As concerns about just how secure home security cameras are continue to grow, recent events have underscored the risks of using connected devices with less secure infrastructure. With rising concerns about just how private home security cameras are, the safety of these devices has become a widely debated topic.
Safeguarding privacy isn’t just a feature — it’s a fundamental priority for smart encrypted security cameras. For example, Guardian Protection’s video surveillance systems are powered by Alarm.com and are designed with multi-layered safeguards to keep hackers out and you in control.
See the defenses that you should look for in your home camera system:
1. Secure VPN Connection
Unlike “open” internet connections, which are used by some video providers, using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is ideal for creating a closed, secure pathway between your cameras and the cloud. This significantly limits the exposure of your video feed to external threats and makes unauthorized access far more difficult.
2. Firmware-Embedded Security
Cameras should come with built-in firmware, meaning the security intelligence lives inside the device itself, not just on your home network. Even if a hacker gains access to your WiFi router, the camera remains protected. Without your explicit permission or login credentials, video footage cannot be accessed.
3. Military-Grade Encryption
Encryption is key for a safe security camera system. For example, at Guardian, all video footage is protected with 256-bit encryption, which is double the government standard. This means every clip, whether live-streamed or saved, is encoded with a virtually unbreakable level of security.
4. No Third-Party Cloud Storage
Relying on third-party cloud storage providers can also be risky. For Guardian, all video clips are stored using our own proprietary cloud system and monitored through National Operations Centers (NOCs), which further reduces the risk of a breach through external systems.
