My former coworker left to work at Flock in their R&D department and every time I see Flock popup I check his LinkedIn to see if he’s still there and hyup. I didn’t take him for the type, but I mean as recently as a month ago he was praising them.

Lot of mixed feelings from this video. Author doesn’t seem to know you can also do the exact same thing with any other HikVision camera too. I was pulling month-old feeds back in July from generic cameras. Definitely seems like a configuration issue. Given the sheer amount of these (there’s a lot in my area), why could the author only find 60 feeds? Also none of these are responding to HTTP requests anymore as I have tried all links from his shodan query.

  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.
  
  Definitely seems like a configuration issue to not require any at all
  
  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.
