Traditional security systems relied on local closed-circuit television (CCTV) networks. These systems recorded video directly to physical tapes or hard drives kept inside the home. Today’s smart security cameras rely on internet connectivity, cloud storage, and artificial intelligence.

Put smart home devices and security cameras on a separate guest Wi-Fi network to isolate them from main computers and phones. 3. Use Privacy Zones and Masking

To eliminate cloud-based vulnerabilities, consider security systems that utilize local storage. Cameras that record to an on-site Network Video Recorder (NVR), a central hub, or encrypted microSD cards keep video data within the walls of the home. Systems using local storage remain operational even during internet outages and keep personal footage away from corporate servers. 2. Implement Robust Cyber Hygiene
