Smart Plugs, Thermostats, Speakers and Cameras: Setting Up Smart Home Devices Safely

Smart devices – plugs, heating controls, lights, speakers, doorbells and cameras that you control from a phone or by voice – can make home life easier and help people stay independent. But each one connects to the internet. This course explains, using National Cyber Security Centre guidance, how to choose, set up, update and dispose of smart devices safely, and what the law says about home cameras that record beyond your property.
