Official description
Vivotek IP7137 camera with firmware version 0200a by default dos not require to provide any password when logging in as an administrator. While it is possible to set up such a password, a user is not informed about such a need. The vendor has not replied to the CNA. Possibly all firmware versions are affected. Since the product has met End-Of-Life phase, a fix is not expected to be released.
