Yes, but that makes it a poor example of “how little these systems should be trusted”.
The IP cameras you can find with Google are because there's a lack of a firewall on them. It's possible to use devices on your local network without anyone knowing if you know what you're doing.
But because we consider electronics "consumer products" we don't have qualified professionals installing them, so we get doors without locks on them.
