OFweek smart home network news Some time ago, Meizi Dad bought two home smart cameras of a certain brand to go home, the United States called "to protect home security." After a while, Plum returned home and found that Dad had already removed the two home smart cameras. Asked why the camera was eating ash, Dad didn't say it in detail. However, recently, after Mei Zi saw a TV station's report on the security of home smart cameras, he discovered that Dad may be worried about security problems on the other hand. This is the home privacy security problem that home smart cameras may bring. Why buy a home smart camera? According to Mei Zi’s observations, people who purchase smart home cameras are generally out of the following two requirements: The first is that elderly people, children, or pets need care at home, but they cannot stay home for long-term care due to work reasons. At this time the home smart camera can play a role instead of observation; the second is for home security needs, the camera is placed in the door position, used as an anti-theft camera. It can be said that people who buy home smart cameras are basically purchased for home security. However, these cameras, which are often used to protect home security, have sometimes become the “culprits†for divulging family privacy. Did you buy a home smart camera? Currently there are many home smart cameras on the market. Search "Home Smart Camera" in JD. There are 7500+ pieces of merchandise. There are many brands like millet (small ants, rice millet), 360, and ZTE that we are familiar with. Several products have tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of comments, and it can be speculated that sales are also very substantial. From the price range, these relatively high-volume cameras are basically within the range of 150-400. This price range is not particularly high, and many families can afford to purchase a camera. In the past, we had to install some professional-grade security cameras. In addition to having a relatively large cost on the equipment, it may sometimes require professionals to install and maintain them. The overall cost is very high. However, these home smart cameras now appear, in addition to their own relatively low prices, are relatively simple to install, the overall cost can be said to be very low. However, at the same time with low cost, these cameras also have certain security risks. Is your home smart camera safe? The security problem of home smart cameras is actually not a day or two. The above mentioned report from a certain TV station mentioned that a large number of home cameras had been invaded. Some people captured these home smart cameras by breaking the camera's IP address, user name, and password. "Prices sold to peepers, which even have a picture of a family bedroom." The home smart camera is cracked, in addition to the problems that may bring home privacy, some criminals may also use the method of cracking the camera, implant some still images to blind users who use the home smart camera to achieve some illegal purposes. For example, stealing. Home smart camera may be a tool for hackers to peek The quality and safety monitoring conducted by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine for smart camera products in the near future showed that of the 38 brands of 40 smart camera products selected by them, 32 batches of products had unqualified items, most of them. The problems have appeared on the cloud platform used by smart cameras. According to tests conducted by network security experts, some cloud platforms are very easy to crack. If different brands use the same cloud platform to store background data, they can also view real-time images transmitted by home smart cameras across brands. If the user uses a low-power user name and password on the home smart camera, the difficulty of cracking is greatly reduced. Doing home smart camera will be more secure The problem with the security of home smart cameras is not a good thing for users and vendors. Both manufacturers and users need to take some measures to improve the security of home smart cameras. Vendor: Enhancing Home Smart Camera Product Security from Technology As a product provider, manufacturers of home smart cameras should improve the security of home smart camera products from the source. If you rely on your own settings, you can't fundamentally improve the security of your home smart camera products. Currently, the problem of home smart cameras is mainly on the cloud platform. Therefore, manufacturers should improve the security of the cloud platform, such as encrypting data on the cloud platform to ensure data security. For different brands of devices using the same cloud platform can be cracked at the same time, the cloud platform needs to take some measures to reduce the risk of user data leakage. For the device itself, the manufacturer can also make some settings. For example, each device is attached with a different initial password. When the user logs in to the device for the first time, the user can force the user to change the initial password and limit the user only. Strong passwords can be used. The manufacturer can even prompt the user at intervals to remind the user to change the password. In addition, the manufacturer may also provide an abnormal login prompt to the user. When the user account connected to the home smart camera is not at the time when the user is frequently logged in, the user is reminded of possible risks and prompts them to change the password. User: Use a strong password to close the camera when not needed As a user who has purchased a home smart camera, is there any other way to improve the security of the camera being used, even if the manufacturer has not yet enhanced the security of the camera? The answer is yes. Overly simple weak passwords are easily cracked by hackers. Even if manufacturers do not prompt, users should use stronger passwords and make regular changes to better ensure privacy is not compromised. The security of the router to which the camera is connected is also very important, so the router should also use a strong password and change it regularly. If you purchase a home smart camera for theft prevention, you can actually try to keep the camera facing outside the door instead of facing home. If it is because of care for the elderly, children or pets, etc., the camera must be facing the home, so when the user can take care of themselves, may wish to turn off the home smart camera or power off, this can be more assured. In fact, Mei Zi still hopes that these home smart cameras can be more secure, it is really able to provide security for our home security, and we can also use it with confidence. However, in the current situation, Meizi can only allow Dad to change the password of the two home smart cameras at home, and then continue to use it.
