Hello I am looking for this firmware for my cam: IPCAM C6F0SoZ3N0PcL2 I am looking for the original firmware or higher than this: Software version: V19.1.14.16.28-20200813 / Webware version: V3.0.7.1 car I have a problem the camera movement commands are inverted, up, down, left, and right and in addition I can not do a factory reset, when I do it does not erase everything completely it keeps certain to give in memory ,thank you.
Hi Bidikman , i have been dealing with these camera for the last 7 years ( tru different vendor from Ebay and AliExpress ) and there has been an evolution with the product over the years.
First the basic optical ( video sensor ie Sony IMX 307-337 , SC 2235-3235 and other ) are the base for the resolution/price ( 720 -1080P-5-8 megapixel ) matched with the Main CHIP Processor ( HiSilicon 3516-3518 , than Goke GK7101,7102 and Now INGENIC T21-T31 ) has changed over the supply of the
CHIP market and drove the evolution of the Firmware.
The thing is ,they buy the ( Main module ) and add the rest ( PTZ mechanic / electronic ) and casing and in some case ( tweak the Firmware ) to make the things work together. ( small or big vendor )
All these Camera ( same basic hardware with minor difference ) run under different interface web and App. that they call ( their own APP or Brand ie. CAMHI, CamHI Pro, Danale, SV3C ( some without WEb are App.only ) and some with paid subcription Cloud image storage .
So yes the basic rule is if the 3 first number Matched it should be safe , safe mean no lost of feature and correction of the known bug.
But notice that the Version number can change over the upgraded of the Firmware example, V19.1.14.1.11 can change to V19.1.14.16.28 so under that system it is difficult to find-ask the Vendor for the Right Firmware.
And first to who do we ask for the Firmware ? ( because there no official General Brand Name nor Official Web site or support on the Internet , all vendor making their own Model Number and they do seam
not to know much about the product they sell.
First should be the Vendor ( to who you bought from ) but now in the Latest Camera-Firmware is within the
App. example i just got a Camera, the Vendor that i bought 40 camera from over the Last year say (
There is no update ) but from the CamHi App.
Configuration / System Parameter/ Last Item :There a
Check for UPDATE button and there was an UPDATE so you click ( install Update ) and it work without issue( Not loosing the configuration so the camera did come back on my network once it has rebooted ) correcting whatever was the bug . ( i did not notice anything not working before or bug before the Update ) but there is an increment in the Firmware Version number.
I got the same Physical camera ( visually the same that i can see without opening ) but from a different vendor and the ( Check for Update button ) do not appear in the CamHi or CamHi Pro App. , but lately from another App. Dericam version 1.2.28 That show from the Iphone AppStore when i did check under configuration it did say that there
was an Update ( Normally i did not used or checked on the Dericam App. because the App. do not carrie all the Feature that CamHi and CamHi Pro do support ) and this camera do not come from the Dericam Brand vendor. And the Firmware did change the last 2 set of number of the Version indicated within any of the App. that support those camera.
Another Thing.
When i received those camera i do check them ( to see if there no bug or Factory flaw error ) from my latest order ,so for the precised number you mention ie. C6F0SoZ3N0PcL2 reflect what is inside and describe the Hardware but there is not a really documented explanation ,so i try to make sense of it over the years and info i can gather and experiment tru all the model i did got from the different vendor.But did not Document yet because not 100% sure.
I tested the Pan and Tilt fonctionality ( click Left it turn Left )( Click right it turn Right ) and it does react as it should , so i leave the camera run for 24 hours.
Than run test the preset ( make sure it store and return to the set Preset ) after several power-off and reboot.( sorry if it look exhaustive )
All seam ok , so i am satisfy and try those ( code Preset ) that are not necessary all preset but an easy way to ( Turn on -off ) Feature as describe below or elsewere in this tread.( Humanoide tracking and other Feature )
But because it is not ( well documented ) you kind of go ( try and error ) to try to discover what work's or Do on that perticular model or Firmware version.
Suddenly the next morning ( i could not find what i did or when it did change ) but the Pan and Tilt Direction are reversed and no Reset or Upgraded/ re-install Firmware did not bring back the correct direction.
Asking to the vendor to ask their Technician / Programmer they did not belive me (so they even remote connect to test see the issue by themself ) and i did cause this problem to several of the tested cameras.
So i did stop trying experimenting but still to this day ( 3 month now ) did not find out how this problem occur. All other camera received from the same Order Model number do work as expected ( sold to customer and friend ).
For the one that ( got the Pan and Tilt Direction reversed ) i did open the case and ( inverted 2 wire of each of the motor ) witch do reversed the direction of the motor , thus correcting the Direction issue.( will document explain further if asked ).
I will keep experimenting and find the root cause on how to reproduce or fix the problem , because the issue did re-happened to some of my customer within a few day that i did sold the cameras.
So don t get me wrong ( i am fully satisfy of the Product as a Camera at that price point ) but the relation and support you get from the vendor is equally important.
Now as it does developped i do see-it going the right way ( improving ) Product side and App. side, this blog and support side does help to find answer.
I am often searching the net for more info on the IPCAM and even if i did come often to this Blog , it is only now months later while searching for C6F0SoZ3N0PcL2 that i fall to this thread.
Have a good day experimenting ( for your Factory Reset not working )are you using the App. or the button near the MicroSd Card , very often they ( mis-connected ) some wiring inside .
and one thing if it Fail to upgrade the Firmware try confirm that you did reset to Factory default value before Upgrading.
