    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    Here's a memo I've made after managing to establish a serial connection to the camera (hopefully the PIN layout is right): There are other ways to change the password but, to avoid possible issues, I think the safest thing you can do is firewalling telnet's port 23 of that device (TCP, input...

    ;) You're right about the accessibility issue regarding the gif (for example it can't be read by people using a screen reader): I didn't copy & paste the whole thing because only a few commands are really necessary (the others are additional checks). I think that providing an exact recording...

    I've read the manpage for BusyBox v1.16.1 but the version shipped on the IP camera seems to differ a bit (as the built-in help shows that command won't accept any argument). I've discovered the right command to start a non-crippled telnetd daemon listening on the default port (23) by trial and...

    Thanks, I'll try it this week (as soon as I've enough free time). Hi, I've used ttygif. The exact way I recorded that gif is reported here: Terminal emulator: xterm (132x43) Start recording: ttyrec myrecording filename Stop recording: CTRL + D (or type exit) Generate gif from the recorded...

    Unfortunately here's what happen (gif animation): I've also tried issuing the command you suggested (I've confirmed /sbin is the correct path): /sbin/telnetd & But the result is always the same: : not found As you may have noticed from the gif, some error messages are printed during the...

    Thanks for the explanation. Thanks. I'll try fiddling with that one in order to see what happens...

    Didn't want to be annoying, just that I'm a curious person and I like to thinker with this kind of low cost devices... As you've correctly written it isn't right to expect too much from cheap device like this: just wanted to know if there were publicly known issues / exploits in order to...

    Sorry if I wasn't clear: I meant to ask if there were any unique features available only using CMS? (I don't think so) Uhm so, ignoring the fact that all the traffic is in cleartext (it isn't good but unfortunately it isn't surprising), you say the camera may be dangerous / hostile even for use...

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    You're right (there's an option to insert the ip manually at the end of the drop down list): never noticed that one... As these kind of devices are quite vulnerable, if exposed carelessly on the internet, before setting it up I'm checking what's the safety level of this ipcamera. Here's the...

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    Yeah maybe it was just a wrong expectation on my part: I was surprised, thinking it wasn't working properly, because in the past I configured a few devices with static IPs and I recall they were listed in the "devices" section of the router too. So, assuming both the camera and the router are...

    You mean the one in the CD, right (General DeviceManage)? The PC I'm testing from is in the same subnet of the ipcamera. Anyway, I've just tried viewing the stream with ffmpeg: ffplay rtsp://192.168.1.10:554/user=admin_password=_channel=1_stream=0.sdp?real_stream and it's indeed streaming...

    The camera replies to the ping requests. I was wrong: same as above (it replies to the ping requests).

    No, I'll try it now. I don't think that's possible: when I start the camera normally [no serial, 1) power adapter, 2) ethernet cable (connected to the router)] the device doesn't get recognized (it isn't listed in the connected clients sections of the router).

    Hi everybody. I've just got a "TOP-201 IR" camera which seems faulty, don't know if the one I'm experiencing it's a known issue: maybe someone can help me to sort it out... Let me explain: the camera body looks fine (although there are some scratches, maybe it was refurbished even if sold as...
