  1. How to Protect Your Security Camera System from Hackers

  2. Home security camera systems are now accountable to a new sort of threat. Hackers are compromising home surveillance cameras to fake emergencies — some have even developed to the extent of getting the police involved in a critical hijacking prank called “swatting.” While the objective may be harmless, “swatting” can have dangerous afterneffects. We don’t ever need to see somebody’s device intended for security and protection used by vicious hijackers, which is why we advocate these tips in safeguarding your security camera system.

  3. Change Your Passwords The most familiar way hackers acquire access to your security camera system is by using credentials that they hacked from a separate data breach. Over half of internet users report using a similar password or a somewhat modified version of a single password across different domains. Are you managing the same password across various domains? It is better to use different passwords for different sites and make it a bit challenging to guess. The easiest way to do this is by adding lowercase, uppercase, digits, and even special characters. Using more characters makes your password more complex and harder it will be to crack. If you are going to do it the “simple” way, ensure you don’t add identifying data that can be found anywhere on the internet or social channels in your created new password.

  4. Set Up Two-Factor Authentication This process might require some insight to carry out, but if you can learn two-factor authentication, it is a strong extra layer of security. Two-factor authentication needs you to input another password that is randomly generated every time you sign in to your security camera system. While some security camera installations Brisbane offer two-factor authentication by default, some services do not have that option built-in.

  5. Have Your Security System Installed Professionally? The security camera system hacks in Australia are rising as compared to many other countries. The fundamental problem with IP cameras is that they are all connected to the internet — where cyber criminals are continually identifying new means to gain access to private data. Sadly, there isn’t any business that can confidently say their security camera systems are unhackable. So it is critical to engage professional people to install your security systems.
