<Anchor> An
increasing number of families are installing CCTV in their homes to see if they have children or pets.
If you install this CCTV, also called an'IP camera,' you can see all over the house at any time, but you need to check at least once to see if anyone other than my family is watching.
Reporter Jo Yoon-ha reports.

Mr. A, who runs an online shopping mall.
In May, I installed an IP camera that allows real-time video viewing when connected to the Internet in my office. About a month later, I looked at the access log and identified an unfamiliar IP address.
He immediately reported to the police, and the investigation revealed that the driver who installed the IP camera stole the image of Mr. A with a mobile phone app.
The IP camera is linked to the mobile phone app, so you can see the CCTV screen in real time when you enter your ID and password.
Seojin Yoon, a self-employed person, also suffered an absurd situation when installing so-called'Pet Cam', which allows you to see dogs inside the house from outside.
I installed a camera in the house and tried to use the app, but the ID and password that I saw for the first time were set.
[Seojin Yoon/IP camera user: You can see my living room by accessing ID.
If you just want to.
It was scary.
I have to change the password first.
You can see the entire 360-degree view of the living room.]
Yoon says that at the time of installation, the mobile phone was left to the driver, and the driver set the ID and password without asking or asking for consent.
Experts recommend that to prevent IP cameras from being abused for crime, you should change your password periodically and check your access and usage history frequently.
