Eufy SpaceView

Thread: "Man Talking To My Daughter Through Owlet Camera"

We bought non-wifi from Eufy for our LOs bassinet. Peace of mind for sure.

I love our eufy monitor. Doesn’t use Wi-Fi, battery lasts a long time.

Thread: "Nanit Camera Hacked"

My husband owns an IT & Cybersecurity company and has been hacking things since the early 90’s. We also have a Eufy and highly recommend it!

Thread: "My baby monitor got a call?"

I had an owlet camera when I had my first in 2021. When he was a couple months old I saw a video about these getting hacked into and I switched to a non-WiFi monitor. I have no idea about the connectivity though, unless it got connected by accident or automatically. I would honestly just switch, because that scares me. There are so many really good monitors out there that don’t require WiFi. The eufy spaceview was my favorite until my toddler ripped the antenna off. I have cheap hello baby one I use for travel. I also have a better quality hello baby I purchased when my eufy broke.

Thread: "I’m getting overwhelmed choosing a non wifi baby monitor! Please help! Lol"

We did research into this one and it seemed that the general consensus was that the Eufy SpaceView was the best non-wifi monitor on the market in terms of overall build and image quality. A lot of the other ones you see on Best Buy and Amazon are absolute garbage.

Thread: "Baby monitors seem like a scam with how atrociously poor quality they are"

Same. We picked Eufy specifically because it doesn't have the same hacking vulnerabilities that others have.

Thread: "Our owlet monitor was just hacked."

Omg so sorry to hear Anyone looking for a baby monitor I def can recommend eufy. I heard about this as a possibility and got the eufy with its own RF totally separate from wifi. It’s also nice when you take baby with you for a night away from home you just plug it in and it works, no setup or asking for wifi. I got it bc it was #1 on witecutter. Looks like a new version is out but basically this one https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-baby-monitor/

Thread: "What baby monitors are you using? "

Eufy. It doesn’t use wifi (this was important to us for security reasons, but also if the internet is down, your camera still works).

Thread: "WiFi baby monitor hacking"

FWIW, I thought it was fear-mongering as well and thought it would never ever happen to us. However, after using our WiFi camera for a few months, we received several notifications that someone from Russia was attempting to login. They were ultimately unsuccessful (I think and hope!) but I felt so violated each time I looked at the camera that we purchased a non-WiFi camera (eufy spacevue) and have been very happy.

Thread: "Nanit Camera Hacked"

Ugh not good enough IMO because whoever this is could still see my child

Thread: "Man Talking To My Daughter Through Owlet Camera"

We got a eufy one too that has a WiFi option in case we are traveling and need it for some reason. I keep the wifi switch turned off but it’s nice to have the option. It’s not a perfect monitor but it’s not bad!

Thread: "What baby monitoring/ cam system do you all use? "

We have an Eufy non-wifi monitor. Not dealing with it being connected to the internet was big for us. Only issue is that the construction is fairly cheap: USB port on the camera came lose after a drop and the screen did not survive being put in a toddler's mouth.

Thread: "Baby monitors for the internet security conscious"

We went with the eufy video baby monitor on the recommendation of the Wirecutter. It's offline and works great

Thread: "2 baby monitors?"

We have a eufy that can use two cameras for one monitor

Thread: "Nanit Camera Hacked"

Yeah, my husband is in IT and tests networks for vulnerabilities. I’ve watched with my own eyes how easy it is to hack into a network that isn’t protected well.

Thread: "IT concerns over baby monitor?"

We have EUFY. Works great and is nice because when we travel we don't need to set anything up.

Thread: "Our owlet monitor was just hacked."

Yikes! Another good no-wi-fi is the Eufy Spaceview

Thread: "Best no BS baby monitor?"

Vtech audio only monitors are great for what you're looking for. We used these when we're traveling and they typically have better range than more video monitors For video options, we like the Eufy Security Spaceview Baby Monitor. It's not wifi, and there's no phone integration, so you have the camera and the handheld. We've been using this one for our first for 5 years with no issue.

Thread: "Does anyone know which Owlet Dream sock is the best to get?"

I’d just go with a good monitor that you can see if your baby is breathing or not (I use Eufy Spaceview), but the biggest thing is just learning to trust that your baby is okay!

Thread: "IT concerns over baby monitor?"

Eufy space view is great, and does not use wifi

Thread: "Please be careful with WiFi baby monitors"

We're going with infant optics. Eufy also has one that allows you to choose between Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

Thread: "Recs for non-Wifi baby monitors "

We use the Eufy baby monitor and it's great!

Thread: "Pros vs cons of wifi baby monitor?"

