Does anybody know how to recognize which camera I have? As usual, its a cheap chinese POS with no brand name on it. The blue box says "ALL-IN-ONE IP/Network Camera". The web gui lists "Software Version: 0.0.0.2" and "Web Version: 0.0.0.0.3" which I suspect is BS. The internal DDNS is "nwsvr1.com".
The camera is running Linux and accepts a telnet connection with no authorization. It lets me look at the file structure, but not at any files themselves. I can do stuff like "cp" (copy) and "rm" (delete) on files, but "cat" (type) is missing. There is a "type" command in the mini-busybox shell, but it doesn't seem to do much and wont type the file on the screen. I tried "cp file con" and also "con:" and "con$" but none of that worked. It just created a file called "con", etc.
When I first telnet in, the current directory is "/tmp/eye".
There is also an FTP server which also works, but the regular admin password does not work so I can't get in right now.
There was a little CD that came with the camera and on it there were instructions that called it a B1 camera 520 or 521. I think that is some sort of generic name.
The web system primarily operates with XML files and not CGI as most here seem to do. Entering "
http://ip:port/videoinfo.xml" in firefox brings up:
<Result>
<Success>1</Success>
<CanConfig>1</CanConfig>
<Width>640</Width>
<Height>480</Height>
<Freq>0</Freq>
<HMirror>0</HMirror>
<VMirror>0</VMirror>
<Caps Mirror="0" LightMode="0"/>
</Result>
So basically anything that ends in ".xml" invokes an internal CGI script that handles access to the specified XML file.
In one of the web pages they have a section that suggests that the chip may be MIPS and not ARM. There is a function that says "if (Board=="MIPS") ...", but I can't find anything that actually calls that function.
SO has anyone seen one like this? Is it compatible with openipcam?
