I'm skeptical of this. These types of cameras typically have a cell/LTE internet connection that should be dropping all inbound requests and connect to some sort of a back end via VPN. Its possible that they weren't set up to drop inbound connections from the internet, but it seems much more likely that they were hacked from deeper in the network.

How can we make sure our systems are secure if we can't audit them, and how can we audit our systems if we can't SSH in, and how can we meaningfully SSH in if we can only do it from the office and not from employee computers at home? /sarcasm
