This is why you shouldn’t use cloud services for personal security, because the cloud is just someone else’s computer.

Also, quit putting unnecessary, Internet connected cameras indoors.

I seriously cannot fathom the amount of people that seem to want to put cameras up in their own bedrooms and just let them stream video constantly.

It has nothing to do with any serious home security, and everything to do with mindless consumerism. Hopefully it's a trend that will pass.

LMAO don't put a fucking camera in your bedroom you dummies

Don't kink shame me! Gaping security violations get me all hot and bothered. Sometimes I check my bank account on public WiFi, just for the thrill.

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 22 points 11 months ago

Checking your bank account on public wifi is perfectly safe thanks to TLS.

[-] recapitated@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

There's more to good opsec than encrypted transport, but for most people this is probably true. Maybe also avoid being in camera view especially without MFA.

If you want to investigate gaping holes on the internet, you could skip the camera and go straight to pornhub

Better: don't connect your cameras to the internet

I'd assume fucking cameras are made specifically for the bedroom.

This is what you show people when they say they don’t care about privacy because they have nothing to hide.

[-] wafflez@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

We should compile a big list of reasons with sources on top of this one

I know it's not 100% the same, but there's a website that gives you access to insecure webcams and has been for ages!

http://www.insecam.org/

Obviously these aren't hacked as per the article

[-] Takumidesh@lemmy.world 31 points 11 months ago

Ironic that the website itself is http.

just looking around randomly and it's weird how many of them are private property.

[-] netburnr@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Why is it weird? People get cameras to protect their private property?

Why the fuck do people put security cameras in their bedrooms? It's so weird to me that people do this. Even if you think (or at least thought) that you were the only one with access to the footage, won't the presence of a camera make you feel like you're being watched? Are we not on camera enough as it is that we have to be on camera in the supposed privacy of our bedrooms? Imagine if you told George Orwell that people would willingly put cameras in their most personal and private spaces.

Some do it to potentially document accidents - I know some racial minorities in my country that say they are accused of child abuse and investigated at the drop of the hat if they bring their kid to the doctor and they have any kind of bruise. I heard of a Muslim woman who lost custody of her kid for 48 hours until she was able to produce CCTV footage of her child breaking his arm in a playground accident, and not due to some act of child abuse.

So,, having a cam that catches your kid experiencing an innocuous fall wherever it may be in the house is a good security measure, particularly if the justice system comes at you preloaded with bias.

Link didn't work for me there was nowhere to actually buy the videos. Where is the correct link?

[-] jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.dev 17 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Sus af bruh wtf

Edit because im being down voted, i find it so insane that you guys are actively seeking out hacked ip cam footage from innocent people that's being leaked online.

There's tons of porn on the Internet, and no reason for you all to be trying to PAY SOMEONE for non-consensual sexual footage

[-] RobertoOberto@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago

I think you just missed a joke.

[-] jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.dev 7 points 11 months ago

Maybe, but i disagree because the way to make that joke would have been to use /s or quote the well known IASIP line.

The way they wrote it, someone literally responded where they can find the telegram user for access

Hypothetically I want to secure my home with Cameras…

What’s the best way to do this? OSS preferably.

[-] Vorticity@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

So, just an FYI, I bought Eufy cameras because I believed their marketing bullshit about being secure and end-to-end encrypted. About two months later they changed how they describe their security and quietly modified their privacy policy. Turns out they're not really end-to-end encrypted and it is possible to gain access to the streams sometimes.

My recommendation, after doing my research is not to buy anything that is able to be viewed remotely. Buy something that stores the video locally, in your home. If possible, buy and install wired cameras.

[-] recapitated@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

The most important thing is just to have cameras that are positioned to watch you in bed.

[-] aodhsishaj@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Zoneminder and any IP camera you can afford.

If you setup wireless you would be best served using a VLAN

[-] vpklotar@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

I'm just about to setup TP-link cameras connected to Frigate (NVR software) with a Coral TPU for offline object detection. This means I can block access to internet for the cameras and use a VPN home if I want to watch them.

it's funny the vnexpress would publish this. vietnamese people are obsessed with security cameras. they see them as a deterrent, or as a way to find the perpetrator later and get all your property back. they put them everywhere.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago

footages

You're going to be upset when you fail the 4thbgrade.

[-] profoundninja@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

No no foot fetish footage, "footages". They're calling out foot fetish enjoyers.
