Security News > 2021 > May > “Those aren’t my kids!” – Eufy camera owners report video mixups
Users of video cameras from home gadget maker Eufy are reporting that their video feeds seem to have been getting mixed up.
Apparently, it's not so much that anyone could sneakily login as user X and snoop on X's video feed remotely.
This isn't the first time we've heard of a SNAFU like this, where virtual wires got crossed inside a video surveillance company's own back end, causing customers not only to lose track of their own video cameras but also to gain access to someone else's.
In one case, three years ago, a user of a cloud video service offered by a UK company called Swann received a video notification that showed surveillance footage from the kitchen.
We haven't seen any reports from Eufy users who have actually managed to recognise anyone in the video feeds that they claim to have seen by mistake.
If you end up connected to someone else's video feed by mistake, do the right thing and get out early.
