I have an old ass webcam that only connects by a USB, and I haven’t connected to my computer in an eternity. The only other camera is on my phone, and I make sure it is never pointing at anything I don’t want people to see if it was hacked.

This shit is fucking scary.

      Yeah having closed captions on really helps when most of the time these things don’t have a really good microphone… the increase in Ai really has helped bring closed captions to CCTV and its one thing it really has improved…

    This is why you don’t use IoT cameras or leave ports forwarded to IP cameras. Leave it off the internet or use a VPN.

    That would explain the surge of Asian security cam videos on porn sites. Yikes! It did seem like a lot for it to be some kind of money making only fans thing or whatever.
