    Secuplug+ 4MP PTZ camera with 10x optical zoom

    I have 2 of the the 2MP variants that I picked up on Amazon. I have been running them for about 9 months, and I have not had any issues with them. We have a fairly large seasonal change, single digits or below 0 in winter, and mid to upper 90's in summer and cameras have tolerated the weather...

    I never did find a password, I let jontheripper run for a few days on the hash found in the passwd file for root, but never got anything. I was able to reflash the camera at the uboot console using tftp to copy a good firmware to the camera. Let me know if you want to try doing that, I think i...

    Periodic noise triggering motion events BESAFE LBH24S200

    I have a BESAFE LBH24S200 and I noticed periodic noise showing up about every 7-8 seconds that triggers a motion event on this camera. This just started in the past week I think. The nighttime temperatures have been dropping into the 30's, but I wouldn't think that would cause this noise...

    Q's Cheap Camera Shootout

    Back on page 11 of this thread I mentioned that I could not get the BESAFE LBH24S200 to connect to my NVR. I then started having stability issues with the camera as well. Very sluggish when connecting to the camera via the browser. I tried rebooting and resetting to factory defaults, but the...

    Hacking your network from an IP camera

    I blocked all of my cameras and the NVR from accessing the Internet at the cable modem. I then bought a cheap linksys E1200 refurbished on Amazon and flashed it with DD-WRT and configured OpenVPN. I used Ubuntu to generate my certs and I can access my NVR and/or cameras using OpenVPN from my...

    Q's Cheap Camera Shootout

    Yes, I have other cameras connected with ONVIF. The NVR can see the camera, but will not stream the video. I used ODM to get the details from the camera, and everything looks good. One of my cameras is connecting via port 8899, another one uses 8999, and this camera uses port 80. I also ran...

    Q's Cheap Camera Shootout

    I ordered the LBH24S200 from Aliexpress seller CDY-Technique for the 39.59 sale price. Took about 12-13 days for shipping. Firmware says IMX323. Only issue I'm having is getting my cheap generic NVR to connect.

    The only other port I found open was 20203. Not sure what is running there, if I telnet to it, it just echos back keystrokes.

    Help identify bricked PTZ camera

    No luck yet. If I add the init=/bin/sh to the bootargs in u-boot, then boot the camera, it boots, but I do not get a root shell, and the telnet port is no longer active, so it apparently doesn't like the init=/bin/sh. For the heck of it, I tried init=/bin/bash and the camera booted as though...

    @pal251, maybe a bit of background on my motives will help. I've been an IT professional since 1984 starting with Digital Equipment Corporation, and have always liked to tinker with things. I take DSLRs apart to remove filters to make them more sensitive to do astrophotograpy, converting old...

    Well, I'm not sure what to do next. I could not get the windows10 version of tftp to put the file, but I got the Opentftp server to work, and served up the two files I received from the seller. I could then issue the tftp <filename> from the uboot console and the file would be transferred...

    VrolonFrog, Thanks, I was able to tftp the firmware. printenv shows the fileaddr and filesize changed after the tftp completed. I feel like a total noob, and I've read multiple threads, but I don't know what the next step is in the process. Do I need to move the firmware to a new location on...
