Do not allow the camera to communicate with your main corporate or home network. Create a separate IoT VLAN with no internet access (or outbound access only to an NVR).
*Note:* Some cameras use different variations like `/view/index.shtml?action=view` or `/cgi-bin/viewer.shtml`.
These URLs point directly to the camera’s internal web server, allowing anyone with the link to see the live feed, and sometimes control panning, tilting, or zooming (PTZ) functionalities. Understanding the Risks: Unsecured Surveillance Cameras
