We were watching one of our favorite non-IT podcasts, and it unexpectedly highlighted a major issue: malicious actors accessing camera feeds due to weak security, like default passwords and unprotected bodycams. Need advice on securing your devices? We can help?

As AI tools start becoming more commonplace. Please be careful about the personal data you feed it as many of these new models will collect your data for re-use. Sanitize your inputs for sensitive data and swap it out when you get a result you like.

You can ask us tech questions directly via allpurposegeek.com now

devs should implement this feature for this website

It required a firmware update due to an SSL handshake issue. Something we suspected when it initially did not connect. Vonage support insisted that if the device needed a firmware update, Vonage would auto-apply it. Can't do that if it cant provision. 2/2

Sorry for the late update. We were able to successfully configure two additional IP cameras (Riolink Duo 4k) in their Synology NVR. The SIP/VOIP intercom system would not initially connect and required a firmware update, in spite of Vonage's assertion that it did not. 1/2

Yes southern states, we can and will help you get a VPN set up so you can watch "Netflix".

We wrote an "Open Letter" to Microsoft regarding the use of Microsoft 365 Family / Personal in a business. Yes the article is on X but its only because of limitations of this platform ->
