web cams, baby monitors etc

Have historically being a security nightmare

It will be a news story when one does not have mega security flaws.

@ Nick Ryan

Those baby monitors are useless, relative of mine used one to monitor ill relative when she was asleep (ill relative in separate room with various medical kit, she was in different room to sleep when not caring for him) - idea being if he moaned then baby monitor amplified noise would wake her (as she had slept through his actual calls on a couple of occasions with his voice being weak and rooms a few m apart.

She occasionally got woken by baby noises from nearby house that would sometimes interfere and be received on her monitor.
