Network cameras and video management systems are among the most widely deployed — and least secured — connected devices. Attackers rarely want the footage: they want network footholds, botnet capacity, and surveillance turned against its owners.
Cameras run for years on original firmware
Embedded operating systems, infrequent updates, short support lifecycles — most cameras run 5–10 years unpatched.
Shodan indexes exposed cameras globally
Hundreds of thousands of cameras are internet-accessible — including cameras whose owners have no idea they are exposed.
Operators must balance access and exposure
MSSPs and control rooms need remote access to VMS and cameras — while ensuring nobody else on the network or internet can reach them.
Device-level protection — without disrupting operations
Make cameras and VMS invisible
Shodan cannot index them, automated scanners cannot find them. They do not respond to any probe until a valid Key with a matching policy presents itself.
Secure remote monitoring without VPN
Operators reach live and recorded footage from any location — scoped to exactly the cameras and VMS their policy permits, during permitted hours.
Technical customer boundaries for MSSPs
An operator credentialed for one customer cannot reach another customer’s systems. Boundaries are enforced by policy, not by discipline.
Installer and maintenance access
Time-limited, camera-specific access for external technicians — without access to the network the cameras sit on. Expires automatically.
Eliminate camera exposure
No port forwarding, no exposed management interfaces, no Shodan indexing. Cameras that cannot be found cannot be compromised.
Reduce patching pressure
Hidden cameras have no exposed surface for CVEs — firmware urgency drops and equipment lifespan extends.
Audit every access event
Every connection to every camera and VMS logged with identity, timestamp and duration — for incidents, compliance and customer reporting.
Full session logging supports incident investigation and regulatory reporting. Camera infrastructure is removed from the attack surface without touching cameras, VMS software or the network.
