The would make an oxymoron

Zero Hedge: A Chinese security camera maker said its products were used to launch a cyber-attack that severed internet access for millions of users, highlighting the threat posed by the global proliferation of connected devices.
When your security cameras are writeable on the Internet, you are not a security company, you are an insecurity company.  Here, an idea, I might patent it.  When you have to download new code to your security camera, blink the red light on the thing.  The own will see the red light, stand in front of the camera for a second, and the software can do a photo ID.  It is a security device, the buyer of the device is more than happy to take the extra step for security, it is an obvious feature, not a bug.
