Yes, this is a Hikvision’s Device

2014.
A STRONG password protects you
from potential cyber attack risk!
I would like to explain how.

7. Great! I’m going to modify
my password to a STRONG
one right away!
BTW, regarding a few old devices,
when users upgrade them to the
latest firmware, the former user
name & password will still be valid.
However, the device will also remind
users if it is a ‘weak’ password.
