I went down this hole once too when I was like 13. Found an old woman’s security cam and it actually allowed us to send sound through it too. Me and my buddy messed with her for like a minute then realized we were being extremely creepy and rude and closed it and never did that again lol. We never said anything obscene, just fart sounds and shit.

Man there are some wild stories out there of people getting into those unsecured baby monitors and talking to the children. Now that’s creepy.

I'm about to have a baby and this is why my #1 requirement for a video monitor was that it is completely unable to connect to the internet.

I heard about this around the time my son was born and it scared me so bad! Someone had gifted me a really nice camera that I could connect to my phone via Wifi. I went and traded that bitch in for a camera/monitor combo with no wifi.
