A recent study by Protection1 security company revealed that there are over 6.000 open access security cameras, without code, all over the US.
According to the company's findings, most of these cameras are in public places, but there are cameras at the headquarters of private companies, even in the homes of many Americans.
Protection1 notes that the highest concentration of unprotected cameras is around major urban centers such as region of San Francisco Bay, the Los Angeles area, Seattle, Chicago, the Florida cities, and all along the Atlantic coast, from Washington to Boston.
Beyond the cameras they offer for free open access steaming with viewing in public spaces, there are also cameras that have been installed in houses and publicly broadcast what is happening inside the house. These cameras are extremely dangerous for the safety of the residents of these houses as a camera without a code accesss is a keyhole for thieves.
The funny thing is, the owners of these homes and businesses have installed the cameras as a system monitoringς, προκειμένου να αποτρέψει τους κλέφτες από μία ληστεία. Όμως οι ίδιες κάμερες προσφέρουν στους κλέφτες το τέλειο σύστημα παρακολούθησης των χώρων και συλλογής πληροφοριών για το πότε και πόσα άτομα βρίσκονται εντός της οικίας, αν υπάρχει σκύλος, που είναι κάμερες, ποια τα "νεκρά" σημεία αυτών, κλπ κλπ.
And if you laugh at the Americans believing they are easy and naive, let us remind you that there are also several cameras in Greece without a code or their worksite code. See the relevant article I'm here.
