A man is suing in a class action complaint filed today after he discovered that he could see and hear into neighbors' homes, and vice versa, by way of a common baby monitor.
Wes Denkov says that six months after he purchased the "Summer Day and Night Video Monitor" to monitor his infant son, his next door neighbor and parent of newborn twins informed him that the video and audio from Denkov's monitor was being received on the neighbor's monitor.
According to the complaint, when the neighbor's unit was on a particular channel, Denkov's baby's room was completely visible and all conversation within the room could be heard by the neighbor. The complaint also states that Denkov and his wife would enter the baby's room at all hours of the day and night and his wife would often breast-feed the baby in the room.
