How to verify CMOS image sensor.

[CheckBaby123]

I bought a no-name IP Camera advertised as having a 1/2.7 CMOS image sensor.

How could I manually verify that through software;.

you cant

Login to the camera as root, and dump the boot log. The sensor name should be in the startup output, somewhere.

I tried to Telnet into the camera as "root" but I have no idea of what the password for login is? I tried no password, 1234, and root. The camera is a "Going" brand. Any Idea???

Login to the camera as root, and dump the boot log. The sensor name should be in the startup output, somewhere.

I got this far and don't know the commandline well enough to find the CMOS image sensor data. What next???

[nayr]

reboot it and run those commands asap

If it's giving a '$' prompt, you may need to use 'su' to get a '#' prompt.
Either way, try the command
cat /proc/kmsg
