Somewhat related, be very careful buying IP cameras. A lot have been shown to have backdoors to different countries. Trying to find a good PTZ outdoor IP camera has been a mine field since I'll find one and then a reviewer will look at the traffic it's sending and see very very sketchy stuff. My friend bought a hidden camera for his house only to see it was sending video traffic to china.
- jhulla 9y agoThis is why I keep a bunch of equipment by default on an isolated subnet where the router drops all packets to the outside world. Doesn't matter what the device is trying to do. Connecting to these devices requires one level of indirect - where I connect first to an internal machine that can send packets to/from the hidden subnet.
- post_break 9y agoYeah that's a good plan. I've read reviews where some cameras just stop working after a while when this is done too. It's a shit show.
