Is an IP camera safe?

Yes, it is very safe, but only if you lock the digital door.

Imagine your house has a magical front door. If you leave the door wide open with a big sign that says "Welcome Everyone," anyone can walk right in. But if you shut the door tight and lock it with a special secret key that only your family knows, your house stays completely safe.

An IP camera is exactly like that. When you first buy it, it has a simple password like "1234." If parents forget to change that password, sneaky hackers can find it. But if you lock it with a big, strong, secret password and keep the camera's software updated, it becomes a safe, unhackable fortress.
