Night Vision
And so just like other baby monitors, the one that this mom and dad bought has the feature of night vision. The night vision camera helps to see what goes on even in pitch dark so that parents can act accordingly. It is helpful at night because the lights have to go as everyone needs to sleep. Even Sarah and Jay were able to check their baby’s movements.
Even They Can See
However, since there was night vision in the camera that they had bought, it automatically meant that the person watching them could see at night too. There was a huge problem here. These people were able to see each and every movement of their son or whatever was there in front of the camera. They had to try to find a way to fix this.
Checking The Monitor
So in the end, there was no doubt that something was wrong with the monitor. Sarah and Jay were absolutely convinced that the baby monitor had some sort of problem.

There was no denying it at this point. Their baby monitor was indeed hacked by someone. Sarah and Jay’s baby monitor was messed with. Somebody found a way to hack the monitor and this hacker was able to do whatever he wanted. He was capable of controlling the camera. It was surely a moment that scared both the parents immensely.
Not The Only Ones
When they found out what had happened, Jay and Sarah were shocked beyond belief. The two of them never expected that the baby monitor could have ever lead to such a scare. This was truly an incident that made them scared for their whole family’s life and safety. They soon realized that they were not the only ones to go through this. The parents needed to warn others…
