Rochester, N.Y. - You can see who is at your front door before you open it.

You can check in on your loved ones in the palm of your hand.

With technology increasing at a rapid rate, more families are choosing to install home security cameras.

The Caufields wanted their security system for peace of mind.

It was my husband's decision, he felt safer knowing that I'd be protected, that we'd have the camera and the alarm, homeowner Cassandra Caufield said.

But that peace of mind can be disrupted by hackers gaining access to your home.

The New York State Attorney General issued a warning.

Using simple software, anyone can find internet cameras whose default security settings have not been changed.

Not only can criminals see your live feed but they can change settings, taking complete control of your security system.
