But it is also easy to see that many people do not care about the security issues on the camera. Especially young people, the elderly, those who are not tech-savvy and believe too much in the company that installs camera equipment.
There are two popular camera hacking methods
Firstly: is a direct attack on CCTV equipment by scanning the camera’s IP and port, then hackers will find a way to break into the system to view unauthorized images and videos. This attack is very popular because most current camera users often use the default password of the camera service provider.
CCTV is a system including security cameras, surveillance cameras, camera receivers…
Monday: Hackers install spyware on CCTV to create a botnet used in a well-known form of attack known as DDOS. Previously, this form of attack only applied to computer systems, but CCTV also uses an open source operating system based on Linux, so it accidentally suffered the same fate.

The reason why the family’s security camera was hacked
The reason why many people get hacked when they don’t know is usually due to subjectivity and ignorance. They think just using the camera password is enough. The truth is that to use a camera we need 2 types of accounts and 1 encryption.
3 types of information to know:
- The first account is the camera app account
- The second account is the account that accesses the camera’s configuration
- And the type of encoding the camera uses is image encoding
Usually, when they need a technician to install and configure, the camera is already added to the app. So the owner only needs to install the app and enter the account password to be able to view the camera. But the problem here is that they think that just changing the app’s password account is safe and secure. I bet many of you here think the same, right?
Changing the account password of the app is not enough, you need to change the account and encrypt the image again. Unlucky, you will encounter a lazy technician, leaving the default password and encryption of the manufacturer so that’s bad. So it will be very easy when someone can join your home network to have full access to the camera, hack the camera successfully. So please note to do the following:
- Technical requirements deliver the above 3 types of information
- Change it up and don’t tell anyone
Just by doing that, you can safely use the camera. If you don’t believe it, then you can use the camera with confidence Here are some camera hacks for you to read.
