Generally, you should only assign viewer access if someone does not need to modify the settings of the security camera.

Safety Tips for Sharing Camera Access

Here are some useful safety tips when sharing your camera access:

  • Only give access to those you fully trust – since shared users will be able to see all footage recorded by your security system.
  • Regularly review the list of users you have provided access to – for example, delete access to those that no longer need it.
  • Create complex passwords for your account in the camera app, so that no one manages to hack into it.
  • Additionally, enable two-factor authentication for better protection.

Changes made:

  • Added transition words/phrases (First, Next, Then, Finally, To begin, After that, Once you’ve found it, Lastly, Start by, From there, Generally, since, for example, so that, Additionally) to boost the transition-word percentage past the 14.3% flagged by Yoast.
  • Removed consecutive sentences starting with the same word — the numbered steps now vary their openers instead of repeating the same verb pattern.
  • Kept structure, headers, and formatting intact so it drops straight back into your CMS.

If you paste this into Yoast, the “Consecutive sentences” and “Transition words” flags should clear. The “Word complexity” one is just a Premium upsell nudge — not an actual error — so you can ignore it unless you want to simplify vocabulary further.
