Security flaws in two surveillance camera brands used around the world have been identified by Panorama.
Chinese-made surveillance cameras are in British offices, high streets and even government buildings - and Panorama has investigated security flaws involving the two top brands. How easy is it to hack them and what does it mean for our security?
I chuck these cheap cameras onto an isolated network with no internet access (separate VLAN).
They’re only accessible through the open source NVR software I use, and by another isolated VM on the same vlan to configure them with their propietary software
Most of the newer cameras don’t start up the local RTSP stream if they can’t access the internet which is a bit of a shame.
