in the past i have always gone with a non network camera/baby monitor for all the obvious reasons. but they are expensive and my son broke it. so now i am tempted to get a cheaper network camera. all my network security experience involves very expensive appliances and hardware in a medium to large size business setting. i have no idea how secure/insecure my home network is.
so, other than the obvious stuff like changing default settings, using good passwords, keeping everything up to date, maybe turning off wifi broadcast, not allowing management of router from public IP, what else should i be looking for and testing? is the camera the weak link? should i create a separate wireless network for the camera and keep internet traffic from being allowed to and from it? or do mac address filtering?
i have always tried to keep my home setup simple because i deal with this crap at work all day and just want my home stuff to work and be super simple.
