Use Physical Blocks for Indoor Cameras
Digital security can fail. Use physical webcam covers on laptops and indoor cameras to ensure that even a hacked device cannot record your private space.
Step 2

Protect your smart home hub with hardware 2FA. If your hub is compromised, your entire home is at risk. Use a physical key for the ultimate gatekeeper.
