Title: Uncovering a Hidden IP Spy Camera on My Network
Recently, I stumbled upon a surprising discovery: an IP camera connected to my home network. While reviewing the devices linked to my router, I noticed an unfamiliar entry. After doing some research, I found the IPv4 address and MAC address associated with this suspicious device. To my dismay, I learned that it originates from a Shenzhen-based manufacturer after visiting iSpyConnect, which provides information on various surveillance cameras. Unfortunately, I was unable to access the camera feed as desired.
This unsettling find led me to wonder if my landlord might be monitoring my activities without my consent.
I’m reaching out to the community for assistance and insights on how to access the camera feed or, preferably, how to handle this situation effectively.
Update: Progress and Next Steps
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who took the time to offer advice and support. Apologies for the delay in updating the situation; I’ve been quite busy over the past few days. After exploring various methods, such as using Angry IP Scanner, VLC, and a few other tools, I faced continuous hurdles in accessing the camera stream. After three frustrating days, I decided to cut the camera off from my network entirely.
Looking ahead, I plan to reintroduce the camera to the network and will inspect different areas of my home one by one to locate its exact position. To aid in my search, I intend to use a smartphone camera with infrared capabilities, which may help to spot any hidden devices.
Stay tuned for further updates, and thank you once again for the helpful suggestions!
