This weeks topic is username and password security.

It is important to change the username to something other than ‘admin’ and use a strong password comprised of uppercase, lowercase, numbers and special characters.  I recommend something with 50+ as this will keep your cameras, switches, routers, and video management software secure. 

Following the above advice will keep the hackers unable to access your devices.  Just like this site where they seem to think they are good successful hackers.  They aren’t and can’t even break the most simple of passwords.  That would probably be due to the fact they haven’t used the correct username yet.  Such a simple thing to do yet they are unable to figure it out.

Stay tuned for next weeks topic.
