Switch Bot cameras use encrypted video transmission. When connected to third-party platforms such as Home Assistant,data is transmitted and stored via the RTSP protocol, which has lower security. Using RTSP over unsecured networks may risk data interception or unauthorized access.

How to mitigate such risks:

• Enable this feature only when necessary.
• Use a strong, complex username and password.
• Ensure the password is different from your SwitchBot account credentials.
• Avoid using this feature on public networks. Use it only on secure, trusted local networks with encrypted Wi-Fi.
