What kind of security must be used with this system and/or the wifi so that others outside or elsewhere cannot also be "monitoring" the baby?

As far as I know, the only video monitors that can't be hacked into have to have a "video encryption" guarantee on them. This does not. Audio or video monitors run on local frequencies and if someone in the neighborhood has your model, they might accidentally be able to tap into the sound or image of your monitor. Honestly, I'm excellent about only turning it on when the baby naps. Otherwise it is off, so I decrease my chances of leaving an open opportunity of viewing where the baby sleeps. People who are forgetful and leave the monitor on all the time are the only ones who need to be more vigilant. Having said that, I've used this device religiously for 16 months and have never picked up the image or sound of some other baby's nursery. So I'm guessing that since I haven't picked up someone's frequency, then nobody's picked up mine because it would glitch both ways otherwise. Hope that helps.

I did not want to obssess over watching baby and, for the price, if I wanted to watch baby, I could just get a wireless webcam instead and be able to watch baby from the Internet, my phone, computer... and not just the one receiving monitor.

Yes, but it's tricky and you will need two hands to do this, so the person will be seen and recorded. If possible, install in an area with other cameras protecting close area. No way to lock..

Yes you can password protect wifi signal by using "WEP or WPA/WPA2" from "Security" options in main menu.

In my experience, there was no interference with the WiFi network. I had the cameras on an exterior wall opposite my router and there appeared to be no difference in the router performance before and after. I did replace these cameras as they do not perform well outside; they allow moisture to get into the electronics and invariably fail.

I've installed 2 of these for clients and if they are installed tightly they will add an extra measure of security as well as child-proofing. Both clients are very happy with them. Just my 2 cents, hope it helps.

Dear Paul, change the WIFI encyption authenication with our "Eyesee Finder", please come to www.szgeeya.com/ipc for related software. Please know that the camera shall not be too much near the wifi router, like dark under the lamp. But if long time video recording or surveillance, we would advise wired connection. Further questions please feel free to contact us.

Yes, your phone doesn't need to be in wifi range, just the camera. So, you can see the nursery from work!

Absolutely! I read reviews of people that did that. Once you remove the sensor pad and disconnect it from the nursery unit, it will just be a regular sound monitor. I did not keep it just for sound because I already had one just for sound. I was hoping to have something that helped me with peace of mind ...

Sorry, not sure what type of security you're looking for but the ISP should provide that. I'm not aware of any security features and nothing mentioned in the owners manual.

There is no way to avoid neighbors from using it. As long as your Wi-Fi is protected they can only use the antenna's signal to boost their Wi-Fi power.

Yes, the camera must be wireless and ON (transmitting) thanks! Sleuth Electronics LLC PS: to avoid false alarms you MUST turn OFF all electronic devices in the area such as cellphones, radios, TV, etc...because they transmit radio frequencies. It is important that you educate yourself on the proper way to use this item. In your case you may want to hire a PI that knows how to use this type of product. Good day.

My husband said to go to the Do It Yourself Security Forum on the web and they have a 2GIG Section. Ask your question there anbd they should be able to answer it. Good Luck!

I would advise you plug this in somewhere that is securely inaccessible, either have it directly feeding inside your home or some kind of box by the camera with all wiring covered and out of reach, don't want someone walking by out of sight of your camera, pulling the plug or snipping the cable and disabling your security.

Just plug n pair it n it's done very easy useful n convenient n safe. Quality of video is good enough to keep an eye on kids n intruders.

Hmmm... It is not designed to do so. You may be able to somehow tape the transmit key down on the table unit so that it is continuously engaged. That would be a rigged up solution and it would blanket the area such that other users (If any) could not use that frequency. Interesting idea for someone needing a "long range" baby monitor. Mel
