The Risk of Cyber-Attacks and Personal Data Privacy Concerns Are Likely to Restrain the Growth of the Market

IP cameras has a huge potential of capturing and transmitting large amount of personal data including audio recordings and video footage. This captured data can be used for unauthorized surveillance and various other malicious purposes. Now days, individuals are actively aware of potential data privacy risks associated with IP cameras. due to which consumers can be hesitant to adopt these camera devices specifically to use at their homes or any other sensitive areas. Moreover, IP cameras are connected to internet and computer networks, making them targets for cyber-attacks. In case, these cameras are not properly secured, they can easily be exploited by hackers in order to gain compromise data, gain unauthorized access to connected networks, and even launch larger scale attacks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. During the past few years, there had been instances where IP cameras were hijacked for misuse of data. For instance, in March 2021, a group of hackers had breached thousands of security cameras at Tesla warehouse, hospitals, and US jails. One of the hacked video disclosed by this group of hackers revealed surveillance footage shot at Tesla warehouse in Shanghai. The hackers gained access to live feeds of 150,000 surveillance cameras inside police departments, schools, hospitals, prisons, and companies like Tesla automakers.
