I have an old ass webcam that only connects by a USB, and I haven’t connected to my computer in an eternity. The only other camera is on my phone, and I make sure it is never pointing at anything I don’t want people to see if it was hacked.

This shit is fucking scary.

    Why in the world anyone would put camera in bedroom or any other part of the house/apartment where sexy things could happen?

      I don’t even understand why you would have them anywhere inside. I have a few outside to warn of movement and stuff outdoors and trigger alarms at certain times but I would never put them inside my house. Already having them outside triggers by paranoia about being watched.

      some people are paranoid and rig up cameras in every part of their house under the guise it will keep them secure from criminals.

          people’s fears are often irrational and disproportional to actual dangers. people typically are paranoid about things that have very low probabilities of happening, and don’t even think about dangers that are common.

      My Webcam is in my bedroom but that’s because that is where my computer is. However it is unplugged as I said. It’s also an old as fuck one I got more than 10 years ago so hackers can’t do fuck with it if it is unplugged.
