The sad part is the majority doesn't know how and why they should do this. They just get their personal lives broadcast to the web for all to see. There was or at least used to be a subreddit showing the more interesting exposed cams.


How likely is it that for someone who isn't technically as adept as a team at a (good) cloud NVR provider, the security is actually worse? Bit like rolling your own crypto.


Verkada set the bar awfully low:

> The hackers gained access to Verkada through a “Super Admin” account, allowing them to peer into the cameras of all of its customers. They found the user name and password of the account publicly exposed on the internet

Don't put your personal stuff directly on the internet, use separate admin accounts with 2FA, gg, you're doing better than Verkada - comically valued at $1.6B
