Can GoPro WiFi BacPac and Remote be used with surveillance purposes?

Home >  Can GoPro WiFi BacPac and Remote be used with surveillance purposes?
I mean, is there any possibility that it will be used with bad intentions and if it is then can I protect myself from it somehow?





Hi Frederic!


GoPro made an awesome camera for helmets (but it also can be mounted in many other places). It is very comfortable to use and may become quite handy for extreme sport fans that want to record their activity from the most cool angle and in full motion speed. But sometimes it is hard for them to control this camera and make it work as they want, picturing what and when it is necessary.


So GoPro created new addition to their camera and called it WiFi BacPac and Remote. This addition allows any user of this system to control up to 50 GoPro cameras remotely and transmit recorded video or even stream it in real time to smartphones, tablets or waterproof WiFi Remote. In that way extreme sports lover will be able to entertain his or her friends with live video footage of own adventures or preview how the video that is currently pictures would look.


Yet if some bad guys would wish to make a video about you for blackmailing or other purposes then they might use GoPro WiFi BacPac and Remote as the easy way to make such video. In order to secure yourself from possible problems you can avoid being pictured by GoPro WiFi BacPac and Remote camera and be safe from this threat.
