Madgeburg, Germany based security firm AV TEST evaluated eight popular IP cameras broadly speaking, Wi Fi dependent security cameras that communicate with mobile apps whose manufacturers ranged from D Link to Logitech to Netgear. Only three cameras were vulnerability free, and even
they had room for improvement. Two of the cameras were nearly trivial to compromise, while a crafty cybercriminal could still compromise the middle three, given the right tools and expertise. MORE: Best Wireless Home Security CamerasTo evaluate each camera, AV TEST looked for potential flaws in the camera's local storage if available, external app controls, external camera controls, additional camera and app connections, encrypted connections, and storage of image and videos. The company did not give a numerical score, but instead pointed out whether each camera was category was "vulnerable," "secured" or "partially vulnerable" with regard to each category. Of the IP cameras tested, the Logitech Circle, the Myfox Security Camera and the Netgear Arlo fared the best. Each earned three out of a possible three stars from AV TEST. The company found "no noticeable vulnerabilities in the
communication of the camera and app" in each camera, meaning that they're about as secure as IP cameras can get. However, AV TEST noted "optimization potential" for each camera's companion mobile app, suggesting that the user interfaces are not as user friendly as they could be. This is not a trivial issue — the more obtuse a UI, the less likely a user is to take charge of his or her own security, which could lead to vulnerabilities down the road. The D Link DCS 2132L and the Gigaset Camera scored only one star out of three, with potential vulnerabilities in just about every category tested.
Blandit Etiam
The commercial sector dominated the
global market and is likely to grow at a CAGR of over 12% by 2024. The sector is the highest adopter of smoke detecting devices due to the stringent
compliance of fire safety norms laid down by regulatory bodies. The use of smoke detecting devices in industrial sectors such as oil and gas, manufacturing, plants, and powerhouses will further boost the growth of these devices in the industrial sector. The residential end user segment is likely to witness rapid and considerable growth in CAGRs during the forecast period due to the rise in home automation and the implementation of stringent fire safety regulations. The global smart smoke detector market by power sources is divided into hardwired, battery powered, and hardwired with battery. In terms of revenue, the hardwired segment is likely to dominate the global market during the forecast period. The implementation of stringent safety regulations is a primary driver for hardwired devices. Easy installation and long battery life are the factors attributed to the increased demand for battery powered detectors. However, the battery powered segment is likely to face strong competition from the hardwired and hardwired with battery detector segments. Hardwired battery detectors are slowly gaining popularity due to the extensive protection they offer.
