Not surprised, many of these vendors are doing crazy things, insane defaults, broken security, hardcoded values. Security is not a priority, I get that, but at the very least some baseline check would be nice (no hardcoded credentials for starting)

There’s some irony to security not being a priority for security cameras. Different kind of security I know, but still.

Add a skill to your repo that does some basic checks at least, not that hard
