This is a common filename or directory name used by several network video recorder (NVR) and IP camera software packages. When you log into a camera's web interface, the page that displays the live video stream often has "viewerframe" in its filename (e.g., viewerframe.aspx, viewerframe.html, viewerframe.php).
You do not need to use Google dorks to check your own security. Do this instead:
This specific dork primarily targets older or poorly configured models from two major manufacturers: inurl viewerframe mode motion my location free
