Internet connected cameras can be hacked if security is weak.

Change default passwords, enable two factor authentication, update firmware, and buy from reputable brands. Avoid exposing cameras directly to the internet without protection.

Pin Tip

Review the list of users with access to your camera app.

Stay Within the Law

Use cameras to protect your own property, never to record places where people expect privacy such as bathrooms or bedrooms of others. Recording laws vary, and audio recording carries extra rules. When in doubt, speak with an attorney before installing or using any surveillance system.

Professional Help

For investigations, licensed professionals know how to gather evidence lawfully. Ohio Security & Investigations, a licensed Ohio agency, can be reached at (888) 341-6960 for confidential consultations.

Quick Reminder

Review who has access to your camera app and recordings at least a few times a year.
