Research the Device
If you are adding a 3rd party device to your Vector Home Security System, be certain to purchase the device from a recognized company that takes security seriously. A good company will have password protection, one or two-step authentication and be committed to periodic over the air firmware and security updates.
Register the Device
Be sure to register your equipment, not only for warranty purposes but to ensure that you are receiving any firmware updates. It is important to stay current with the latest versions of the software. Often they address any known vulnerabilities.
Pay Attention to Passwords
Change default passwords, immediately. Passwords should be comprised of a variety of letters, cases, numbers, and symbols that would be difficult to guess.
Use unique passwords for every device. If your password for one item is jeopardized, you are not permitting access to all your sensitive accounts.
Create a Secure Wi-Fi Network
It is also recommended in some Vector reviews, that you take steps to protect your entire home network. Make sure that you have changed the name of the network and default password. Pick a network name that doesn’t give away your location or individual details.
With some routers, you can set up a Wi-Fi network specifically for your smart home devices. This will allow you to segregate your “smart home” network and make it harder for hackers from accessing the network where you do your banking and store your sensitive information.
It is also a good idea to set up a Guest network for visitors’ smartphones and computers, where they can’t see or access your IoT devices.
Consider Professional Installation
IFor some people this might sound complicated. (It’s really not) If this sounds like you, you may want to opt for a company that offers professional installation with built-in smart home integration. Technicians should be well versed in optimizing the security of your network and be able to help you incorporate some more advanced security measures.
Reset to Factory Default Settings
Before you dispose of, sell or give away any smart devices, make sure that you follow the manufacturer’s instructions to remove all of your data.
