Also, Eufy is owned by Anker. They claimed they weren't transmitting images until hackers proved they could access your "smart" cameras...

The problem is, in order to view the cameras in their app, the video has to relay through their cloud servers, and they had little to no security. Since then they have added encryption which hopefully helps.

Best practice is to avoid placing any cameras, especially big box store cloud cameras, anywhere sensitive. The two cameras I have online right now are outside where hackers won't see anything my neighbors can't see.
