Philips Avent: reconstructing SCD923/26 local communication
Philips Avent Local Protocols investigates the SCD923/26 baby monitor's QR pairing, encrypted control session, RTSP video and separate ADPCM audio channels. The study combines handheld firmware analysis, isolated ARM emulation and tests against a paired baby unit. It marks discovery behavior and SCD973 authentication as unresolved.
