I don't understand the question?
Got it! Thanks.
Gave this a try and it looks like all commands completed except the console.bat file and this is the error I got. Any ideas where I went wrong?
I did add 192.168.254.254. I double checked the network settings and everything looked correct. I'll try these two alternatives. Thanks.
I found my mistake - I had entered 192.168.254.254. as gateway address and not IP address. Now I get this ...
Hopefully I am closer! if I understood you correctly, It was not necessary for me to write my own commands.txt as i could just use the default. After starting TFTPserver.bat and power cycling the camera, this is what I get:
I ran as admin before but double checked and the results are the same. Port 69 bind failed. My PC is connected to a switch and the Camera is connected to the same switch. These are the only devices on the switch. Also, no data activity on the switch at the camera connection. I also did power cycle the camera.
It has nothing to do with the physical network, the application is not able to bind on the requested address.
solarwinds was using port 69 so i stopped it which corrected the bind error. now i am getting listening on 192.168.254.254:69
No luck getting it to run but looks much more promising. No errors and now listening on 192.168.254.254:69. Going to go over eveything again and backtrack a bit from scratch.
Sent you a paypal -
@cor35vet which firmware file was this? I should be receiving some of the same IPC-HDW4431C-A cameras in a week or so and want to insure they have more recent firmware, as they are probably older stock being clearanced.
Also let people who know how to do all of the crazy and advanced unbricking methods try out the firmware upgrades once they confirm it won't brick your camera then go for it, I never do a firmware upgrade unless there is a good reason AND a few other people have tried it without any issues.
HDW4431C-A is Eos, see Dahua Firmware Mod Kit + Modded Dahua Firmware
Pretty easy to unbrick cameras with TFTP, if you are up for some fun why not?
Sure, IF your camera isn't so fucked up that you can do TFTP, if you get to the point where you are having to solder JTAG connectors onto it and stuff, not everyone wants to do all that. Typically if my computer borks itself I can reinstall the OS and be back up in 10 minutes. All depends on the situation, do I want to risk bricking one of my in production security cameras? Not really, or any camera I paid a couple hundred bucks for not long ago, nah, if its a camera someone gave me, or is old and junk anyways, sure why not lol.
