A recent study by company Security Protection1 revealed that there are over 6.000 open access security cameras, not even code, across the US territory.
According to the company's findings, most of these cameras are located in public places, but the list also includes cameras at the headquarters of private businesses, even in homea of many Americans.
Protection1 notes that the highest concentration of unprotected cameras is around large urban centers such as the San Francisco Bay area, the Los Angeles area, Seattle, Chicago, the cities of Florida, and across the Atlantic coast, from Washington to Boston.
Beyond the cameras they offer for free open access steaming with view to the public places, there are cameras that have been installed in homes and publicly relay the activities inside the house. These cameras are extremely dangerous for the safety of the occupants of these homes as a non-password camera is a keyhole for the thieves.
The funny thing is, the owners of these homes and businesses have installed the cameras as a system monitoring to prevent thieves from committing a robbery. But the same cameras offer the thieves the perfect system for monitoring the premises and gathering information about when and how many people are inside the house, if there is a dog, where the cameras are, what are their "dead" spots, etc. etc.
And if you laugh at Americans thinking that they are gullible and naive, let us remind you that in Greece there are several cameras without a code or with their site code. See his related article I'm here.
