Interesting looking through the passwords... There are a lot of repeated sequences throughout the year at the end of the code. I think their code is pretty weak.

I got the same email. Really odd. Questions..
1). Why would you have this backdoor in 2016?
2). Why would you email it when XiongMai are clearly up for a fight.

Nothing new ,Hikvision's secure code generator based on serial number and date has been on the web for many years! I don't consider it an issue as you need to be on site in order to clear the password.
Just look at your broadband routers, they have a factory reset button , a one-touch wifi connection, one password for all and remote access. I haven't seen much negative publicity on that subject and there are more routers than CCTV system around the world.
Xionmai used to use telnet ( local ) but decided on one password per day just like Dahua did. Dahua has now revised the " one password " facility. Hikvision also used to have Telnet.
