Home and Office Security Made Safe and Affordable

Another year ending and with it comes renewed optimism and a chance to start the new year off on a positive note. A good plan for protecting your employees, customers, assets and family members starts with a solid security shield designed and installed by ESI. Emergency Systems Inc, a leader in the office and home security field for almost forty years has been protecting businesses and families with state-of-the-art security solutions from the world’s leading security manufacturers. In todays, fast pace technological world, many are turning to the internet for security product solutions. This sometimes comes with a price which can turn a simple security device into a hacker’s godsend. If you are considering a WiFi security camera for your home or office you need to be aware that many of the less expensive cameras often made in places like China can easily be hacked by potential thieves. The British Broadcasting Service (BBC) did a story on Russian hackers who showed how easy it is to access WiFi transmitted, non-secured video cameras in use in more than 250 separate countries displaying the security field they were employed to protect. Many of these reports revealed that these WiFi digital cameras had the potential of being used against the owners employing them, simply because they were online and un-secured. This vulnerability is not widely known by the general public because of the attraction of being able to purchase cheap video cameras online, at prices starting as low as $25.00 a single unit. Hackers have the ability to access many of these WiFi video products and upload their own photos, interrupt the service or even display a still, video photograph making the end-user think that all is well while the viewing field is being monitored for nefarious reasons. Hundreds of thousands of these products have been purchased and their surveillance vulnerabilities that allow hackers access to the devices have been well documented.

Video Surveillance Pitfalls

WiFi digital security cameras can be compromised and this can lead to cybercriminals being able to connect to your internet router having the potential to access your entire WiFi network. Less expensive digital cameras purchased from specific manufacturers on the internet do not have security shields built into them. Many of these so-called secured WiFi video cameras run on what is known in the industry as non-default ports that are accessed by and monitored by cyber-hackers. The internet is constantly being scanned by these attackers looking for these active ports finding digital online camera’s in use. Then it’s a matter of accessing the video feed and identifying the location of the monitored field of view, home, office, building or specific internal area. What one thinks about when installing a video camera and then accessing its recording field is a safe and secure way of protecting one’s assets. What could be worse than cyber criminals having access to the same video, at the same time and being able to see what you are trying to protect, scary.
