A.
The worst case would be broadcasting your home camera across Internet, so you
could view your home remotely. Hackers could eavesdrop your Internet or login
in order to view your home security or activity with your username and
password.
B.
Why should bank trust a security firm to monitor their branch offices by
monitoring its activity remotely over the Internet using video cameras? Hackers
could see all activity in a bank including users depositing or withdrawing
cash. This is unsecured.
What
should a bank do with their monitoring camera?
1.
Bank could use dynamic encryption of video streaming to an outside security
office, so security guards could view its internal activity. Only a few external
terminals were configured to receive video streaming.
2.
Bank could also use close circuit camera. The video server stays inside a bank.
They could offer the following:
-
A locked box connecting to the video server for video access. This locked box
is accessible on a bank wall, so police could open the box and view inside
activity in case of a robbery. Who could open the box and plug a laptop in as
it’s visible to all people around?
-
Video transferring and live streaming in case of an alert button pressed. The
video server would start live streaming of internal scenes over a preconfigured
Internet link to a security or police office. The server could also transfer
out video of older scenes such as periods of 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour
before alert button pressed. In a second round, it could also transfer video of
2 hours, 3 hours, or longer periods of time as previously configured after the
first round of transferring completed. This is to ensure that required videos
were available quickly to law enforcement in case of emergency in the first
round of videos transfer.
- The video server doesn’t accept any remote
login or actions from an external source, i.e. it would originate video
transfer or live video. This could be done easily by a simple packet analyzer.

by a robber.
