Surveillance Camera Software

Surveillance cameras are paramount in ensuring safety in our homes. With the right software, these cameras not only record events but can provide real-time alerts and prevent unauthorized access. However, the rise in the popularity of IP cameras has also seen a spike in hacking attempts, making it essential for users to understand the vulnerabilities and methods to fortify their devices. Many installers are primarily specialized in low-voltage systems and might lack the in-depth knowledge of cybersecurity.
While their setups are often quick and functional, they sometimes overlook crucial security elements:
  1. Direct IP Address Access: By merely using an external IP address or DDNS, many cameras are exposed directly to the internet, making them susceptible to scans and attacks.
  2. Port Forwarding: Some setups involve port forwarding on the router, which, if not secured properly, can serve as an entry point for malicious actors.
Hacking these systems often involves:
  • Brute-forcing: Continuous attempts to guess the password until the correct one is found.
  • Exploiting vulnerabilities: Hackers target known software vulnerabilities in outdated camera firmware or the software it connects to.
  • Sniffing traffic: Interception of data packets to and from the camera, especially if the data is unencrypted.

Fortifying Your Cameras: Router Security

  1. Change Default Credentials: Ensure you change the default usernames and passwords as these are often the first target for brute-force attacks.
  2. Update Firmware Regularly: Ensure your cameras and routers have the latest firmware to avoid known vulnerabilities.
  3. Use VPN: Instead of port forwarding, use a VPN to access your cameras remotely. This encrypts the traffic, making it more difficult for attackers to intercept.
  4. Disable UPnP: Universal Plug and Play can make devices, including cameras, easily discoverable. Disabling it adds an extra layer of protection.
  5. Firewall: Use a firewall to block all unnecessary inbound traffic.

Local and Cloud-Based Solutions


Web Camera Pro
: This desktop software offers advanced functionalities beyond just recording. Features include object recognition, which can differentiate between humans, animals, and vehicles, and set specialized alerts accordingly. Additionally, its encryption ensures that data between the camera and software remains private.
VideoSurveillance.Cloud: This cloud service takes security a notch higher. By uploading events to the cloud, you're not just storing them securely, but also ensuring real-time alerts and access from anywhere without exposing your camera directly to the internet.
Furthermore, cloud services often have dedicated security teams that ensure data integrity and privacy. In the case of any suspicious activity, instant notifications allow for swift action, transforming your surveillance system from mere event recording to proactive threat management.
