Really good, I like it, night vision is great and you can set alerts for movement so that if baby is moving, the app will alert you.

You can turn off the IR - night vision is much improved when you do. Go to the "Settings" icon in the top right corner, then "Camera Settings". There are options to turn of status light, IR, etc.

Of course, one can make the same argument with Dropcam etc. too
Of course anything connected to the internet can be hacked by anyone. We know the NSA is hacking peoples' webcams on their laptops, so I don't see why they wouldn't also collect wifi cams like this.
The questions is why would that be useful to anyone, unless suspected of crimes.

Rouge hackers would have an interest in hacking your computer/phone if they can gather info on you to steal money.
If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

That's weird - I have a lot more options on mine. Are you using the Yi Home app?
