    Lorex W452AS Floodlight cam & other Dahua LincX2PRO devices (L46N Floodlight cam, etc) SD Card method

    I bought a W452AS floodlight. So I figured out on the Dahua WIKI that the Dahua Wifi LincX2PRO line including the L46 floodlight uses the SD card for it's firmware recovery trick instead of TFTP. I have not tried loading the L46N firmware onto the Lorex W452AS yet. I'm trying to understand ways...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    As to not brick beyond our current knowledge I highly suggest he puts the rca firmware on his rca vdb then watch serial as he does a partial reset as well as a full reset to see what both erase if anything.

    Wow now your making me interested even more. Looks like this dav file could actually be some compressed file like a tar maybe. This is good stuff.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Seriously I think if someone has a dead vdb I would suggest taking a blank se card and putting 2 copies of firmware on it ezviz and digital that sdcatd will most likely recover 90% of dead vdb

    Digitap is the unbranded uboot update file but the unattended recovery tools will want to make sure it’s branded

    This camera could be a ezviz camera which means it has a ezviz bootblock it’s looking for ezviz.dav firmware file to recover the bad firmware would be nice to know if other brands are looking for ezviz or a different file. They all might in fact look for the same file.

    Tap a button on your coomputee after the camera boots and see if you get a Linux prompt or a password prompt

    I highly doubt the code is missing. It most likely is just options set in the nvram or config file

    Yes changing a 1 to 0 or 0 to 1 but not the firmware. I seriously think it’s this config file he’s talking about

    Dont think so, it might be simpler. I won’t be home for a while so can’t jump into it like he did but great stuff has been found.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Apparently you missed the fact that it’s running Linux or something of the sort hence why it has uboot. If this is the case then it’s simpler then modifying firmware and is as simple as logging into the device and turning options on by hand.

    What comes across serial NOW that it works from power up THRU a ring of the bell and connecting to it via app!.... Once uboot is done and it boots into firmware does serial go quite.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    This is out of line and out of control! 1. the power kit is required for mechanical chimes. 2. these doorbells are not designed for lower then 12 volts you should be running 12v, it's designed for a normal doorbell transformer. not sure if 24v was ever considered spec for this doorbell. the...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    look at your app CLOSELY! if the device is internet facing and you can see the VDB from app while not home then you should see 3 hours of video recorded to the cloud. look in settings related to cloud storage also. 2 options from what I remember: Free 3 hours or paid subscription.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Let me be clear, this device along with many other IOT devices are designed for an idiot to install. you MUST isolate if you don't want it to phone home. most IOT devices can poke a hole right thru a firewall. let me try to elaborate. you can NOT just block people on the internet from the...

    yes your correct, the power spike is for the chime not the vdb. the box is mainly to hold and send constant clean power to the VDB to keep it powered up and help with the spike needed to set the chime off. And yes, they can go bad!

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    if you have the device internet facing then the video is stored on their servers even if you op out of cloud storage. they save 3 hours I think. no way to turn this off unless you put the device in a VLAN with NO access to internet
