How is the firmware updated on hikvision cams? If the cameras themselves are denied outbound access, would that stop a threat if it was there? Only the monitoring software is accessible throught vpn etc? I've wondered about all cams not just hikvision because they're all made over there. Sorry...
It just strikes me that if a large company like hikvision was selling compromised devices, it would only be a matter of time before it was discovered and their market share would drastically plummet. No one would ever trust them again. Can't see them risking it.
Sorry if this has been posted already.
Wouldn't suspicious data leaving a networked camera be easy to detect?
