Context piece
- Security cameras can create privacy and cybersecurity risks when users choose poorly designed or poorly documented devices.
- Consumers should be especially cautious with unfamiliar, very cheap manufacturers whose data handling, software support and accountability are unclear.
A security camera should protect a home or business, but the wrong device can bring privacy and cybersecurity risks directly into the user’s network.
Particular caution is needed with unfamiliar and very cheap camera brands. It may be unclear who develops the device, where its data goes, how long software updates will be available and who takes responsibility when problems arise.
