The reliable detection of entanglement plays a crucial role in the construction of quantum networks. The conventional entanglement witness (EW) method has high requirements for measurement device and relies on reliable implementation of the measurement. With unreliable measurement device, EW process can be easily attacked by eavesdroppers, which can lead to incorrect entanglement detection results. Therefore, a feasible and secure measurement device independent entanglement witness (MDIEW) method is desired for constructing quantum networks. Here, we detect the continuous variable entanglement by a MDIEW in a quantum network. It is demonstrated that the conventional EW method can be affected when the local oscillator intensity is changed, while the MDIEW method can detect entanglement between users without being affected. Our results provide a trustworthy method to detect entanglement, which is an important step for constructing secure quantum networks.
