All video streams, as well as any video device commands, are sent over a VPN connection using bank-grade AES-256 encryption. This means that even if there is no security on the local Wi-Fi network (or if the local Wi-Fi network is compromised), cameras always connect over a high-security path, using either the VPN or through HTTPS. The cameras employ password protection to prevent access from outside the Alarm.com website, with the cameras employing advanced MD5-based digest authentication for user authentication.
