> if you’re running an ethernet cable to a wired IP camera outside your house, what’s to prevent an attacker from plugging in their own battery-powered raspberry pi or packet squirrel (dropbox) into the exposed etherent plug, and then getting on your network, able to see the feed from all of your cameras?
Ease of physical access, with the primary security mitigation being the camera height installation.
