Due to an error in the software interface to the secure element chip on Bosch IP cameras of family CPP13 and CPP14, the chip can be permanently damaged when enabling the Stream security option (signing of the video stream) with option MD5, SHA-1 or SHA-256.
The product does not implement or incorrectly implements wear leveling operations in limited-write non-volatile memories.

Non-volatile memories such as NAND Flash, EEPROM, etc. have individually erasable segments, each of which can be put through a limited number of program/erase or write cycles. For example, the device can only endure a limited number of writes, after which the device becomes unreliable. In order to wear out the cells in a uniform manner, non-volatile memory and storage products based on the above-mentioned technologies implement a technique called wear leveling. Once a set threshold is reached, wear leveling maps writes of a logical block to a different physical block. This prevents a single physical block from prematurely failing due to a high concentration of writes. If wear leveling is improperly implemented, attackers may be able to programmatically cause the storage to become unreliable within a much shorter time than would normally be expected.
