A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Most people that install security cameras don't directly connect them to the internet like this. A company that's installing them at scale should be aware of this.
Modern Hikvision and Dahua cameras don't have a default password. They require you to set a strong password during initial setup.
In general, a lot of electronics have moved away from generic default passwords, as many jurisdictions ban them now. Any modern device should either require you to set the password during initial setup, or have a randomly-generated password printed on a sticker under the device.
The device you found was either a very old one, or one where the owner intentionally set a basic password.
