Explanation
Harden the camera configuration by changing default usernames and passwords, disabling unnecessary open ports, and ensuring that secure protocols (such as HTTPS, SSH, or others) are used instead of insecure ones (like HTTP or Telnet). This is a critical step in securing IoT devices and protecting them from being exploited. Since the camera is part of the IoT subnet and has been identified with vulnerabilities such as default credentials and open ports, hardening the configuration is the most direct and effective solution to secure its operation.
