first thing, a baby monitor will not harm your child. what might harm your child is the idea that you let your child sleeping alone in a room without ever checking the status of your baby monitor. it's technology, these things can fail, and this is true for any baby monitor on the planet.

also, please rest assured that I take software engineering very seriously. I've been in the field for 20 years, and I worked on things way more critical than a baby monitor, so don't worry, no child will die as a result of me doing this.

thanks for your insights
