I was wondering if someone could hack into a camera using it's wifi or bluetooth? From what I understand, cameras with these abilities can be made to take photos using someone's phone and presumably, a laptop. If that' so wouldn't it be possible to hack into a camera?

The cameras that I have with WiFi require the user to enable the WiFi transmitter with a menu button. So I don’t think they’re hackable in that sense. And if you walked around taking pictures with WiFi enabled all the time your battery life would suffer. The only use mode that’s vulnerable is if transferring photos real-time to your phone as you shoot, and someone is stalking you close by.
