I'm OK with opening a port for FTP or a webcam but I try my best to make sure it's a secure connection. Strong passwords, HTTPS if possible, using a brand that's not off the Walmart discount shelf and MAC filtering if possible.
I still won't put a webcam inside my house though. So that says something... I just like the ability to control my security and know what's happening vs blindly trusting some brand's server. There was a recent webcam breach where the company inadvertently allowed access to ALL users video somehow. Things like that are what keeps me tinkering on my own like this. Leaving it up to someone else at some unknown "server" doesn't make me comfortable. So, yeah, it goes beyond people simply not changing the default password. Anyway, I'm just taking this as an opportunity to learn more. ​ ​ T​im​ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
