As they say: in IoT the S stands for security.

There’s some irony to security not being a priority for security cameras. Different kind of security I know, but still.

There's also some irony in people happily ignoring that so many of these products live-stream the inside view of their homes and offices to some foreign corporate cloud - and in the case of suspiciously many Chinese security cameras, a state-backed corporation's cloud. Because, wow, it really is convenient.

Which is exactly why alll my cameras live in their own VLAN with no internet access, regardless of how trustworthy the company may be. Better safe than sorry and all that.

Especially these days there’s really no excuse
