WHY WE WANT TO HAVE SECURITY CAMERAS?

Many of us have these reasons for installing any security camera:

·    To secure our family especially kids. To have an eye on them when we are out of our homes.

·    To secure our offices from any thieves, securing important documents, data and other stuff.

·   To secure our businesses like shops, hotels, restaurants.

And there may be some more related reasons.

BUT !

ARE WE REALLY SECURE USING THEM?

The ANSWER is NOT!

Why? You can have a look on following pictures.

There are various softwares that play various roles in taking control on your security devices.

These softwares can monitor different CCTVs and other smart devices from all around the world at same time.

Hacking your homes, offices, and businesses.

WHAT HACKERS CAN DO?

·       They can crack your easy passwords

·       They can misuse your security cameras

·       They can watch you, without you knowing it

·      They can hear you, have your personal conversations on record

·    They can talk to you using your smart devices / CCTVs (internet dependent or Wifi dependent devices)

·    They can share your personal content to the whole world LIVE!!! This means that they can broadcast your personal regime over internet

WHAT YOU CAN DO?

·   DO NOT keep same default passwords provided by companies from where you have bought your security cameras. After installation instantly change these passwords.

·  Try to have good passwords i.e., at-least 16 characters long and they MUST NOT be any meaningful phrase. Passwords MUST INCLUDE mix numbers, characters, and letters.

·  Always use those cameras systems that require TWO-Step Security Authentication. i.e., when you login to your cameras apps it may ask some code either sent on your contact number or email id, to prove that you are the original person to operate your Camera Software.

·     DO NOT just buy and install these CCTVs and leave them on their own. The least you can is CHECK WEEKLY either there are some updates available for your system. Keep your security system's softwares updated.

·       DO NOT use cheap insecure cameras. UNPLUG them instantly! If you do not know either your installed security system is REALLY SECURE, CONSULT AUTHENTIC PERSON (Tech Expert) to check it for you.

·       TRY TO USE these systems at places only where your privacy is at little risk.

·       ABOVE DO's AND DON'Ts CAN BE APPLIED FOR ANY OTHER DEVICE (SMART DEVICE) THAT USES INTERNET ACCESS!!!
