It looks like they have pulled them already - or implemented some access controls.
Folders but no files for all 3 from my IP.
How does it look for others?

Given China is a communist country where the concept of private ownership of intellectual property is non-existent, I would conclude Chinese companies have little concern for "lifting" other individuals' intellectual property and using it for their own purposes. Color me skeptical that you'll ever get the HIK firmware source, montecrypto :)
