Research on the Necessity and Measures for Protecting Local Storage Data of Homecam Devices

The local storage method for home cameras, which relies on inserting an SD card into the device to store data, offers a convenient and cost-effective solution, as there are no recurring expenses after purchasing the SD card. However, we recognize that this method comes with significant security challenges. In particular, the ease with which third parties can access the SD card makes it vulnerable to both physical and software tampering. As the acceptance rate of home camera footage as evidence in courts has increased, we have become increasingly aware of the critical nature of these security issues. Digital data from home cameras, unlike other types of physical evidence, can be more easily tampered with and altered. To ensure that such data is recognized as valid legal evidence, we must prove its integrity and demonstrate that it has not been tampered with. In response to these challenges, we are committed to strengthening the security measures for both the home camera device and its local storage. By doing so, we aim to ensure the integrity and reliability of the data, thereby enhancing the overall security and trustworthiness of home camera systems.
