Wi-Fi security cameras are a game-changer. You can check on your home, office, or shop with just a tap on your phone. But here’s the catch—if your cameras aren’t secured, someone else could be watching too. Creepy, right?

The good news is, keeping hackers out isn’t rocket science. It’s just about being a little smarter with your tech. Here’s what really works:
1. Change the default password (seriously, do it!)
Most cameras come with a simple “admin” or “1234” password. Hackers know this. Change it to something unique, strong, and hard to guess.
2. Update your camera’s software regularly.
Manufacturers release updates to fix bugs and security holes. Don’t ignore those notifications—install them.
3. Secure your Wi-Fi network.
A weak Wi-Fi password is like leaving your front door wide open. Use strong passwords and enable WPA3 encryption if your router supports it.
4. Turn off remote access if you don’t need it.
If you don’t check your camera feed when you’re away, disable remote viewing. One less way for hackers to sneak in.
5. Invest in a trusted brand.
Bargain-bin cameras might save money upfront but often skip on security features. Brands like Pentagon Technologies focus on reliability, privacy, and smart security solutions so you can feel safe.

At Pentagon Technologies, we’ve seen countless cases where businesses and homeowners risked their privacy with unsecured cameras. A small step like changing a password or using a trusted security provider can save you from a massive headache.

Because security isn’t just about cameras; it’s about peace of mind.
