A Scottish mum was horrified after claiming to discover a bloke 'shushing' her baby through a baby monitor bought from an independent manufacturer on Amazon - leaving her fearing the family have been SPIED on for weeks.

Claire Cummings was baffled when her son Aiden, now two, began waking up terrified and screaming every night at around 2am with seemingly no explanation.The 25-year-old mum says that over the course of a month, the tot's behaviour completely changed and he was terrified of his own bedroom.The nurse said she often woke in the night to the sound of a shushing noise coming from Aiden's room early last year but assumed she'd been dreaming.But Claire and husband Jamie Cummings, 31, were horrified when they discovered she hadn't been imagining the noise as they both heard a male voice shushing Aiden through the Victure Baby Monitor wifi indoor camera.She fears that her son had been watched for weeks after he woke screaming every night at the same time for a whole month, sometimes pointing at the £19.99 monitor.The couple set out to catch whoever had been scaring their son by positioning the camera in the living room and monitoring it overnight but the pair gave up before 2am and went to bed.Consumer magazine Which?

claimed it was 'worryingly simple' to gain root access to another model of Victure's cameras, the 1080p, when their researchers tested a series of cameras two years ago.

Claire, from West Lothian, said: "It had been going on for weeks where he'd wake up in the night crying, but not a normal cry, a terrified cry. "It got to the point where he was too terrified to go in his own room.
