Important security update released for the Huddly L1 and S1 Windows IP camera driver
As part of our commitment to your security, we’ve got important news to share. A recent third-party security audit found a vulnerability in the IP camera driver for the Huddly L1 and S1 cameras. To address this issue, our engineering team immediately developed, tested, and verified a patch, which is now available in version 8.0.7 of the software. It started rolling out through Windows Update at the end of September, and most customers should already have this installed. It is also accessible on our website.
To make sure your devices are secure, please follow the instructions below as soon as you can.
