house a baby monitor is a very necessary thing. Bought from MonBaby, the quality is very good. Acts for a long distance. Conveniently, you can use batteries, there are no extra wires and if the baby monitor is discharged, it warns in advance to my phone.
This is so helpful! Is there a monitor out there that offers both a handheld monitor to use around the house and a smartphone app for when you're out and about?
Nowdays, sense-u baby monitor is more convinence and affordable. Unlike other movement sensors/wraps, the Sense-U 3-in-1 Breathing Monitor tracks your child's breathing movement, sleep position, feeling temperature accurately and allows you to intervene when something happens to your child, e.g slow breathing movement, stomach sleeping, overheat, etc.
Would be nice and save almost endless searching is a big list of how much emf that transmitted and how many feet . And what is safe exposure for baby and not .Then let parent decide . Already viewed many sites with option of buying about $1000 worth of meters to prove to self a store bought monitor or diy . Already a site shows a nice blond lady said power line adapters Safe . Another site says not safe , The store I went to that has dozens of baby monitors doesn’t have the slightest information or care , only to sell something .
The cocoon cam has been discontinued by the manufacturer since the company went backrupt. It's still available on Amazon though but doesn't work (read reviews from year 2020). Please remove it from the list so that people are not misguided.
They discontinued the service, people still can use it, but without all of the smart features. No more notifications, which only can be used as a regular video monitor.
nice video but I think you got it wrong when you said non WIFI is more secured compared to WIFI....on contrary it's the other way around provided if you have secured WIFI connection (which basically means just setting up your WIFI password like you usually would) and even if you didn't do that it would be very hard to decode the baby video among all the other data you are transmitting or receiving. On the other hand the non WIFI based which mostly use simple radio frequency can be easily hacked, even inadvertently by someone using same radio frequency
There is so much wrong tech information in this video. Firmware does not protect your video feed.......firmware is the software embedded into the camera itself. The software does nothing to protect your video feed. It is the encryption standards that protect your feed. 2.4 ghz isn't a speed......it is a radio frequency. It is literally the radio frequency at which all Wifi devices operate. The non-wifi monitors are NOT more secure than wifi monitors. The wifi monitors use AES-128 encryption, typically with end-to-end encryption. This prevents things like Man in the middle attacks, which is going to be the security threat most likely to be attempted on your video cameras. These cameras are just as "unhackable" as the non-wifi monitors......if not moreso. Non-wifi units do NOT win on security. It is not a local network. It is an ad hoc network. Ironically, the wifi monitor are the ones that actually do run on a local network. The wifi struggles for streaming and seurity concerns are NOT real. Not any more real than the non-wifi versions. You literally said, like a minute prior to that, that the encryption made the monitors "as close to as unhackable as possible." How are there security concerns with the wifi monitors if the encryption makes them "as close to unhackable as possible?" The only real difference between the two units is that the non-wifi uses frequency hopping, without encryption, for security whereas the wifi unit uses direct frequency with AES-128 & end-to-end encryption for security. They are two different methods for accomplishing the same thing......secure connections. Either way, both units will be adequately secure. The only difference being that the WIFI unit requires your entire network to be secure......which is something you should have done anyway since you probably do things like banking on your computer/phone while it is connected to your wifi. Change your router admin password. Encrypt your wifi signal. Hide your SSID. Blacklist all MAC addresses except those that you manually approve. That will increase the overall security of ALL devices on your wifi......including your baby monitor.
Do you know a baby monitor that can have all these features but not so pricie? 1) Phone app. enable 2) Monitor 3) Temperature 4) Able to move/tilt the camara from your phone. 5) Motion detect 6) 2 way audio able to talk & listen from the phone app. 7) Able to Record 8) Alexa 9) At least 1 year of free repair 10) Lifetime customer support
You can find a few strong options that parents have told us they love (with a combo of all of those features) here: www.babylist.com/hello-baby/best-baby-monitor?

Good point, thanks for calling that out! 🙌

Awesome video!! This deserves more views and likes!!
Pretty baby monitor, I like that you can connect to it through the phone, it is very convenient to use. I also use a baby monitor from Monbaby only.
This is so helpful! Is there a monitor out there that offers both a handheld monitor to use around the house and a smartphone app for when you're out and about?
This is what we are looking for too. Does anyone know?
Here's an article about that. I had been wondering about that also. 10babygear.com/best-baby-monitor-with-screen-and-app/
@@mayafriedmann4360 - bad quality and customer experience reviews for all of them.
I NEED ONE THAT HAS TV OUT OR AN RCA TYPE JACK THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO ATTACH IT TO AN OLD VCR FOR RECORDING AS A SECURITY CAM ,Nice video ,thanks
Excellent breakdown to understand the key differences between all these options. Thank you.
Are there any baby monitors that have a monitor but also connect to the internet to use an app?

Thank you! ❤️
SHOULD BE LONGER RANGE
AND USED AS PET SAFETY OR " HOME SECURITY "
EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE ONE OF THIS WORLD WIDE .
WALKIE TALKIE AS BABY MONITOR .
So have you actually used these or you just going off the specs
Both 😊 If you’re craving a full review for any of these monitors in particular, let us know!
