I think my webcam got hacked? What can I do?

Me and My wife were at home last night, and only us have accounts login. Then I saw the red light was turn on, is that mean someone is watching?

Unless you have a very weak password on your account, the chances of this happening is very small. The video stream is encrpyted, so the only way someone would be able to view your cameras is if someone did a brute force attack on your account to discover the password, log in, and view the cameras.

More than likely what has happened is either....

1) Your camera froze up and the led IR lights got stuck on. Pulling the battery and reinserting it should fix it.

2) Your experiencing the led IR lights coming on when the cameras are turned off issue. This was fixed months ago, but I suppose it's possible your still effected.

3) The offending camera is setup in a rule that made it acitve and it was dark so when it detected motion the lights came on.

4) Maybe the camera was doing a firmware update (I don't remember if the lights come on during this process) 

5) Just a random glitch

If it just happened one time, I wouldn't worry about it.

As a PS; tho I think above is right, change your password to a strong one .
