I explained that. Expanding, after the exploit happened, despite having knowledge of it, they did not notify their US dealers. So all of their installers woke up one day with all the customer machines hijacked and they had to scramble to figure out how to do a hardware password reset.

Proper response to breaches (of any sort) is almost more important than the security of the device.

BTW the new firmware won't allow you to leave the password as the default so that is sorted out.

I've had a few that were hacked.
I used to show the client how to set the password and told them they could change it after I left. They never do.
Each required a trip to reset the DVR and now I automatically change every password myself.
