IoT poses growing cybersecurity risks
For consumers, pushing data about your home onto the cloud is not good especially most of the IoT & cloud for their data storage are not well protected. If use smart phone especially Android, risk of the phone being hacked is high.
So invest in SPLK and PANW 
LOL.
I have my security cameras on. In 3 months all the good features disappeared. I canāt receive anything on my phone when the incidents happen. Ebay had a 30 days return. LOL
The problem is:
1- Too slow to dig into the āalleged timeā where the incident happens.
2- Incidents happen to be low crime incidents to report. I wish to catch them in the act to get a beating. LOL
4 months ago, I was awaken by my 2 dogs. I opened the front door, and a guy was peeing on the corner of the garage of the next home but standing on my garden, by the seconds it took me to say āwhat?ā and open the front door, he was about 12 yards from me, he turned around and grabbed a small bike out of the bunch I was keeping for the metal collector guy. He climbed it and went away. As I go to bed half naked, by the minute I spent putting a shirt on and grabbing the car keys, and saying to the neighbor coming from work that I was pursuing a guy, for that stupid reason, the guy had disappeared among a bunch of Vietnamese kids having a party 8 homes away. The bike was abandoned right in front of that house.
Checking the video, I couldnāt identify the guy even if he was in front of me. Worthless piece of security camera. Good for the day, worthless overnight.
Oh, SOBs, they have stolen since Iāve been here, from my front lawn or right from a place for my garden tools I have under my kitchen window:
1 A pick axe
1 shovel
2- squeegees
1- Big broom.
Darn it! in the middle of the night!
Yes, security cameras/system is only as good as camera resolution to identify culprits. But, if placed appropriately could act as a deterrent to some āon the fenceā criminals. Thatās the thing, you donāt hear or experience anything with them, so must be workingā¦
Seems like a decent deal, no? Has anyone installed one yet?
Cameras work fine.
They came in the middle of the night, parked their truck in front of the driveway space, grabbed my neighbors hammock and got away. A hammock?
The guy across the street had a camera, we could barely see who they were but 3 guys and a truck. 
Yeah, we can pass on the security camerasā¦
Jil,
Canāt remember which brand/model you bought. Did you use local storage or subscribe to online? How long to keep video? 24 hours or 7 days?
