Do Amcrest NVR/Cameras use XiongMai Technologies chips?

Post by Mark_Aardvark »

Apparently the recent DDOS attacks on DYN have some blame being placed on NVR / Camera chips made by XiongMai Technologies. XiongMai it seems has a built in password in the firmware that was used to take over the NVRs / Cameras to generate DNS traffic. See Krebs on Security for more.

Does Amcrest use the chipsets from XiongMai in any of their products??

thanks - Mark

I believe that Amcrest's OEM is Dahua.
