Pro 3 - optimizing security

[Nonia]

Hi All,

Model Version:  Pro 3
Firmware: Latest available
OS: portable
network: standard setup

After spending significant amounts of time I've decided the following is true:

WPA2 is hopelessly outdated, WPA3 is not widely adopted yet, WPA2 is very easy to intercept traffic and credentials, 3G/4G is also relatively easy to interfere with.

-- VPN protects traffic on the phone/tablet and I recommend people use a VPN with their phone/tablet if they are using the Arlo app (or not using the app).  Mozilla is putting out a WireGuard VPN which is worth looking into for everyone for 24 hour use.

Cameras connected to a single wireless access point are vulnerable to signal suppression attacks and intercepted and maliciously transmitted control signals.
-- A wired mesh network backbone between wireless access points running the same Wi-Fi dual band networks allows for a fall back to a different band or a different wireless access point if traffic is heavily suppressed or blocked to one wireless access point on one band.

Essentially we want a camera which is fail-safe and has as many fail safes and different ways of accomplishing the same task as possible
-- Power:  Battery, camera wrapped in solar cells, power over ethernet, etc
--Signal: VPN to camera, WPA3, wired backbone mesh for routers, dual band routers, Multiple Wi-Fi points in range, ethernet
--Carriers: Failback to optical, 3G/4G, and/or Star Link satellite.
--Storage: Local storage, online storage, AI selection and compression, Really good quality storage outcomes for people who don't want to pay for AI processing but do want a good quality local and online storage option.

As cameras are a popular target to hack it is worth looking into working with a dns resolver and a dns server to provide visibility and management outcomes to odd traffic.
