It’s an ethernet wire that’s going to be exiting my house and running to a camera in a publicly accessible space. An attacker could disconnect the camera, connect a laptop and access my network. How could I protect against that (other than a physical lock)? I basically want to lock down that cable to the point where nothing works on it unless it’s the intended camera. If this was wireless, I’d just use MAC filtering, but I don’t see an equivalent for wired connections.

    Mac filtering is not real security. It is very easy to bypass it that filtering macs is almost as secure as not doing it. Your best options are :

    • placing the connection port in a hard to reach location
    • place that port in a isolated vlan coupled with some firewall rules so that all the outgoing connections are dropped
    • if your switch can, play with ACL’s to further lock it down
    • if you really want to get serious about port security, you will need a RADIUS server. But most of the ip cameras won’t be compatible…
