[QUOTE="Sleepingwiththefish, post: 1065248"] I have seen many ipcams getting easily hacked. Even many basic models come with motion detection and e-mail notification. People find them very easy to use. The problem is that those cameras have very little protection when they are connected to internet... After someone hacks the system, email login credentials will be open to use, also feeds from the camera, and eventually it will compromise the whole LAN. I personally have one IPcam that I can access from everywhere but through a OpenVPN tunnel (encrypted), the camera can't even communicate with internet, it's blocked by firewall. Not a easy system to setup, but it's worth it. [USER=175144]@Channel Hopper[/USER] Might be better just having there without email alarms than expose the house even more, like you say they can act as deterrent, people will never now how they are actually set up. ((but maybe then better install fake cams :confused??)) [/QUOTE]
