Sikocam Privacy Settings: Passwords, Sharing and Sense

Protect a Sikocam setup properly: a strong account password, careful sharing, camera placement manners and a short audit that keeps you in control.

Sikocam Privacy Settings: Passwords, Sharing and Sense

A camera system sees a lot of ordinary life, so its privacy settings deserve ten real minutes. Through siko cam, your account password and your sharing list are the two doors; this page walks both, plus placement manners.

The password is the front door

Use a long, unique password for the app account, one you use nowhere else, because this account opens live rooms in your home. If the app or your phone offers an extra sign in check, turn it on. Never send the password to anyone by message: sharing is done by invite, inside the app, so the password never needs to travel.

Keep going with how sharing works once this part is done; the two steps belong together in practice.

The sharing list is the side gate

Read the sharing list for every camera twice a year and remove anyone you do not instantly recognise. Sitters change, phones get replaced, relatives help once and keep access forever by accident. The list is short; the audit is minutes; the peace of mind is out of proportion to both.

Placement manners

Point cameras at doors, drives and counters, not into neighbours' windows or at a shared pavement longer than you need. Tell household members and regular visitors the cameras are there. A system people trust is a system people leave alone, and that trust is a security feature in itself.

Quick Answers

Someone else set up my camera. Should I change anything?

Yes. Put the camera on your own account with your own password, then check the sharing list is empty apart from your invites.

Can the site team see my cameras?

No. This site publishes the app download and help pages; your cameras and account live in the app, not with us.

What if I lose the phone with the app?

Sign in on a new phone and change the account password at once. Your cameras follow the account, not the handset.

Should I update camera firmware?

Yes, from inside the app when it offers. Firmware updates carry security fixes as well as features.
