Hi Colin,
I knew I'd seen some translations for the Mandarin buttons but I'd completely forgotten it was earlier in this thread so thank you for that.
I had a look back through the captured stuff of Tina's activities and have realised it's much simpler than I thought.
In the device list, check the checkbox for the camera you want to work on then Right-click anywhere in that row.
This pops up a context menu (in Mandarin of course!). Click the top item.
Another window will then pop up displaying (by default) some startup configuration items for the camera.
Copy and paste them into a text document which must be named custom_setting.ini.
Edit and Save that file in Notepad as required.
Here is what mine looks like after the fix for 720p. The changed item is emboldened:
misc_config0=2147483652
th_sensor_support = 0
CustomSetPasswd = 888888
net_time_sync = 1
IpcUartCommunicateSupport = 1
uart1_baudrate = 9600
SricamConfig = 1
customer = 13
Remote_Reboot_Support = 1
Set_MD_Level_Support = 1
Finally, use the Upgrade button in exactly the same way you would to upload a new .bin to the camera but upload custom_setting.ini instead.
Presumably it is saved to flash memory as it's contents are preserved across resets (10 second press of the button), in fact that may be the only time the camera actually reads it but I haven't proved that yet.
On the subject of browser viewing, I don't know if this is any help to you but I have got my Sricams plus another cheap Onvif camera to display in good old Internet Explorer 11 by utilising the activex plugin that is part of VLC. You would need to install VLC on each PC but then you can do this sort of thing in a standard HTML document (substitute your real IP address of course):
<OBJECT classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921"

target="rtsp://xx.xx.xx.xx:554/onvif1" ></embed>
</OBJECT>
Now I can see the hands going up in horror at the thought of letting IE run an activex control but in a correctly secured intranet environment I don't think I'd be too worried.
I haven't tried this with any other browsers but I gather VLC also supports Firefox and Safari.
Regarding setting a fixed IP address, I have managed to get that to work fine with my cameras using the SricamPC application. What happens when you try?
Regards,
Steve.
