Wi-Fi CCTV Fails Security Penetration Tests

With wireless IP addressable CCTV cameras becoming ever more popular, the BBC has uncovered a major flaw in the security of some wi-fi camera units. A regional BBC news team found that with a cheap gadget, available on the High St, they were able to tune into and intercept images inside pubs, supermarkets, positions above tills, and even private homes. The report comes amongst increasing public concern about the health risks of radiation and wi-fi transmission sources.
