How to Protect Your Security Camera System from Hackers 
                     How to Protect Your 
Security Camera System 
from Hackers

Home security camera systems are now accountable to a new sort of threat. 
Hackers are compromising home surveillance cameras to fake emergencies — 
some have even developed to the extent of getting the police involved in a critical 
hijacking prank called “swatting.”
 
While the objective may be harmless, “swatting” can have dangerous 
afterneffects. We don’t ever need to see somebody’s device intended for security 
and protection used by vicious hijackers, which is why we advocate these tips in 
safeguarding your security camera system.

Change Your Passwords
The most familiar way hackers acquire access to your security camera system is by 
using credentials that they hacked from a separate data breach. Over half of internet 
users report using a similar password or a somewhat modified version of a single 
password across different domains.
 
Are you managing the same password across various domains? It is better to use 
different passwords for different sites and make it a bit challenging to guess. The 
easiest way to do this is by adding lowercase, uppercase, digits, and even special 
characters. Using more characters makes your password more complex and harder it 
will be to crack.
 
 If you are going to do it the “simple” way, ensure you don’t add identifying data that can 
be found anywhere on the internet or social channels in your created new password.

Set Up Two-Factor Authentication
This process might require some insight to carry out, but if you can learn two-
factor authentication, it is a strong extra layer of security. Two-factor 
authentication needs you to input another password that is randomly 
generated every time you sign in to your security camera system. 
 
While some security camera installations Brisbane offer two-factor 
authentication by default, some services do not have that option built-in. 

Have Your Security System Installed Professionally?
The security camera system hacks in Australia are rising as compared to many 
other countries. The fundamental problem with IP cameras is that they are all 
connected to the internet — where cyber criminals are continually identifying new 
means to gain access to private data.
Sadly, there isn’t any business that can confidently say their security camera 
systems are unhackable. So it is critical to engage professional people to install your 
security systems.
