Trying to Idnetify an unbranded camera

[vofdoom]

I picked this little guy up at a resale shop and was hoping to use it but so far I can't figure out how to get it going. I've plugged it in and it seems to run through a diagnostic, spins around and beeps, etc. Also I have it plugged into my router and confirmed that does show up with an IP on my list of devices. I've tried just putting the ip in my browser, but no luck there. I've also tried holding down the reset button until it beeps, with no luck. There are no brand names or identifying labels anywhere on it. The bottom has a sticker with an ID and password. I opened it up and on the circuit board was printed YYZ1005-Z100-v1.1, and a manufacture date. I've tried a few programs that scan for ip cameras and none of them find it. I've also tried a few apps on my phone with no luck. Was hoping some one here might have some insight into what I could do to get this working, any advice would be much appreciated

The HTTP port may not be the standard 80 so you can't put in the IP in the browser and launch the embedded webGUI.

• I'd go get Fing, for free, install on smartphone.
• Plug cam into LAN, get smartphone on same LAN via Wi-Fi.
• Launch Fing, let it scan (upper left circle/arrow)
• When (or if) it finds the camera, highlight it, then select "find open ports".
• Normally it finds HTTP (usually 80) and RTSP (if available) as 554 at the very least.

Also: it may find MAC address in name at the left or to the right with Manufacturer's name.
If only MAC with no name, that MAC can be used to locate who made the cam (or more likely, the Ethernet port).

Let us know what comes up.

FWIW, many cheap cams like this are made to only work with P2P (Point-to-Point) wherein you scan a QR code or put in an ID number and it connects via your Wi-Fi to an offshore server (not such a good idea, IMO).

Downloaded Fing and ran it, looks like ports 554 RTSP and 5000 UPNP are open on the camera, no MAC address available.

This is it exactly. One of the pictures has a QR Code and a site below it: av380.cn I ran it though Google Translate and found a link to windows software hopefully for my camera. It is downloading very very slowly I will update once I get it installed !

 

[vofdoom]

Installed the software and it could not recognize the camera

Try rtsp:/IP/onvif1

 

[vofdoom]

Try rtsp:/IP/onvif1

Can you elaborate? Where am I trying this?

Can you elaborate? Where am I trying this?

Install VLC Player from VLC: Official site - Free multimedia solutions for all OS! - VideoLAN
Open it and press CTRL + N or click Media > Open Network Stream
Enter rtsp:/cameraIPadress/onvif1 and click play. (After rtsp: add two slash. I wrote with two slash, but forum removes one slash automatically)

I think you can use Hikvision’s SADP Program to see the MAC that will give you the mfg. you can download the latest version from Hikvision

I've tried this a couple of different ways including your idea with no luck

If this is your public IP address, please remove the first photo at post #2 (it shows your device ID and password). I will send you a PM to watch your cam. You can also change the password with this app.

You mean SADP does not see the camera? That is strange... then you can try other network scanning open source software. There are several that can get the ip and the Mac but I prefer SADP because it can see devices that are not on the same subnet your pc is on. If you don’t know the up address that can be very helpful.

I had some luck with Fing on my phone, I was able to see the camera had open rtsp and upnp ports but no MAC address

If you are using a newer iPhone Apple started blocking mac address viewing, I think starting with OS 11, so people couldn't use the phone to get peoples mac in public wifi settings, , I have an older iphone i keep around with Network scanner on it so I get macs.

Get this program and run it on your pc

Advanced IP Scanner - Download Free Network Scanner. It will give you the manufacturer and mac, You need to put in an address range you want to scan but your pc does not need to be on the same subnet as the device you are checking.

You don't need to install it either, it gives you the option to install but I just run it.
