Well the interior ministry didn't really demand one (yes really) but the opposition people have read the documentation for the cameras and the hash of the supplied software was exactly the same as the hash for the russian simicon camera.

They bought tech from a bogus company. Putting that aside, we still don't know if RU exploited the backdoor.

Occam's razor says this was simply a custom batch that was available cheap.

There was no time to exploit it because only two cameras were installed, and one of them was right in seat of the company that supplied it.
