Abstract: The development of Internet of Things technology and the decline of hardware costs have made large-scale camera interconnection possible. Security vendors have cooperated with governments to develop various security standards to achieve interconnection and unified management among cameras of different brands and models. However, there are still some security issues in some standards and their specific implementations. This article takes an existing camera security standard as an example, analyzes these issues in detail and proposes corresponding enhancements. We propose a camera security compliance testing system to test various security capabilities including the one-way authentication capability, the two-way authentication capability and the signaling authentication capability.
