How to hack into security camera in my building

Hello, I want to hack into security camera in building from my flat (in that building) but there is a big problem. I don't know how or where should I start.
Thank you all for help ;-)
probs try locate the security office and usb rubber ducky that bitch

something like this would be ur best bet unless you know about wifi hacking and all that jaz
Identify what type of cameras are used, and if they are wireless or not. If they are not then you have to hack whatever they are connected to.

If they are wifi, and they are on the same network as you are you can scan for their port and see if they have a password. If they do look up default passwords for said system, if that doesn't work then you can try to find vulnerabilities or just bruteforce. Most systems have logs though, so you might want to change your mac address and whatnot.

Good luck, and try not to get into too much trouble

Im curious....what would be the best course of action if the cameras were not on your network and were wired?

It honestly depends on the system, I know some have a DVR type thing and some have a video server type thing. You would have to find a vulnerability in the certain system. Some cameras are hard wired but they are connected to a device that is on the wifi. I would suggest figuring out first what brand of system, then looking for the user manuals and installation manuals online and work from there.
Don't forget the oldest hack of all!

Bribe the guard...
Don't know if it's still workable, but there was a presentation about this @ BlackHat a few years ago.

I remember that, it was about a guy who bought different security cameras and looked for vulnerabilities in the firmware of each one of them, it was quite interesting, but in this case we don't even know the brand of OP's target camera.
but if that is wire you need to money to hacking

This is probably your best answer, try and crack the wifi connection, find the router gateway, login to the router find the cameras connected to it, and get the MAC Address, after getting the MAC address, you can try looking up the MAC address here, https://aruljohn.com/mac.pl after doing so, you will more then likely find the type of cameras they are using, then try google searching the dafault password for that type of cameras, try login in, If login details are not working try using Hydra on kali linux. Good luck If you need any further assistance feel free to message me.
Another guess would be to find the attached DVR/NVR (if any). Most of these have shit security, and if you are lucky, you can either access the web management interface, or just telnet into that device. What I know is that Dahua and other brands have a daily admin password(6-8 numeric) for them, which you can't switch off.
Ah I've got no idea why you would want to hack it
But good luck. I'm not a hacker despite my name lol
I need to change it someday.
If they're using IP camers find the ip and use the stock username and pw.
