Dubai Municipality has urged residents to strengthen the security of their surveillance cameras, warning that even one weak security setting could compromise privacy in today’s increasingly connected world.

The authority stressed that following a few simple measures can improve camera security and protect the privacy of users and those around them.

Dubai Municipality also released a video outlining practical steps to enhance surveillance camera security and reduce the risk of unauthorised access or hacking.

In today’s connected world, even a single weak security setting can be enough to compromise privacy, and users have been urged to take greater control of their devices’ security.

Dubai Municipality also advised users to avoid opening unverified links and never share login details, including usernames and passwords, with others.

The guidance highlights the importance of individual awareness and basic cybersecurity practices in protecting surveillance systems and personal privacy.
