Re: Simple fix.
IoT devices should never be on your main WiFi network. They should only be on a guest WiFi or on a WiFi network that is separate from your main WiFi using its own NAT router. Likewise, none of your guests should be using your main Wifi network.
Since you’re correctly concerned about security, I’ll assume you’ve got a newer, more secure Wifi/Access-Point/Router, which should be able to provide a guest network.
Dear Sir...
I noticed that your wife and daughter are HOT HOT HOT… get your AC fixed bro!
Another worthless product in search of a market.
Another cloud camera. HELL NO.
If we are going to have cameras in our house, they will be contained to our LAN and we’ll use VPN, or at the very least private secure HTTP server, to access the video. Anything else is a non-starter.
