Historically, older versions of webcam software were often deployed with default credentials or simple passwords to ease setup. Using a simple password (like "secret32" or similar common strings) or leaving the admin interface exposed on a non-standard port (like 8080) is a primary vector for exploitation.
The reference to "server 8080" in your query points to the default or alternative HTTP port used by the webcamXP internal web server. my webcamxp server 8080 secret32 install
