Allows integration with local smart hubs (like Home Assistant).
Check your recorded videos occasionally to ensure the camera is not capturing anything you did not intend. If you see a neighbour’s private space in the frame, adjust the camera angle or privacy zone immediately. Allows integration with local smart hubs (like Home

You don’t have to choose between a safe home and a private life. By being an intentional consumer, you can mitigate most risks associated with home security systems. By being an intentional consumer, you can mitigate
Never keep indoor cameras on when you are home. Better yet, point indoor cameras only at exit doors (front and back) and keep them out of bedrooms and bathrooms. Smart plugs are a great hack here: plug the indoor camera into a smart plug that turns off when your phone connects to the home WiFi. When you leave, the camera turns on.
A single security vulnerability in a hardware, software, or cloud platform can affect millions of devices at once. In May 2026, it was reported that more than one million internet‑connected baby monitors and security cameras may have been exposed through flaws tied to Meari Technology, whose infrastructure powers more than 300 white‑label camera brands sold on marketplaces like Amazon. These weaknesses included exposed backend systems, publicly accessible images, weak encryption, and hardcoded credentials that could not be easily rotated without physically reflashing the hardware. One vulnerability allowed any free CloudEdge account to subscribe to device notifications and monitor camera activity in real time across the platform. This case highlights the hidden risk of “whiteboxed products and fragmented accountability” in the IoT supply chain.
