Pelicam – Enhancing Network Security through IP Camera Vulnerability Detection

Pelicam is an open-source project developed to improve local network security by identifying and raising awareness of IP camera vulnerabilities.

It is designed for security researchers, cybersecurity professionals and technology enthusiasts who want to understand and mitigate the risks associated with these connected devices.

Our aim is for the project to be continually updated and improved. Our tool can be used as a simple scanner of cameras on a network, or as an attack tool to capture video streams or even change camera settings.
