I've tried finding a camera that has a server that can encrypt traffic, and I can't. It'd be nice to have access from outside of my network but I don't trust it. It really took me by surprise how bad at security these things are. I guess I could set up some kind of vpn but I assumed when I bought it I could enable ssl or something.
- Retr0spectrum 10y agoPossibly overkill, but you could set up some kind of home VPN to remote in securely.
- tener 10y agoThis is probably the only way to be sure about security in this scenario.
- m_eiman 10y agoMaybe the Apple HomeKit ones are better - at least it'd be a big PR problem for Apple if they aren't.
- walrus01 10y agoPut IP cameras in their own VLAN on a network that also contains network DVR software. Access it via VPN tunnel and/or https. For unauthorized access to an individual camera somebody would need to be on the same layer 2 broadcast domain as the camera, local on site. Following that principle, if an adversary has physical access to a device it's likely pwned anyways.
