Disconnect home cameras when they’re not being used

A skilled cybercriminal is capable of remotely turning on cameras to spy on you. If you’re not using a camera, whether it’s part of an in-home security system or webcam, it’s best to disconnect it entirely.This is particularly important if you have an in-home security system. Make sure to turn off the power to the camera system and remove the cables from the outlets when not in use. If you have a WiFi camera system, it’s important to make sure the signal is strong enough so that it can’t be easily hacked. Lastly, it’s important to keep the camera’s software up to date to protect your system from any potential hackers.
