Me being cheap pays off; wifi cameras are expensive as fuck so I just have wired ones that don't do anything on the Internet.
FCC is gunna start blasting
That's why wireless security devices are a joke. And it is not only WiFi, this is BlueTooth and other protocols like that, too.
Good security (and common sense, too) would be to have such devices wired up. And check the spectrum for jammers and raise an alarm about that, too.
Meanwhile, the irony is that WIFI stands for WIred FIdelity
It doesn't.
My cameras have antennas on them but use Ethernet.
Why did they specifically mention to "secure home DVR recorders"?
Other than potentially losing some TV or movies, is that really a big deal next to the other items they mention? It seems really odd to mention one of the least important things.
No. Think about it. Where is all the video from those cameras going? It is digital video, which the homeowner probably wants to record and playback... Many home security setups, particularly those that don't rely on a cloud service, are basically a DVR back end with a security focused UI.
I've never heard of used outside of a cable box. I didn't know security setups would be called that.
But with that information it makes sense.
