IP Cameras in Groom...

[ReeferSpin]

from a quick read, it integrates with alexa and google home.

if you use the kasa cloud integration, I would suspect thats where any security issues would be, might be better with google home.

i'll keep digging when i get chance

I wouldnt use any camera in the groom connected to the net mate - loads have linux vulnerabilities - I used to scan certain ports for connecting to them. Amazing how many offices etc you could see!

yeah we have had mad issues with talktalk so we left ages ago. ee is also slow - BT are the only ones that deliver constant speed but they are so expensive!

I did this and used a cheap tp link camera with no ir, also used the smart plug to do watering, ideally you need a way to tell they need water as although I didn’t kill my plants they were dryer than I water them to be, Iv done it for a week and a little over a few times, I drain to waste so just needed a big enough res and big enough drain bucket and it’s set

Then I realised I need a HUB too hahah

The one that I have needs a wireless router. So if you have wireless then you should be good.

I got a cheap dual lens camera which I connect to a remote socket so that it remains powered off unless I am actually using it. This limits both the IR contamination and the amount of up time the camera is available to be hacked.

I even tried hacking the camera myself and the root password 'rotates' every milli second so even when I know (brute forced) all the passwords it is impossible to logon manually as root.
