Abstract

The popularity of smart home technology has led to increased use of Wi-Fi cameras, which provide real-time video streaming and remote access. However, the wireless transmission of video and audio data raises privacy and security concerns, including unauthorized access and data breaches. This study employs a qualitative research approach to investigate privacy concerns associated with Wi-Fi cameras in smart homes. This study investigates privacy concerns related to Wi-Fi cameras in smart homes. While these cameras offer convenience and security, they also raise privacy issues. The study explores potential risks and aims to provide insights and solutions through a qualitative analysis of user experiences. Semi-structured interviews with Wi-Fi camera users will explore experiences and perceptions of privacy risks and strategies for managing them. Thematic analysis of the data collected will identify patterns related to privacy concerns and user experiences. The study aims to contribute to literature on smart home security by informing strategies for addressing privacy concerns and promoting responsible use of smart home technology.
