With so many devices that enhance our lives, they can also lead to security breaches in ways we never thought possible before.
It's called the 'internet of things' - any smart device that goes in your home to help you. This includes baby monitors that connect to your wifi, letting you see, hear and talk to your children remotely.
But cyber security experts say baby monitors can be hacked, and there is no telling what that person will say to your child without you in the room.
"In one recorded case, someone was talking in a devil voice to the child while it was sleeping," said Dr. Murray Jennex, a professor at San Diego State University in Cyber Security and Information Technology. "This happened just in the last year."
There are things you can do to protect yourself, experts say. Make sure your wifi is password protected and choose something complex with capital letters, numbers and symbols. This will help to make sure hackers can't guess what it is.
The baby monitor will also most likely come with a set username and password that can be easily looked-up on Google. Experts recommend changing this before it is placed in a child's room.
