Problem
Traditional baby monitors often rely solely on Wi-Fi or mobile apps, leading to unreliable monitoring due to internet outages, app crashes, and phone interruptions. These systems can also raise privacy concerns due to data storage in third-party clouds and potential vulnerabilities in cloud-based communication.
Solution
Harbor provides a secure and reliable baby monitoring system that operates with or without an internet connection, ensuring continuous oversight of the child. The system includes a high-quality camera and a dedicated 10-inch monitor that connect directly, creating a closed-loop system for local, secure communication. For remote access, the system can connect to Wi-Fi, enabling streaming to mobile and desktop apps. Data is stored locally on the device with end-to-end encryption, enhancing privacy and security.
Target Audience
Harbor is designed for parents who prioritize security and reliability in baby monitoring, especially those living in areas with unreliable internet or who travel frequently.
