How to prevent the home webcam from being invaded?

To prevent the home network camera from being invaded, the following methods can be adopted: making up the camera loophole, upgrading the firmware of the surveillance camera in time, increasing the complexity of the password, setting a strong password and replacing it regularly, separating the surveillance camera from the network, and setting up a private network for the surveillance camera.

1. Make up the camera loophole and upgrade the surveillance camera firmware in time.

Unless you buy cameras of different brands, surveillance cameras produced by regular manufacturers generally provide firmware upgrade services. Once a security vulnerability is found, the manufacturer will update the firmware program accordingly. Official website, a camera manufacturer, should be visited frequently. Generally, you can find the latest firmware upgrade program of the corresponding camera model and update the program in time to prevent the vulnerability from being exploited by hackers.

2. Increase the complexity of passwords, set strong passwords and change them regularly.

Generally, after the camera leaves the factory, there will be a default user name and password. This password is very unsafe. Some people often forget to modify or pay little attention to it when using it, and feel that it doesn't matter. But the fact is, if you don't modify it, some scanning software can easily crack your username and password, which means anyone can access your camera.

In addition, don't change it to a simple password, because simple passwords are also easy to crack. After professional testing, some weak passwords, such as: admin,1111,123456, 123456789, mima and passwords, often

3. Separate the surveillance camera from the network, and set up a private network for the surveillance camera.

The surveillance camera does not use the same network segment as other network devices. Divide the surveillance camera into independent network segments, and set up an independent network if possible to avoid the network being attacked by hackers and the privacy being leaked by other network devices.

Finally, if it is a wireless connection, you can choose a network with a higher encryption level in WPA2 encryption format, check the choice of wireless routers at home, and choose WAP2 encryption format.

The way the camera was hacked

1, through weak password, weak password invasion.

This situation has been invaded the most, because everyone casually sets the account password. In many cases, the factory default password will be used directly. When a hacker breaks through the home WiFi LAN, he can directly scan the camera IP by opening the address scanning software, and then log in to the camera with the default account password or password dictionary. If the login is successful, he can hijack it.

Now this situation is improving. At present, mainstream manufacturers in the first line have the function of activating the camera, and there will be no original weak password. The new password must meet the requirements of numbers and uppercase and lowercase letters.

2. Data transmission is not encrypted.

When some cameras transmit, the data is not encrypted, and the traffic is directly hijacked by attackers. Now, security companies encrypt data throughout the transmission process.

3. The vulnerability broke out and the firmware update was not timely.

No product can be 100% perfect, and it needs iterative updating. Just like a computer operating system, it needs constant revision. The big factory will push the latest firmware update camera and fix the vulnerability every time it breaks.
