How you power the camera Outdoor cameras need reliable power. Some users have no problems recharging a battery every several months. Others may want to place cameras in positions where regular recharging is difficult. Wired versions of cameras skip this step but often require existing wiring or electrical work. Then there's PoE or Power over Ethernet, which supplies both an internet connection and power at the same time but requires a dedicated Ethernet line. These days, we're also seeing a growing number of solar outdoor cameras that offer a charging alternative. All those choices come down to ease of use: We're looking for cams with reliable power options, excellent battery life, usable solar panels and other home-friendly aspects.

A Mirai-based botnet named 'InfectedSlurs' is exploiting a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in QNAP VioStor NVR (Network Video Recorder) devices to hijack and make them part of its DDoS (distributed denial of service) swarm. The botnet was discovered by Akamai's Security Intelligence Response Team (SIRT) in October 2023, who observed the exploitation of two zero-day vulnerabilities in routers and NVR devices, likely starting in late 2022. At the time, and due to the vendors not having released patches, Akamai opted not to disclose any information about the flaws that InfectedSlurs was exploiting.

The first zero-day flaw exploited by InfectedSlurs is tracked as CVE-2023-49897 and impacts FXC AE1021 and AE1021PE WiFi routers. The ve...
