Lock Down Your Smart Home In 30 Minutes

Smart devices ship with weak defaults and stay vulnerable until you change them. A breached camera, doorbell, or hub is a privacy disaster.

The Smart Home Security Quick-Start Checklist walks you through the essential security steps that apply to almost every smart device, in the order that matters most. Start with an inventory, lock the accounts, fix the defaults, and finish with the router that connects them all.

Perfect for anyone with cameras, speakers, plugs, or a doorbell who has never gone back and secured them.

What's Included

✔ Inventory First

List every smart device: speakers, hubs, cameras, doorbells, plugs, TVs
Identify the app and account tied to each one
Remove anything unused — fewer devices means less risk

✔ Lock The Accounts

Use a strong, unique password for every smart-home account
Turn on two-factor authentication on every account that supports it
Remove unused users, such as old roommates or former partners, from device sharing

✔ Update & Defaults

Update firmware on every device and turn on auto-updates if available
Change default passwords on anything that still uses one, like older cameras
Disable features you don't use, such as remote access and voice purchasing

✔ Network & Router

Update your router's firmware and admin password
Put smart devices on a guest network, separate from your computers and phones
Disable UPnP and WPS unless you specifically need them

✔ Bonus Pro Tip

Learn why the forgotten devices matter most — an old plug, an unused hub, a camera you stopped using. You can't secure what you don't track, and forgotten devices are how attackers get in.
