Hikvision cctv security risk

[colnerov]

You can if it's been spade.

Yeah, that'll fork it.

 

[Cobbler]

Yeah, that'll fork it.

Hoe hoe hoe, very good

 

[Wozzaaah]

These are really being raked up from the depths.

These are really being raked up from the depths.

They are digging them up, trowling every furlllough

Last year we had a call out to a 16 Channel IP 2TB CCTV hickVision site.

Owner was convienced it was being hacked, he too had see FB "Must be True as it is on face book" scare story.

We changed the pass words. The last company had left them on Default.
Went back 4 weeks later and reviewed all activations.

It was very easy to see what was going on. A emplyie was "liberating" high vale items, altering the details on the system.
Using a defualt pass word they would rewind and delete the CCTV footage.
There was a lot more to it than that.

The site was set on default, so very images every few minutes. So nit much to delete. Factory fresh defaults pass words. Intruder alrm not being set.

So, a "Hack from over sea's was in fact a very naughty boy.

As long as they have hacked dads iphone and let him know when a cow is calving, Im fine with them!

I did see a gadget that was supposed to do that. Tilt sensor on the tail or something

yeah i have heard of those, can be quite expensive,
he has one that is collar on the bulls, and a tag in the ear of the cow,
tells him when there is action and then gives a warning when that cow should be close to calving,
works very well

 

[Dev]

Collar on the bull’s what exactly? Never mind I don’t think I want to know.

May have already been suggested, but if you have a decent router then you can block the cameras access to the internet. There may even be open source firmware to reflash the cameras.

This problem isn't unique to CCTV cameras, as the whole IoT (Internet of things) takes over our world, where pretty much every device in your home is smart and connects to the internet. Your doorbell so that you can answer remotely, your lawn sprinklers so that they can work around the weather, your coffee machine so that it can make your drink accordng to your calendar schedule. All of these devices will snoop one way or another.

once it leaves uk shores as our data laws dont exist anywhere else

That's not entirely true. Any company processing EU data falls under GDPR. While the EU courts can't physically enforce fines on offshore companies the judgement would be publicly recorded and affects the offending company's ability to trade. Even medium sized companies would be affected by this as their history and even the history of any previous companies managed by the directors would be checked when they engage in any contracts with bigger vendors or customers.

ha ha !! i should have specified ! its a collar round the.... neck!

And we were all doing so well too…..



Once upon a time, not a million years ago, a distillery not a million miles away, decided to brighten up their website by having live webcam coverage.

Then one morning, they received an email informing them that a webcam had gone down.

From the FBI.

Wasn’t that nice of them.

Hi all,

I’ve just been watching the channel 4 news and hikvision cctv is state own by the Chinese government. They are technology to spy on you!

The USA have already banned use of hikvision cctv and facial recognition technology and there are calls for company to be banned here in the uk to.

Much like huawei 5g network being banned in every democratic land.

Scary stuff.

At least you can trust the glorious CCCP , with there awesome governance and all that good stuff they bring.

(That should get me some browny points with the China over lords)

On a slightly serious note, I think Ring is the same (just not china).

Amazon’s Ring is the largest civilian surveillance network the US has ever seen | Lauren Bridges

One in 10 US police departments can now access videos from millions of privately owned home security cameras without a warrant

Typical Guardian nonsense. Why is a UK news site worried about the USA.
What that doesn’t mention is if the customers who own the Ring cameras have to give their consent to those requests, which would change things significantly and makes it no different than the usual CCTV trawl plod here do When there’s been a crime nearby.

They did mention it.

They also mentioned once given their isn't a mechanism to remove consent.

Shan't be getting rid of my ring lights.

Government knows my vans registration. And they are welcome to hear me telling the arseholes next door to f#£k off when they moan about me using a saw for 5 minuites.

It's weird that with the sound as I was under the impression that CCTV with audio recording wasn't allowed in the UK, Big Biz vs government laws ay

Yes you can.
Simply you need an activation on the alarm system.
