Surveillance cameras keep your home safe and help you monitor and protect your children, but they can be compromised which affects your privacy and can be a danger to you and your family.

Methods to secure home surveillance cameras:

1. Update the cameras’ systems constantly.
2. Install the cameras and necessary equipment through trusted service providers
3. Do not access the surveillance system through public networks
4. Change the default factory settings and use an unrepeated password. Change the password regularly and do not share it with the service provider
5. Enable two-factor authentication if available
6. Communicate only with trusted service providers for support and maintenance
7. Setup a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) on your home network and use it only for the surveillance systems, which include the cameras.
8. Watch the camera’s light; as it can be compromised if the light is on when it is not being used. Make sure to unplug it immediately when you suspect that it is compromised.
