2-for-Tuesday: Stem Izon View Wi-Fi Video Monitors

  • Two WiFi-enabled video cameras that look enough like Apple stuff not to blow your cred
  • Unlike the last Izons we sold, these have night vision so they work after dark (sultry sax solo not included)
  • Watch and record from your phone, as if you need one more excuse to stare at your phone
  • When the sound and/or motion detectors detect sound and/or motion, they send you an alert and start recording video of the detected sound and/or motion
  • Model: WRM-WA3-00, WRM-BA3-00

Remember to secure your security camera.

It’s ironic that some people can be so vigilant about physical security, and so lax about basic network security, that their pursuit of one compromises the other.

Take this Stem Izon View security camera. It got built-in WiFi. It’s got night vision. You can watch it through an app on your phone. When it detects sound or motion, it sends you an alert and starts recording video. Point it at the baby or dog or garage or convenience-store cash register of your choice and it’ll do all the stuff a lot of fancier and more expensive cameras do. Don’t you feel secure now?

But a couple of years ago, a security firm found that some people left their Stem Izon cameras vulnerable to hacks, because they (a) didn’t use them with a router, (b) didn’t change their default WiFi password, © didn’t change their default router admin password, or (d) didn’t change their default Izon camera password.

That’s right: a security camera, improperly deployed, makes you less secure.

Just do those four simple things, and you’ve won 99% of the battle of keeping your camera secure. If you’re a hacker or a security expert, you already know nothing is ever completely free of any risk of hacking. But you don’t have to outrun the bear, the saying goes; you just have to outrun the easiest pickings among your fellow prey. Very few bad guys will bother trying to vault your common-sense security measures when there are so many softer targets out there.

If those basic network security measures sound like too much hassle, don’t get a WiFi security camera. You’ll be more secure without it. Ironically.
