It’s easy to secure your CCTV Network

Lately our industry has been inundated with news and misleading information regarding network security, and the ‘FACT’ that IP cameras aren’t secure. Article after article has claimed that all of our surveillance systems are compromised with secret ‘back-doors.’

Do I deny that these ‘back-doors’ exist? Not necessarily. But any professional who has installed surveillance systems since the early 90’s can say, “I know how to secure those systems.”

IP For Everyone – A simple IP Technology Training

When I hear the acronym “IP,” it’s easy for my mind to drift to the famous computer nerds of Silicon Valley from the 70’s. It’s a technology that can seem intimidating, scary, complex… well… all of the above. Sure, there are pieces of the tech that make it complex, but we don’t have to be experts in IP to understand how to install and manage an IP based Surveillance System.

Listen on you own time.

Arm Yourself Episode 12 – Napco’s answer to Ring and SimpliSafe

SimpliSafe, Ring, and all of the DIY systems are severely lacking [to say the least] when it comes to REAL and complete solutions for security, automation, and surveillance. Sure, they integrate relatively seamlessly with the ever growing Amazon-supporting brands, but they fall short in so many ways. That said, the offering can actually do damage to an industry with over a century in history and development.
