Amina Qureshi

Security researcher turned parent advocate who audits what leaves your network, validates E2EE, and favors offline-first choices that don’t require accounts.

Parents own their homes and data. Monitoring a crib shouldn’t entail monitoring a household.

While testing a 'secure' monitor, I captured metadata leaving a home network at 3 a.m.—timestamps, device IDs, even signal strength beacons. The parents weren’t streaming. We replaced it with a local-only model, reset credentials, and watched the logs go quiet. Their shoulders dropped; mine did too.

I prefer devices with on-device viewing or provable E2EE and no mandatory accounts or subscriptions.
