Are Wi-Fi baby cameras safe?

Use cameras with encrypted connections (WPA3 Wi-Fi, two-factor authentication). Change default passwords immediately. Avoid cheap no-brand cameras with poor security. Wyze and major brands encrypt their streams and offer 2FA.

When should I start baby-proofing?

Start before the baby arrives. Install nursery cameras and smart plugs during pregnancy. Add cabinet locks, outlet covers, and gate sensors when the baby starts crawling, typically around 6-9 months.
