Security Camera Safety | Help Prevent Your Cameras from Being Hacked 

Sorry I cannot help but are you safe?

@@infinitymaster8872 Hi Infinity Master, sorry we didn't get back to you sooner. And yes, we are safe and we are real people working hard to help out. To answer your question it is possible someone may have gotten in through the sync module, but they'd have to have a lot of know-how and determination to do it. If you're worried about digital attacks through your Wi-Fi or cameras, have you considered looking at cameras with local storage? They connect to your Wi-Fi, but anything they record goes straight to an SD card inside.

@@asksafewise They can still view his footage. Local storage or not.

@@MidnightPodcast How could they view the footage if it is stored locally? I thought that was the safe route.

welp, make sure your cameras are working properly, turn on your TV to a regular channel, go to a friends or neighbors house and ask them to turn to that channel, compare, are your cameras in live time or are they being spoofed? also, always have something that moves or is on that your motion detector has been asked to ignore, television, something, a fish tank is nice something so you can tell if your screen is live or if its been frozen, if they freeze the feed they can gain access to your home and when you look at your app on your cell phone it appears if all is good, use hardware security for you camera security system.. use motion detection that can ignore whatever you command it to ignore, any good system has push, email and SMS alerts, so if any unauthorized motion is detected you get the notification, open app, see what's happening.. turn push notification volume to 10 on your phone so you hear it if ever your feed is dead or blank call neighbors security or police.. do NOT skimp on the system cost, use a good system that's secure and stable, also try not to strain the system, many complain because they have a monitor connected to the cams, then a computer, a hard drive, then a cell app.. use only one + hard drive, let the hard drive record everything else, so yes you want a system that records to your own physical hard drive 24/7 every cam you have.. no cloud or subscription garbage.. that way you can go back and look at any given date and time... hard drives like a 2 TB will record like a year or two, when its full get another, hand them down to your kids or grandchildren later on down the road.. research the most secure camera security system available and go from there, use long passwords and usernames, longest permitted then change now and then and use ciphering if available..do not compromise on cost or the system may be counterintuitive and someone may use it against you.. also, do not only have cams inside, you want them outside so motion detection can alert you someone is approaching your home, secure EVERYTHING in your router, as in enable mac address manual input, this way NOTHING will be able to access your router unless you manually type it into the list of accepted devices... hide your radio signal.. "do not broadcast your SSID" basically secure your router to the max... no one should be able to access it at that point, as in park outside, gain access to cameras through your router then freeze the cams and gain entry..
