iBaby WiFi Wirless Baby Monitor


Have you been looking tirelessly for a Baby monitor that will connect through your Wi-Fi at home or in the office? Are you looking for something which will let you monitor your precious little bundle of joy from anywhere and everywhere in the world from your iPad, iPhone, iPod or MAC? Well then you need to take a look at our iBaby Baby Monitor.


You may think well how does the monitor actually work because when I look at the product, all I see is a camera? Correct, you will need to use your apple device and then download the apple iBaby app which will allow you to use the camera effectively. Unlike stationary baby monitors, the iBaby app follows your little one with a swift up/down and left/right swipe of your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or your MAC mouse, giving you the correct viewing position to suit you and deliver the maximum amount of coverage of your child. If your baby moves away from where you have the camera viewing, you are able to simply reposition the iBaby Monitor from anywhere where your iOS device or MAC can connect. The monitor is completely wireless, the only point at which it will be connected to your router is for the first initial set up process.

The smartphone Baby monitor works via the iBaby app which allows you to access your baby monitor camera from anywhere in the world. You can enjoy peace of mind, safe in the knowledge that your baby’s movement or cry’s will alert you in an instant. Furthermore, you don’t have to worry about dashing up to your little ones nursery and calming them down as this monitor has two way communication which means that no matter where you are, your soft soothing voice will reach out to your baby when they feel distressed or unsettled. Even if it’s night time, the iBaby operates with a clear infrared light function that works clearly within a 16-foot range.  The monitor can also place itself into standby mode, which will then wake your phone up if your little bundle of joy begins to cry, meaning that it will not run your device battery life down quite so quickly as expected. Furthermore, the app can be put into an audio only mode to keep the power usage even lower.

The iBaby app which you will have to download onto your apple product allows you to take an unlimited amount of pictures with the photo capture option. Also, it’s also worth to note down that the iBaby Monitor App is free from the App store.

Is Your Baby Monitor a Security Risk?


No one would deny the value and importance of using a good baby monitor. But are there any concerns parents should have, including potential security issues?
No parent can expect to be by their baby’s side the whole time. You need your own space, you need to eat, relax, bathe and sleep. A good, well-chosen baby monitor can help enormously, giving you an immediate heads up as soon as your baby starts to become unsettled or unhappy. As many parents know, it’s usually a good deal easier to comfort and settle a baby who is merely whimpering than dealing with an all-out lung bursting wail.

There are some fairly obvious concerns regarding Baby Monitors. For example, how do you know if the batteries are low, or whether your baby is simply being quiet? How do you know if your baby monitor receiver is out of range? And how do you know if your receiver unit is blasting out a loud wail if you’re currently doing the vacuuming in the kitchen with the washing machine and oven extractor going?


There are of course solutions to all of these. Baby Monitor manufacturers have designed solutions which help reassure parents in all three of these scenarios. From battery indicators to an alert if the unit is out of range, and light indicators which show visually what level of sound can be heard. But there are some less obvious issues which it is important to be aware of and they’re not pleasant.

Many modern Monitors have an excellent range. Most modern ones are able to broadcast to up to a dozen houses in the neighbourhood. Furthermore, they are also able to pick up audio from outside the baby’s nursery, including adjacent rooms. Are you starting to see where this is going?

Yes, it is true that some Baby Monitors are much more of a security risk than parents realise. I have personally known someone who was regularly able to hear their neighbours’ telephone conversations as both houses had similar monitor systems installed, and on one occasion the telephone conversation which were overheard included bank card details being given out. It’s important to remember that it is a broadcasting system, broadcasting high quality audio and video, and that the broadcast is not physically limited by the boundaries of your land.

How comfortable do you feel about anyone in the neighbourhood potentially being able to watch your baby, or see you as you go into the nursery? How comfortable do you feel about speaking on the phone, having a private conversation or even just singing to your baby suspecting that you were being heard or seen by any neighbour in the area?

Now, before you become scared off the idea of using a Baby Monitor, let me make it perfectly clear that (1) I have never heard of, or come across any example where one was used for any criminal activity, and (2) not all have unsecured audio and video broadcast. The thing to remember is the some are more secure than others and unless you live in the countryside about a mile from any neighbours, you may want to think carefully about choosing one which offers you a more secured and reliable system.
