Arlo, Blink and Nest among 6 security cameras tested for their own security – IoT testing – PC-Magazin & AV-Comparatives

The 330 Euro Nest Cam IQ from Google is not cheap, but only reached a “Satisfactory” standard, and took the last-but-one place in PC Magazin’s ratings.

German computer periodical PC Magazin has published results of a security test of networked CCTV cameras for consumers. The test was carried out by the Innsbruck test lab AV-Comparatives. Such cameras could be misused to see into the owner’s private life, and so were scrutinised for their own security standards.

“Some IP Security Cameras lack their own security. Even one of the most expensive, the 330 Euro Nest Cam IQ from Google, took the last-but-one place in PC Magazin’s ratings.” Peter Stelzhammer, co-founder, AV-Comparatives

The following IP cameras were put to test: Anker Eufycam 2C, Arlo Pro 3, Blink XT2, Nest Cam IQ, Ring Stick Up Cam and Yi Technology Kami Dome Camera X. The test showed that the more expensive models tend to be ahead here. Even then, high prices are no guarantee of security; the 330 Euro Nest Cam IQ from Google is not cheap, but only reached a “Satisfactory” standard, and took the last-but-one place in PC Magazin’s ratings. The test results show that however good a camera’s features, picture and sound quality may be, users should pay particular attention to the security provided by this type of device.

Arlo, Blink, Nest & Co.: 6 Überwachungskameras im Sicherheits-Test von PC-Magazin und AV-Comparatives

Die mit 330 Euro keineswegs günstige Nest Cam IQ von Google erzielt in der Bewertung des PC-Magazins nur die Note befriedigend und den vorletzten Rang.

Für den Sicherheits-Test von IP-Kameras testet das Innsbrucker Testlabor AV-Comparatives für das PC-Magazin.

Videokameras, die zumindest bei unberechtigtem Zugriff Einblicke in private Lebensumstände gewähren könnten, verdienen besonderes Augenmerk auf das Thema Sicherheit. Und hier zeigt sich im Testfeld leider, dass in dieser Hinsicht eher die teureren Modelle die Nase vorn haben.

“Einigen IP-Sicherheitskameras fehlt es an eigener Sicherheit. Sogar eine der teuersten, die 330 Euro Nest Cam IQ von Google, landete auf eine der letzten Plätze in der Bewertungen des PC Magazins ein.” Peter Stelzhammer, co-founder, AV-Comparatives

Wobei hohe Preise auch noch kein Garant für Sicherheit sind: Die mit 330 Euro keineswegs günstige Nest Cam IQ von Google erzielt in unserer Bewertung nur die Note befriedigend und den vorletzten Rang. Bei aller Freude an Features, Bild- und Tonqualität und Bedienkomfort: Käufer sollten gerade in dieser Gerätekategorie verstärkt auf die Sicherheit achten.
