with the advent of home surveillance cameras at low prices, combined with a lack of understanding of information hygiene, millions of people are unwittingly turn their homes Big Brother house.
There are a lot of good quality net consumer cameras (netcams) available now. They allow easy installation to record any unsolicited intrusion into your home, to deter thieves and the like. Most, if not all of them are sold with the promise hassle-free setup: "When the camera detects motion, the images of your home is automatically sent to an application on your phone so you can .. . [random marketing words of warm fuzzy feeling]. "
This, exactly at this point is where the alarm should go off in the heads of everyone. red flares. Klaxons. level air raid warnings.
Therefore, the images of the camera you just bought are to leave your home network.
So the camera is not under your control as planned.
therefore provide a live video stream somewhere , and that somehow gets to send you pictures of your own home at your phone. This means that everything that happens in your home can be seen by anyone else, and that these images have already left your control, you absolutely have no idea who else is allowed to see a live stream directly into your home. You just turned your house into a home "Big Brother"
. "Remote Viewing: View on iPhone, iPad or Android app or with mydlink mydlink.com"
most people are completely unaware of the concept of health information - aware of which information moves where, and therefore can see, access, store and share this information. Some have approached me to say how convenient it is that they can see live video stream from home or from a room in their house, directly into an application on their phone.
Who else can watch the feeding of this surveillance camera in your home? , I ask them.
in general, they do not understand the question.
It is not the camera that provides the feed to your phone. The camera is not capable of that, unless you have programmed your phone number, you do not have it. It is a company that is accessing your camera and send the images from your camera to your phone. That this company can also watch the video feed from your camera? , I ask.
At this point, you can usually see people's faces go blank because they are faced with something they did not see. Some are beginning to pale a little -. You can see the rewind mentally and replaying everything that happened to that camera
And as a follow-up question, which is the company giving permission to look at your home to their tower? It might not be consensual. For example, is it possible that the government requires the company to provide them with food?
At this point, people usually shake their heads. No, the government would never do that. No, and a thousand knobs.
Are you sure? Do you even know where the government now running?
Somewhere around this point, the magnitude of the problem begins to manifest in the discussion.
There are not as cameras. The Indiegogo "Goji Smart Lock" project has a similar gotcha. It is supposed to be a lock for your home that opens by smartphone and you can make, custom keys of limited duration, the works. Everything looks good and really innovative with this lock house, until you read this line:
"With Goji, you will never be locked out of your home We have representatives. customer service available 24/7 to help you lock or unlock your home remotely in case something happens to your phone ... "
... how everyone in aware of the health information realizes that this "lock" is under the control of manufacturer and not yours , which by definition makes it not a lock at all. the worst this is that it is supposed to be a feature you're not alone in ultimate control of access to your own home, just as it is supposed to be a feature of the company selling cameras for your home are also able to watch them for you.
Privacy remains your own responsibility.
