Cloud-connected cameras come with a range of caveats, the least of which is the reliance on third-party servers for all your private data and personal footage. Your security camera footage is only as good as what you can do with it, and smart camera manufacturers make it astonishingly hard to wrangle that data from their control. Having dabbled in some of the best cloud-connected security cameras, I recently decided to redo my home security system and moved to a completely self-owned, offline IP camera solution. In hindsight, it was the best decision I made for my home security system. Here are a few reasons why. What kind of security cameras do you use? 1683 votes I prefer cloud connected camera like those by Ring and Nest. 32 % I use IP based cameras like those by Ubiquiti and Hikvision. 47 % I don't use any security cameras. 21 % Practical advantages Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority When...

You've pored over dozens of vacation rentals to find the perfect one for your next getaway. You've spent a ton of time planning the trip to a T and you're super excited to finally enjoy your stay. But now, as you start to pack your bags with your favorite travel pillow , your portable hair dryer , and all of your other travel necessities for your upcoming vacay, your heart suddenly sinks at the thought of something you heard about recently: Short-term rentals might feature hidden cameras to keep tabs on vacationers. Ick. No one wants to be watched while they're, well, anywhere , but especially not while they're staying in a vacation rental — but it's totally allowed in many cases! At best, you may just find a security camera that's allowed outside of the property (though, admittedly, those doorbell cams are still kind of weird ). But, your vacation rental listing service of choice might allow security cameras and noise monitoring devices in any and all c...

Once again, another IoT device that has been recently developed and sold commercially leaves users extremely vulnerable to cyberattacks through sheer stupidity. What security flaw does the Victure VD300 expose its customers to, what common practices can help strengthen IoT devices, and why is it so important? What was the major security flaw in the Victure VD300? If it's one topic that has been at the heart of IoT and IIoT technologies for the past two years, it's security. The vast number of IoT devices being produced is creating a network numbering in the billions. Such quantity of data is helping to drive next-generation technology, including AI, and the use of IoT devices in everyday life helps to improve it, even if it's only a small improvement. The more devices that are present on a system, the more likely it is to be attacked, and this is why activists and companies alike are becoming increasingly concerned about IoT security. Some governments are taking IoT sec...

Cameras We considered the type of cameras that the security system provides and how many there are. You should know that, for optimum safety, cameras should be set up both inside and outside the house. Cameras installed indoors can be equipped with infrared lighting and motion sensors to notify the owner immediately of any suspicious activity. Many outdoor cameras also feature motion-activated floodlights and are designed to withstand all types of weather. Some models can even capture hours of footage and stream it in real-time. Added to that is the fact that the mere presence of a camera is sometimes enough to deter a would-be intruder. Nightvision In addition to being able to see during the day, a camera should also be able to do so at night. There are two types of night vision technology: infrared, which uses LED sensors and generates black and white footage; and color, which uses powerful white illumination. We checked out various options to make sure that the cameras, which are th...
