A leading security camera-maker has sent footage from inside a family's home to the wrong person's app.

Swann Security has blamed a factory error for the data breach - which was brought to its attention by the BBC - and said it was a "one-off" incident.

However, last month another customer reported a similar problem saying his version of the same app had received footage from a pub's CCTV system. Swann said it was attempting to recover the kit involved in this second case. In the meantime, it said it had notified the UK's data privacy watchdog of both cases.
