Think You’re Protected By Your Wireless Surveillance Camera?
Think Again!
Wireless Camera Images Can Be Picked Up By Anyone
A recent study shows that a simple $100 device can tap into your surveillance camera's signal and let criminals see exactly what's going on in your home, office, bar, or restaurant.
The VR3 is a wireless camera designed as a backup camera to help you see behind your car. What many people are discovering is that this camera, and many others like it, can tap into all sorts of unsecured wireless video signals – anything from business surveillance cameras in bars or restaurants to residential nanny cameras. Todd Morris, CEO of BrickHouse Security describes this phenomenon as a case of “accidental compatibility,” where two completely unassociated security devices from two different companies can pickup the other’s feed unintentionally. And it happens more than you think.
Someone Could Be Watching You From INSIDE Your Home Or Business When You Use Wireless Cameras
When investigating this allegation, Fox 6 Milwaukee’s Investigative Reporter Bryan Polcyn tapped into video surveillance from a local bar, hair salon, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and even from a baby monitor all with the cheap and mobile VR3 camera. By buying wireless surveillance people think that they are increasing their safety, but in fact they are opening the door to peeping toms, burglars, and pedophiles alike.
It doesn’t take a sophisticated spy or expensive equipment to tap into these wireless cameras. Does this mean that you shouldn’t buy a surveillance camera? No, surveillance cameras can be an excellent way to protect your home or business. They can help the police catch criminals and verify evidence, but they can also be dangerous.
