You clearly sound technically savvy but these sorts of mass market products are sold to non-techies that don't understand how to secure them properly. Perhaps these products need to be sold with a safety warning: "This product exposes the monitored area to hacking from the interest - we try to find all the bugs and block the holes be we cannot be 100% confident that we've been successful". Yes very tounge-in-cheek I know - but track record for IT security product isn't high!

I've been using IP cameras at home and business now for nearly two years and have seen they have improved a hell of a lot since their early incarnations. I have had a very particular use for IP cameras especially at home and can tell you they've proved their worth - more so than even I had imagined. That said, of course I know there are always risks of being hacked into etc. but you get that risk with anything hooked up to the Net. For my mind I would rather have the cameras than not - after all if someone is going to be sad enough to really spend their time and effort hacking into my camera just to get a peep into my home go ahead I say. But it would be far easier to just peer through the window :) Pete - Peter Smith Sat, 09 Jan 2010 13:18:19 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/EyeSpy-247-Launches-Two-New-Plug-n-Play-Internet-Security-Cameras.html#comment-766 These types of products really concern me. There are already exploits and hacks to get in some IP cameras from the net. I've not looked at this product specifically but there are numerous hacks for other IP cameras out there in the wild. I for one don't fancy live streaming my home or business out to all an sundry! And as for security against crooks - how long before a wifi blocker becomes as essential as crowbar for the modern day crook. I'm all for security and video is great to have - but I think I'd like to see a little more about how these boxes are secured before using one to secure my business or family. - Simon Fri, 08 Jan 2010 18:55:38 +0100
