This is kind of scary.
The Toronto-area dental office didn’t know it but the security camera in its waiting room were being streamed live on the Internet.
Anyone could log on to the website and watch as patients came and went. Front-desk staff answering phones and working on their computers entering patient information.
It could be a serious breach of patient privacy. But it’s more than that – unsecured cameras also leave the entire network open for virtual intruders.

Let me guess. The cameras installed were capable of streaming the video but the moron who installed it left them unsecured. Virtually anybody could see them and a website is simply collecting all cameras in one spot. Kinda like installing WiFi router that anybody can join in.
