Hacking a Smart CCTV Camera

Swann Security has blamed a factory error for the data

breach - which was brought to its attention by the BBC -

and said it was a "one-off" incident.

However, last month another customer reported a similar

problem saying his version of the same app had received

footage from a pub's CCTV system.

She said that "human error" had caused two cameras to

be manufactured that shared the same "bank-grade

security key - which secures all communications with its

owner".

"This occurred after the [family] connected the duplicate

camera to their network and ignored the warning prompt

that notified: 'Camera is already paired to an account'

and left the camera running," she added.

Swann's spokeswoman said that this matter was still under

investigation, but that it suspected both parties had

registered their products with the same username and

password.
