Delete camera "admin" user accounts?

[Whoaru99]

With the Dahua cameras I have it appears I could create a new user accounts with admin privileges then delete the existing "admin" user account.

I didn't see anything in the Wiki about doing that. Is it taken for granted people do it, or doesn't it materially improve security anyway?

Doesn't help one bit. The camera should not have any access to the internet.

I changed the password, but I left the username as "admin." You have to be careful on some cameras because they have two admin accounts -- as one is assigned to ONVIF usage.
