UK National Cyber Security Centre has released guidance on how to set up smart security cameras and baby monitors to avoid having them hacked by attackers. Such devices make it possible to watch a live camera feed over the Internet, receive activity alerts when you’re not around the house, and even record surveillance footage for reviewing later in case of any incidents. The NCSC recommends changing the default password your device ships with a strong passphrase-based password built using three random words you would easily remember. It also recommends disabling Internet access to the smart security camera if you don’t use the feature allowing for viewing camera footage remotely.
