Overview[]
This report presents the results of a project that conducted a technical review of security features in different categories of consumer home Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The categories of IoT devices included smart light bulbs, security lights, security cameras, doorbells, plugs, thermostats, and televisions.
The purpose of the project was to better understand security capabilities of these IoT devices and to inform general considerations for manufacturers for improving the security of consumer home IoT devices. This report provides those considerations, along with observations of IoT devices' security features, to indicate current practices and how these current practices could be improved.
