N745, so Pin 10, 11 are typically serial out.

Follow those pins from the cpu (the circle on the N745 indicates pin 1) and see where they go to.
Or use a multimeter in beep mode and buzz out those 2 pins with the socketed ones and see if they're connected anywhere.

@rickHarley, don't post irrelevant link spam, or you'll be banned.

@corvairbob.

Analog camera quality will be based on how many lines they have, usually indicated by TVL in the camera description. 
Higher numbers are better.

Look for a low angle lens if you need a wider angle view. For a small room, it will need to be very low angle!


To be honest, I don't think you'll get what you want with analog camera's, as the quality isn't going to be there, even with the best lighting available.

connect directly to the webui of the camera on its ip address?

Possibly seeing some failed hack attempts, as the settings file was getting erased blocking the site for a day or two.
Updated forum software to latest version, and will monitor for further issues.

Haven't seen an ingenic SoC in a while.  One of the few MIPS processors left in the market, everything else is ARM...
Have done a bit of work on their older stuff (JZ4755 SoC), good documentation, shame the company got bought out.

Boot shows

Make sure you have a valid root file system wherever it needs to be in flash.
Not much clue where it should be from this (although we do have locations for other stuff).

Suggest check in the uBoot to see if you can list partition locations, and work out where a FS ought to be.
You'll then need to make one, and copy over to the uBoot software to flash.

See what uBoot commands you have in order to check first.
Also suggest read up about uBoot.

Whats the SoC?

Some of the more modern SoC's can do recovery via USB boot.
If not, you'll need an SPI flasher or similar to rewrite the uboot directly onto the flash, eg with a BusPirate or dedicated device.

I downloaded the rar file, unpacked and took a cursory look at the bin file.

Looks like its possibly encrypted or compressed post header, as I don't see many FF's or 00 strings in the file after the initial header.
strings also doesn't show any readable text, which ties in with it being compressed or encrypted.

A scan with binwalk ( http://binwalk.googlecode.com ) to see if it finds any recognizable FS or compression in there shows nothing.

I'm guessing its probably encrypted with some custom method.

You'd need more firmware files to look at in order to proceed.

Updated forum software to 2.0.14, changed default template to the traditional default, as I need to work on the old template to make it compatible.

Added some boards for the XiaoMi camera range, as I have some, and will probably fiddle with them!
