FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) -- This holiday season brings plenty of opportunity for burglars to ransack your house.

Home security experts say if you're going out of town, even if you have a security system, make sure you lock your doors and windows.

Nate Routsong of Simplx Security says you should also check your timer lights to make sure they're programmed for winter hours.

"A lot of people do have timer lights. We encourage you to set those, make sure that they are set correctly. With Daylight Savings, it gets dark differently than it does in the summer and so you want to make sure that it's appropriate for the time of year that it is. This may be the first time that you're traveling since the summer and some things may need to be adjusted," Routsong says.

Never, ever post anything to social media -- that goes for your kids, too.

Just because you trust your friends list, your information doesn't necessarily remain private.

"When one of your family or friends likes that then all of a sudden, it may post to their friends or other people that they liked what you said. And then all of a sudden somebody that you may not even know will find out that you're gone, and it just makes you very vulnerable," Routsong says.

You could also leave a car in the driveway so would-be burglars think someone is home.

And make sure if you have an alarm company, that it knows your new phone numbers and you know your password.

Amaryllo has introduced its iCamPro FHD, something it says is the first home security robot available. The small round unit features an integrated camera that keeps tabs on one's home or office, monitoring movement, sounds, and more to detect if an intruder is present. The related app is used to communicate with the home owner with picture alerts and more. Last month, the device was bestowed with a 2015 CES Best of Innovations award, and if all goes as planned it'll hit the market next year.

The iCamPro is small enough to fit on one's palm, and connects to a local wireless network to help facilitate its various smart features, including video uploads directly to Google Drive. The camera comes in at 2-megapixels and records Full HD video, with dynamic channel adjustment downgrading when needed based on bandwidth.

The lens provides a wide viewing angle without distortion, and promises to stream both video and audio without any delays or stuttering. There's 256-bit encryption, a mechanized infrared-cut filter, support for both Android and iOS, and more.

The company behind iCamPro sought $1,000 USD on Indiegogo, where it has exceeded that goal with about $12,300 USD raised and 30 days remaining. To get one of the "super early" units in white, you'll need to pledge $149 USD. Shipping is worldwide, and slated for May 2015.

Researchers at Check Point have discovered a serious security vulnerability affecting at least 12 million leading-brand home and SME routers that appears to have gone unnoticed for over a decade.

Dubbed the Misfortune Cookie flaw, the firm plans to give a detailed account of the issue at a forthcoming security conference but in the meantime its important to stress that no real-world attacks using it have yet been detected.

That said, an attacker exploiting the flaw would be able to monitor all data travelling through a gateway such as files, emails and logins and have the power to infect connected devices with malware. Man-in-the-middle attacks would also be possible, according to Check Point.

The precise source of the issue is not known - a chipset software development kit (SDK) is suspected - but Check Point warned that up to 200 unpatched models using the RomPager embedded web server software (which uses a remote service called TR-069) prior to version 4.34 were probably vulnerable.

As to which products are affected, this is where it gets a little complicated. Check Point estimates that at least 12 million devices are affected across the world but suggested this could be an underestimate.

Given the popularity of RomPager and the list of affected brands - D-Link, Edimax, Huawei, TP-Link, ZTE, and ZyXEL sold mainly to home users - such pessimism is realistic.

D-Link's DSL-2600U router is one of many affected models.

The issue dates back to 2002 but should have been fixed by an update three years later. However, as Check Point notes:

The patch propagation cycle, however, is incredibly slow (sometimes non-existent) with these types of devices. We can confirm many devices today still ship with the vulnerable version in place, said its research note.

The vulnerability had been designated CVE-2014-9222, but Check Point said that identifying affected devices might not be easy for many users. Some vendors had patched the issue but that fact might not have changed the version number in RomPager software to one later than 4.34.

Joanne Schnurr, CTV Ottawa Published Thursday, December 18, 2014 1:54PM EST Last Updated Friday, December 19, 2014 7:39PM EST

Ottawa Police have released security footage of a man they believe is responsible for robbing a 101-year-old war veteran.

Police say they're investigating several leads in the search for a suspect wanted in connection with a home invasion Thursday morning involving a 101-year-old decorated war vet.

He fought on the beaches of Normandy to bring peace to this world. At 101 years of age, Colonel Ernest Ct encountered another enemy in his own home Thursday morning in Ottawa. Ct was robbed in a home invasion in his condo on Durham Private in New Edinburgh. It happened when a man buzzed Ct's condo, claiming to be an employee with the city of Ottawa. Ct was tied up and robbed in a violent attack that this war veteran faced with courage. Late Thursday afternoon, Colonel Ernest Ct showed up at Ottawa Police headquarters to give a police statement, mere hours after being tied up and robbed. He didn't want to talk to the media, though.

The Juno Beach vet started his day in a horrifying manner. At 7:30 A.M. , a man buzzed his condo in the secure high-end complex in New Edinburgh, identifying himself as a city of Ottawa employee. Ct let him in.

The suspect then went to victims door, says Staff Sergeant Mike Haarbosch of the Ottawa Police, and asked for cash and when he was refused, he forced his way into the apartment and it was at that point that he bound the victim, who is 101 years of age.

The suspect searched the apartment and made off with several items. Ct managed to free himself and call police.

CTV featured Colonel Ernest Ct recently, for the 70th anniversary of the Normandy landing. It's a battle where Canadian soldiers showed what they were made of; earned respect that should last their life time.

What happened to him in his own home is anything but respectful. So shocking was this attack on a decorated war hero, even the prime minister's wife was compelled to respond.

On Twitter she wrote, Honored to travel to France last June with D-Day vet Ernest Ct. Horrified to read he was robbed. Our thoughts are with him & his family.

A Las Vegas burglar caught on video just so happened to pick the home of a family that owns a security company.

Surveillance video from the house in the 2800 block of Jeffrey Pines Street, near the intersection of Cheyenne Avenue and Rancho Drive, shows the intruder knocking on the front door before showing up on another side of the home holding a revolver and later breaking a window with a mop handle.

The burglar wearing a UNLV beanie and a letterman jacket got away with three guns, an iPad and an iPhone, said 31-year-old Shari Brantley, whose family owns Brantley Security.

No one was home at the time, just after 3 p.m. Tuesday, and she was the last to leave. But, she said, she didnt do one thing her company always recommends: turn on the alarm.

I was just going to be gone for a short time, she said Thursday.

Earlier in the day, Brantley said, shed been at home with her 8-year-old daughter, who was sick and didnt go to school. She said shes glad they werent there when the burglar showed up with a gun.

Police confirmed Thursday confirmed an ongoing burglary investigation and said they are using the video and photos provided by the Brantleys to try to identify a suspect. No arrests have been made, Metro spokesman Officer Larry Hadfield said.

Anyone with information should call Metros robbery section at 702-828-3591 or, to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 or visit http://www.crimestoppersofnv.com. Tips directly leading to an arrest through Crime Stoppers may result in a cash reward.