Having a non wifi monitor was non negotiable for us. We have the Eufy one (I can’t remember the exact model) and I love it, I’ve just heard too many horror stories that have put me off having a regular one! We have home cameras as well (we have dogs and are sometimes not at home so like to check on them) that I would probably use in the future if we leave our son with my mum or sister and I’d just let them know.

Thread: "Baby monitor recommendations - non wifi"

We like our Eufy monitor and I see it get recommended on here often, but I'm not sure if it supports multiple cameras or not 🤔

Thread: "Baby monitors seem like a scam with how atrociously poor quality they are"

I’m gonna add one pain point I have with out Eufy… the alert system doesn’t work if you use white noise. Our alerts started going off constantly even when baby is silent. Turns out it was reacting to a steady white noise machine also in the room. Their customer service team just told me there is nothing else they can do to resolve it for me. We still use the monitor but I keep it by my pillow at night with the sound on. So her white noise is now my white noise too.

Thread: "Which Baby Monitor??!!"

I have the owlet duo (video monitor and a sock that monitors babies vitals, I was super paranoid being a first time mom and was so scared to sleep) and then we eventually got the eufy space view. The owlet is terrible. It was expensive and a total waste of money. I really wanted to love it. I liked that it had an app you can pull up on your phone so I didn’t need to carry around the parent monitor but I have to say it totally sucked. The video quality isn’t that great, some monitors you can actually see baby breathing but no shot with this one. Also it’s constantly going offline which means you can’t see the video. And for some reason it occasionally reverts setting so it will stop playing the sound on my phone in the background and I can’t hear the baby until I open the app back up. The sock is great and if you’re paranoid like me I found that helpful but I would just get that and not the duo with the video camera. We got the eufy for going to places without wifi and I love it. It’s become our main monitor now. The video is great quality. You can move the camera remotely so if baby has wiggled in her crib I can still see all of her. Not needing internet means even with the internet out I have a working monitor. We can take it anywhere. I don’t always love having to bring the parent monitor but the quality is so much better than the owlet that I deal with it.

Thread: "What’s your favorite baby monitor? [bc]"

I have been happy with our Eufy Spaceview. It's a video monitor with a sizeable screen and the night vision is very clear. I prefer having a separate monitor rather than using a wifi one on my phone.

Thread: "Baby monitors?"

Not the guy you responded to but we also had privacy concerns. We have a Eufy Spaceview. Image quality is good, screen is big. Battery time is good in my opinion. Range is good, our girls room is on one corner of the house and my office is on the other end. No issues there. Surprisingly good microphone. Plastic on the actual monitor feels a bit cheap. But buttons arent mushy or anything.

Thread: "Do not buy the Nanit baby monitor"

That was how we felt as well. We went with the Eufy Spaceview and have absolutely loved it.

Thread: "WiFi baby monitor hacking"

We have the Eufy one and it’s worked great. (We did need to buy an adapter to clip it on baby’s crib).

Thread: "First time dad, looking to get the first baby monitor. Any tips or warning I should know beforehand?"

We have the Eufy Space view. It supports 2 cameras to one monitor. It doesn't have some of the fancy features like breath tracking but it doesn't require WiFi which has often come in handy for us. It also has a myriad of mounting Options to fit just about anywhere you need it

Thread: "Our owlet monitor was just hacked."

I second Vava. It has amazing resolution and very durable.

We got the Eufy Spaceview and I'm super super happy with it \~9 months in.

Thread: "Baby monitor recommendations - non wifi"

The Eufy spaceview is non wifi but there are others that are wifi.

Thread: "Baby monitor recommendation (wifi & non-wifi all-in-one) [on]"

We got the Eufy E21 (4k) and love it. The monitor it comes with can connect to the camera in local only mode if you want, and then you can still access the camera from your phone. You can also buy add on cameras that can connect to the same monitor, which we did so that we could have a camera by his pack and play and a camera upstairs in his bedroom without having to constantly move it. I'm also a big fan of the Eufy customer service. I was having issues with the WiFi connections after connecting the second camera and their support team is fantastic. They literally never took more than 30 minutes to respond to email, even when I messaged them at 2am one time. Just FTM things lol. You can buy stands on Amazon that will make the Eufy work the same as the Nanit, but for a fraction of the price. The E21 also frequently goes on sale for about $100 off so just keep an eye out on the prices there.

Thread: "Baby Monitor recommendations [CA]"

We have the euphy non wifi one, and it still works 5 years later (we only use it when kiddo is sick, but super handy to have for then). We just purchased another for our second. We didn’t want wifi due to all the issues they’ve had. We are in a 1800 sqft townhouse, tall and skinny with 3 floors and we have no issue with signal anywhere in the house, and can actually go outside/in the garage with it with no issues as well.

