Crap, I just realized what he is trying to do. He is trying to mount an SMB or CIFS share on a windows host to the camera's file system. I don't know enough about these cameras to state whether they can mount a non NFS share. The command that I included above will work if he is trying to mount an NFS share being presented by a linux machine.
Camera bricked after region changer hack
- Thread starter klasipca
- Start date
Seems like a lot of confusion. You telnet into the camera at it's IP address, be it 192.0.0.64 or what you changed it to. Once you log in and at the command prompt for the camera, you can do a mount command to your PC where you created a Windows share, so say it's c:\mtdutils, you write clicked, you shared it. Then on the telnet prompt, you issue a mount command with the IP address of your PC, if your PC (not the camera) is 192.168.1.100, then mount -t cifs //192.168.1.100/mtdutils /mnt/nfs07 -o username=youruserid,password=yourpassword". The username and password is the username and password you log into your PC as.
OK, I misunderstood what azthig was trying to do. This is really over the heads of many of these users when they can't even explain what environment they are in. I was making some major assumptions on what he was trying to do based off the description "When I try to telnet the Windows share into the camera" I figured that the guy was trying to make a successful NFS mount from a camera to a share. Then he made mention of an NFS share but had CIFS listed with credentials and it was even more confusing.
I'm sorry I confused you guys, but my English is not my native language. Please excuse it. I followed networkcameracritic's instructions, which are very clear to me, but I'm getting this message "failed: Invalid argument" all the time. The camera is functional, but I cannot use it with iVMS42000 due to the Chinese language. I can telnet into the camera and I was successful to make it multilingual (from the same machine), but it is still not accepted by the iVMS and has the day of the week in Chinese. I tried to telnet from another machine and I'm getting same messages. It is a DS-2CD2332-I and I got it from Aliexpress and was delivered late December 2014.
If I check the dmesg command, I find this:
CIFS: Unknown mount option "my Windows-username"
CIFS: Unknown mount option "my Windows-password"
CIFS VFS: No username specified
Also, how do I know when the mount was successful? Your help is much appreciated.

A simple way to avoid struggling with the syntax to add a network mount is to use the camera web GUI to add a NAS destination in the 'NAS' tab of the 'Storage' menu under Advanced Configuration.
Select either NFS or SMB/CIFS depending on what file server / share you have available on your LAN.
Fill in the needed address, sharename and access credentials as needed.
Use the 'Test' button to validate your settings. This performs a temporary directory create / delete to assess the ability to write to the destination.
Save the settings.
It's NOT necessary to 'format / initiallise' the NAS destination under the 'storage management' tab.
When that's done, via Telnet or SSH you can inspect the mount point with the 'mount' command to see where the files will be located.
Strictly - the NFS syntax should have a few more options than the example shown earlier - but as it's only for temporary use, probably not a problem.

OK, here is a CIFS/SMB example:
On the face of it - the same as you have not used successfully.
This is a 2032-I with 5.2.0 firmware.

But - aztihg - your initial mount list result looks OK. Is this the one you did from the web GUI Storage NAS setting, with a good result from the 'Test' button?
Once you've done that, the job is done, you've mounted the network location successfully. No need for any more mount attempts at the command line.
You just have to check the mount list result to see where the device placed the mount point, in your first example, /mnt/nfs00

Yes, mount does not work in this root mode, just start the FTP deamon by entering ftpd & and then use an FTP tool to move files back and forth.

Actually, mounting the Windows share to be able to execute the components of mtdutils without copying them over is part of your original instructions - that's what's being followed here.
Thank you all for your help. Now I can connect to my camera through iVMS4200, no more issues with the mismatch language. I used the web interface method. Regards.

the instructions work when camera is not in root mode, when in root I couldn't mount it and just used ftp.

The mount point is only there if you actually put it there - either by using the 'mount' program with suitable parameters at the command line, or by using the web admin GUI to define a NAS storage destination.
It doesn't have to be called nfs07, it could actually be called anything.
How did you set up the mount point, and what does the 'mount' command show when you use it to list the mount points?
As an example from earlier in this thread:

The error suggests that the network destination does not exist or is not reachable.
Have you confirmed that the PC at 192.0.0.128 is reachable from the NVR? Can you ping it? What is the IP address of the NVR?
What's the model of the NVR? Looks like old firmware.
Presumably the NVR has USB ports. You could probably plug in a USB memory stick with a copy of mtdutils in a folder.
After you've plugged in the memory stick, use the 'mount' command to list where the mount point is.

Ip address of NVR is 192.0.0.64, both side network reachable can ping also i can telnet to NVR.
