As alastairstevenson pointed out, you can mount (temporarily) NFS share to /tmp/nfs (I suggest NOT to mount on /tmp, as there may be open files in it). First, create a directory on your Ubuntu machine where you will store firmware file, copy file and export it over NFS, say, sudo bash mkdir...

Hard to say what has happened without doing some diagnostics, but from your description of the issue it seems that firmware or configuration of your camera has been damaged. Apparently, linux kernel and TCP/IP stack is started, but 'Sofia' program (or, whatever is driving the functionality of...

Just tried it on my camera. Apparently you cannot login as 'root' from the console at port 9527, as it is not 'telnetd' that listens on this port, but some 'dvrHelper' application. I can login with 'admin' user and password, though. But it does not seem to be an option for you, as you do not...

I guess password is OK. What is not OK is terminal settings when you telnet to port 9527. I suggest trying few combinations: to use either ^J (ctrl-j) or ^M (ctrl-m) after typing username and password.

Hmm.. been thinking about an NVR box but too lazy to buy one. Looking into turning a Raspberry Pi into an NVR. Oh, and a quick 'de-brick' procedure, JIC, as I went through it today in the morning. I disassembled the 'water-proof' case, easy to do: remove two screws and front part, then two...

OK, got the message. By the way - Did you test FTP offload with motion detection (Setting->System->NetService->FTP, then Setting->Alarm->Video Motion-> check FTP)? FTP does not work at all in my camera, tried few different firmware releases. My next mod attempt would be, most probably, to make...

Finally succeeded to customise the /mnt/custom (/dev/mtdblock4) part of my camera's firmware after flashing one proposed by cybermaus (Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)). Managed to 'brick' the camera in due course by destroying files in /mnt/custom...

Thank you very much, cybermaus. That worked perfectly and backdoor is back! One of the reasons I wanted to upgrade is that with original firmware, telnet to port 9527 was not giving any screen output, so I had to login and type commands blindly without seeing any result. Your firmware version...

Did anyone try to change and burn just one partition of camera's flash? Are there any instructions? I am interested in modifying 'custom' partition (referred to as 'custom-x.cramfs.img' in firmware ZIP file). The reason I would like to do it is that I flashed newer firmware to my camera and...
