    Re: Recording of stream Hi Don, My cam has been in the wars again... This time it stopped worked which I think was due to a small amount of water ingress into the camera housing. I have dried the camera out and cleaned the board with some ISO alcohol. The camera powers back up but now has a...

    I can confirm that the instructions and upgrade.img file work as directed. My camera is now unbricked and booting as normal. :-) Thanks Don and others who helped.

    My TTY to usb converter is now here. Will be ready to move to the next step tonight. Will be connecting from a Ubuntu 14.04 laptop. Do you guys know what connection settings I need to connect? Many thanks

    Hi, Cable ordered. Here is my firmware pre the attempted flash. Hopefully we can write a guide for others at the end of this. Likely a couple of days before the delivery gets to me- I will message as soon as it comes. (May be able to borrow one from work sooner, hopefully) Thanks

    Think I may have bricked my camera :-( Firmware upgrade never completed and now the camera doesn't show up on my network. I read in the ealrier posts that shorting 2 pins on the board may reset? Any other thoughts of bringing my cam back to life? Thanks

    I have a camera with this board... Therefore do the pins "reserved for POE" deal with a 48v poe injector? My gut feel tell me not and I will fry the board... However why else are there some extra pins on the P3 connector? Many thanks for the good detailed information.
