Small businesses and residential users frequently deploy IP cameras on the exact same local network subnet as their primary workstations, instead of isolating them within a secure Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN).
Securing IP surveillance systems requires a defense-in-depth approach to ensure that internal management portals are never indexed by public search engines: Switching from port 80 to a non-standard port (e
