So, less than two weeks after the email notification about the firmware update and before I had chance to do it my hiki was reset to default. Now going again and I have done the update. I've not read everything, but I didn't have a default password, the one they talk about is 12345, I had to set a password from the start. Now set a different one. The camera is just a webcam and not a security camera, so what is the point of the hack, if that is what reset the camera, as in my case I just have to redo it, no monetary loss or risk of break in etc.
The other thing I noticed was that the URL for the camera has changed from address/Streaming/Channels/1/picture to address/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture
I am not streaming a live view across the internet just image snapshots and I have also disabled nPnP.
Coincidentally and coincidences don't happen, Avast forced restarts on two of my PCs, one the webcam reset and the other lost internet with a "local area connection doesn't have a valid IP" eventually I had to set a static IP to get it to work. Something strange going on.
Fingers crossed it is all back to normal.