Thread: "Baby monitor recommendations - non wifi"

Another vote for Eufy Spaceview which is non wifi! We got it after seeing it recommended on here as well.

Thread: "So my baby monitor was hacked."

This is TERRIFYING but I am so glad you learned NOW before it went on any longer. We opted for a non-wifi system for this reason, and even use the Hatch that is not WiFi enabled. I may have serious trust issues. Edit: I did A LOT of research on monitors, if you're looking for a recommendation the eufy spaceview is AMAZING.

Thread: "Did you choose the owlet baby monitor or something else, and why?"

The idea of that much data monitoring on my baby freaked us out. We went with the Eufy Spacecam monitor that doesn't have an app, so it was more secure. Our baby was healthy and full term, and also had one of us in the room with her until about 4 months. I don't wish we had more function, and we didn't even use the monitor for a few months since she wasn't alone.

Thread: "Baby monitor recommendations?"

I have this one too and love it! Range is crazy good. It also doesn’t use Wi-Fi so no weirdos can hack into it and watch.

Thread: "WiFi baby monitor"

Sure, RF can be picked up on but all that they are accessing is the monitor itself since it’s a closed system, not your entire home network… IMO that’s the biggest risk, not someone just looking at/listening your baby sleeping or whatever. We live in a big city in an apartment building so not exactly a secret that we’ve got a baby here. Can see it feeling a bit more exposing if you live in a house somewhere more remote though! I think at the end of the day it makes sense to just get the monitor that works best for you, not necessary to be very afraid of the “what ifs”. Edit: we have the Eufy baby monitor, and it was most definitely not cheap!

Thread: "Baby monitor shopping is overwhelmed"

I’ve used 2. The first one is a secondhand eufy spaceview. The battery life sucks but it does provide clear sound and pic feed. Sadly our LO knocked it off accidentally after 3 months of use. Then we got a momcozy one and love it. The functions are similar as the eufy spaceview but come with a better battery. Used it for about 8 months now and no complaints.

Thread: "Any baby monitor suggestions from the graduates?"

Just gonna put in a vote for the Eufy Spaceview. No wifi, FHSS secure signal, decent range, 360 view w/ 110 degree vertical, decent zoom and nightvision, thermometer, ability to turn screen on/off while audio stays on, motion/audio sensing mode w/ alerts, 2 way audio… this thing is great.

Thread: "Are we allowed to make product recs? Eufy Spaceview baby monitor is AMAZINNNG!!!!"

I have the infant optics monitor and the Eufy monitor. The picture on the Eufy is clearer although I never really use it when it’s not in night vision mode and the difference is less stark. The alarm mode is especially useful with my toddler. She wakes up and plays by herself, often pretty quietly, and the alarm mode lets me get some extra sleep. I turn the volume down pretty low and set a threshold for the alarm. The battery lasts longer on the Eufy too but it’s also newer than my infant optics so it’s hard to say if it’s not going to deteriorate also. The picture and battery are nice but the alarm mode is a game changer.

Thread: "Which Baby Monitor??!!"

We got an Eufy and it's been great. Picture is good in night mode, battery lasts 8 hours. It's on wifi with a dedicated monitor which we wanted as opposed to having to use our phones.

Thread: "What is the best baby monitor/camera "

We went with the security camera route too. With 24 x 7 recording we could go back to see how she slept the night before, and her first escape from the crib. 🤣

Thread: "Overwhelmed with the search for the right baby monitor (Raditation, Security and sensor pad)"

We use (and used for the past 3+ years) eufy space view. It's not wifi connected. We don't use any wifi connected smart devices in our homes (besides phones and computers), as a security precaution (husband is in the cybersec industry and knows too much about what can go wrong). We also use snuza hero for extra peace of mind while baby is sleeping. And I like how it's not connected to anything and so we can use it in the car when I cannot see their faces. Positional asphyxiation in the car seat really freaks me out!

Thread: "Pros vs cons of wifi baby monitor?"

If you’re able to check your home cameras whilst out, wouldn’t that make them wifi? The risk of those being hacked would be the same as a wifi baby monitor, which is super low.

Thread: "Our owlet monitor was just hacked."

Yes! The eufy is good. But I need to add a warning to never ever ever drop the handset portion, as it will stop working entirely with the slightest of impact. This happened to me, and apparently a ton of other people based on reviews. Their customer service is helpful in replacing the parts for free, but you still will find yourself without your monitor for several weeks while the replacement is being processed. Otherwise, great monitor 😅
