Before installing a CCTV system, consider the following:
Despite years of warnings, modern research shows the problem persists. In , security researchers found over 40,000 cameras still streaming unsecured footage worldwide. Ease of Access
: Higher resolution cameras provide clearer images. The field of view (FOV) determines how much area a single camera can cover.
: Data is often transmitted over unencrypted HTTP, allowing third parties to intercept video feeds or login credentials. 3. Impact and Threats Top 10 Vulnerabilities that Make IoT Devices Insecure
However, you can disable the web server entirely. Many professional cameras allow you to turn off the HTTP interface and only use RTSP or ONVIF protocols via a dedicated VMS (Video Management Software). If you don't need the web UI, turn it off.
