If you are still relying on an old version of WebcamXP (v5 or v6) and are worried about the secret32 issue, consider migrating to modern alternatives.
| Software | Security Features | Port Flexibility | |----------|------------------|------------------| | Blue Iris | Strong auth, SSL/TLS, 2FA | Yes | | MotionEye (Linux) | No default secrets, password required | Yes | | ZoneMinder | User permissions, HTTPS | Yes | | TinyCam Pro (Android) | Cloud relay or direct with auth | Yes | | RTSP Simple Server | Token-based auth | Yes |
If you love WebcamXP, simply upgrade to the latest version (WebcamXP 7 or Webcam Pro). The secret32 default was removed years ago, but many legacy installs remain vulnerable.

⚠️ Security Warning: The text you provided contains a specific port (8080) and what appears to be a password ("secret32"). Sending this information via text message or email is a security risk. If this is a real password, I strongly recommend changing it immediately and sharing connection details through a more secure method (like a password manager or an encrypted chat) rather than plain text.
