The company does not retain any control or ownership over the operation, use, inputs, or outputs of the product after it has been purchased by the consumer.
The baby monitor comes with a dedicated handset to interact with the camera and microphone that are both contained in the monitor. This handset is not connected to the internet and does not rely on the manufacturer to function. Therefore, its functionality cannot be altered after purchase.
However, the mobile app that can be used to control and receive video and audio from the baby monitor relies on servers maintained by the manufacturer in order to operate in the expected manner.
Through this requirement for the app, the manufacturer could exert control over the operation, use, or outputs of the product.
