Are your security cameras vulnerable to hacking?

I used to use HikVision and I know for a fact there's a backdoor in. I've exploited it myself when I couldn't reach the camera via "conventional" means.

You can use google to get into camera feeds by using specific search terms...

No They have a 250M range and are mobile. Damn Terminators Moving around with them.

If you get bored you can even sit and look at the view from other people's Hikvision cameras.

Hikvision System, but it is on a separate offline network, as I am paranoid like that. It is only accessible via VPN, it can't even update it's own time...

 

[The_Librarian]

Ours is on a separate network sans internet access.

As it should be.

We can access the DVR remotely and view the camera feeds, but we cannot access the cameras from our LAN except through the DVR.

 

[The Voice]

Rule of thumb: if it has an IP, you're not the only one who can access it.

**** like this scared me. Hence why I got a Mikrotik which could handle multiple VLANs and different DHCP servers. Also firewall that does not allow comms between them

 

[My_King]

VLANS are a must for any IoT... good man

Just wished I could have more than one public IP

So what are they even going to see? Me scratching myself on the couch?

They can see when you are not at home so they can come and take your couch...

 

[Marcell1992]

So much for SECURITY cameras.

 

[schuits]

This was covered, it's not about accessing the cameras so much as accesing the rest of the LAN via the camera or DVR which runs a complete OS.

They can do that? Oh geez. Lucky I took mine offline, mainly cause I was lazy...not out of security concerns.

I tend to prance around in my undies at night and 'water the plants'. Not stuff I'd like exposed to the net
