What Paul Tracey can say in an interview on
Doorbell Cameras:

      • Doorbell cams and Home security cameras pose as much if not more risk than benefit.
      • In some cases, if an attacker gains access to these devices they can gain access to the video feed and microphones. This creates several risks even if the cameras are not inside the house.

      • If someone gains access to a camera feed they can determine when you have received packages and are not home. They gain an understanding of your daily patterns and time away from the home. They can determine when your children are home alone.

Solutions

Although many of these attacks appear to begin in the supply chain, there are things you can do to help prevent these issues:

      • Research the vendor for security policy updates for the product.
      • Change all default passwords on the devices – Do not use admin password options.
      • Separate these devices on your network and check firewall rules with vendor specifications.
      • Keep all firmware up to date on IoT devices and make sure your notifications are on to alert you when an update has been released.
