Protecting the Privacy of your Cameras

The Risk of Weak Passwords and the Cloud

The two biggest risks for your cameras are weak passwords and cloud dependency. Using 'admin' or '12345' is leaving the door open. Furthermore, if your camera's cloud service suffers an attack, your images can be exposed along with those of thousands of users. Security begins with taking control.

Your Best Defense: Local Recording and Control (NVR)

The most effective way to protect your privacy is to record your cameras on a local system (NVR), not in the cloud. This keeps your videos inside your home, under your sole control, and minimizes internet exposure. With no monthly fees and the certainty that only you have access, it is the safest option.

Isolate Your Cameras on a Secure Network

An additional and fundamental layer of security is segmentation. At Tibana, we configure your cameras on an isolated virtual network (VLAN), separate from your computers and personal data. Thus, if an attacker managed to access a camera, they would be trapped in that 'cage', unable to reach your valuable information. It's security by design.
