If you haven't yet seen this episode of Dark Net on Showtime that aired on 5/11/2107, I would suggest you check it out. The topic is surveillance and exploiting cameras by hackers. The main topic is a neighborhood in Memphis that has a local network of community owned and maintained surveillance cameras. While I applaud the effort, I think that some help from professionals, like many here, could have helped them choose some better products and given them some tips on installation best practices.
