Abstract
Consumers have overwhelmingly adopted the use of Internet of Things (IoT) inside their homes, these devices are connected to the internet sending and receiving data 24/7, a security breach or privacy exposure from one of these devices could lead to more nightmares than horror movies. These have lead us to review the current capabilities of Cloud-Based IP Cameras, its existing security and privacy issues affecting these devices. We present an analysis of the main privacy and security concerns currently affecting thousands of consumers IP Cameras globally, the uncertainty of not knowing what happens to your data when is stored in the Cloud and propose set of recommendations to help protect consumer's IoT devices in the intimacy of their home. Stop those nightmares before they happen because there is no peace of mind knowing an unknown person may be watching your children baby monitor and tracking all your movement inside your home. Although there are still challenges to address, is better to be an educated consumer who knows and understand the risk of these devices and take measures to prevent unwanted exposure.
