No, you can't.
If you're talking about video baby monitors in general, you can say:
If you're talking about a specific video baby monitor or about a specific type or model of video baby monitor, you can say:
If it's a product sold as "Video Baby Monitor", you could write it without an article:
Digital encryption transmission will provide safe and private service of this device. - so in this sentence should also be the definite article? – trenccan – 2017-09-15T20:15:38.757
1No, it is correct because the transmission is uncountable word ;) I guess – trenccan – 2017-09-15T20:18:11.077
1True - although if it's for an article and follows on from previous sentences about the device, I would be more likely to begin the sentence with the words "Its digitally encrypted transmissions" (or "Their" if the previous sentence had been worded in the plural). If it's for a technical specification or bullet points or advertising copy then "Digitally encrypted transmission" is fine. – rjpond – 2017-09-15T20:31:15.947
2You should know that advertising copy and bullet lists are often telegraphic, meaning they leave out words that are required in Standard Written English. They are also often trying to be "hip" rather than "correct." Don't take them as a guideline for the Right Thing. – zwol – 2017-09-15T20:35:14.780
7Note that you should write "prevention of" here, not "prevention from". – rjpond – 2017-09-15T19:40:08.917
