In fairness, French password requirements include one uppercase, one number, and three letters you don’t pronounce.
There's no link to that post and I can't find it in other ways. I'm really not sure if this is real. There's also no mention how they're accessible. If it's not accessible from public networks... who cares?
CCTV have internet access?

Isn’t this suppose to be a “closed-circuit”.

Closed Circuit maybe just Cloud Computing TV now haha
Still better than 'mot de passe' (password)
> The Louvre's CCTV password was "Louvre"

Well, it is a "medium" password. Not "strong", not "weak", but "medium". It has 6 characters (instead of 8-11), it has big letters, small letters, the only thing missing being numbers and special signs. /s

Make security hard for users and the users will skip it entirely.

I'd guess the rationale went something like "why are we protecting a camera system to a public museum, where anyone can see whatever is there by walking in"?

Of course, this also means we don't need Lester Crest to help us find out the vault contents (so no need to hack the security guard's phone for the wifi password either).
