Title: Has my camera been hacked?
Post by: saffronparker on March 11, 2021, 02:36:47 PM

Hi all.  I'm using a D Link 8525LH camera for inside the home.  I've had it for just under two years and in the past week, I keep getting notifications on the app on my phone that the device has been removed.  Not sure why as I haven't pressed the reset button on the camera for this to happen.  It happens about twice a day at the moment. Is this a sign that it's been/is being hacked?
Thank you.

• What Hardware version is your DCS? Look at the sticker behind or under the camera.
• Link>What Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) version is currently loaded? Found on the DCSs web page under status.
• What region are you located?

What Mfr and model is the main host router?

Has the camera been factory reset and setup from scratch?

Sounds more like a WiFi problem.

Maybe reboot your router when you get a chance.
