Tenvis Camera

Hi!

Yes, I've read all your post and modified the tools to get them working with the lastest versions of the firmware.

Indeed I'm working with Foscam firmware, but my camera is from Tenvis and I'm waiting for the firmware, that is supposed to be very, very similar to Foscam firmware.

Thanks for all the keys. One question,

Have you loaded your own kernel with a modified camera binary?

Regards!

You tell me -

http://www.openipcam.com/forum/index.php/topic,41.0.html

Thanks for your quick reply...

mov   rX, #80   ; 0x50 'P' => where rX is any reg. it's in other parts of the code. But it seems to be the port (by the way, 'P' from port, I hope)

I can't try it because I don't know if loading the Foscam firmware in a Tenvis camera (it's exactly the same, I guess). Once I get tenvis firmware I'll try it.



Thanks for all your help!

No.

'P' because 0x50 (80 in decimal) is ascii character 'P'


Your hardware is exactly the same as ours (from looks), although if the firmware is what I downloaded, then it isn't.  Assuming I got the wrong file looks like you're buying from one of the 2nd tier factories, that does work for others, or bought the design from someone like Maygion.

So, its going to be stock stuff, and the same.
Most probably 2M ram etc.
You can take a photo of your board to confirm.

I'd need to see the USB, and the Flash to confirm, or a boot log.

Well, I guess to get a boot log I need hack the camera to get a serial conection. Need some free time!

I'll take a look / picture of the board...

Best regards!

Did a tad bit more searching and found them in Taobao.

腾威 - http://tengweishipin.taobao.com/
They're over in Longhua town (龙华镇) in Shenzhen.


You can now get one in orange, green or other cool colors.

Firmware file is here - http://www.tenvis.com/down.php?type=pub&downID=16
Thats just the romfs, and webui.

If you want I can take a look.

Actually, the link to the JPT3815 (model on Tenvis) firmware is down. I'm waiting a response from Tenvis to fix this...

Tomorrow I'll hack te camera to connect to PC and get the bootlog

Thanks!

I took a quick look, and amusingly they're being marginally sneakier in trying protect these things from prying eyes now.

Your binaries have this in as the start bytes in both files.

Code: [Select]

1F 8B 08 00
Any guess what the significance of that is?

Gzipped

GZ signature - 1f 8b 08 00

So..

Code: [Select]

mv html_MINI_20100414.bin html_MINI_20100414.bin.gz
mv ipcam_20100414.bin ipcam_20100414.bin.gz


gzip -d *

and voila.

We have our files... which are in tar format.

So tar -xzvf ipcam_20100414.bin
or tar -xzvf html_MINI_20100414.bin

would actually work better.

Your software is actually quite interesting.
Its definitely not from the same people.

Looks like its ARM9 based.

Assuming I grabbed the right firmware, you seem to have the ARM9 one that I was going to look at next.

Happy to see that they did it properly this time, and compiled things as modules.
Looks like it uses the Faraday gm8120 MP4 SoC.  Which is good, as I have looked at that before.


They're using
GCC: (GNU) 2.95.3

And from my quick look, its going to be MUCH easier working on those camera's for a good number of reasons!


A peek at the romfs side shows this:

Wow.  The more I look at your one, the more I appreciate it.

It uses the standard Pelco commands for PTZ.
http://www.commfront.com/RS232_Examples/CCTV/Pelco_D_Pelco_P_Examples_Tutorial.HTM


We have shared libraries.  The .so files are there.  The modules are there.
Its going to be so much easier working on those, all the bits are there and usable as is.

Its like heaven compared to the work I had to do on this one.

Damn... 

I'm sure if I started on that camera, I'd never even have bothered writing stuff for this one!
Not that the one we use is bad, but this is just so much easier to hack stuff into.

I also think I know why.  This looks like it was written by someone outside of China, and I think I know who also.  Have emailed her, and said hi to, as she's made it a little obvious (I think).

Good morning!

As I told you, the firmware you linked is and 'unnamed' firmware, and Tenvis has various camera models. I don't now if that firmware is compatible with the model I have (JPT3815 / JPT3815W).

Theses are the main chips that the board has:

-Nuvoton W90N745CDG (can't find datasheet)
-Winbond W9812G61H-6

I tried to take some pictures, but the strings are poorly visible

Best regards!

[EDIT] In example, the firmware says that there's a telnetd, but no open port.

The Nuvoton chip that the board has is this (w/ all numbers):
Nuvoton W90N745CDGARM (<= the same you have)
20188075-AA2
019TBFC

[EDIT2] In example, the firmware says that there's a telnetd, but no open port. => because the telnetd is not being lounched:

The box that you showed mentions PoE, which sounds like you've found the 'perfect' camera!!

I just wish dealextreme would stock these so I could get them here to experiment on

Anybody in the position to mail them at reasonable cost? 

Which BSP/kernel does this one use? Only found a pdf so far for this soc: http://www.grain-media.com/html/documentation/GM8120_GM-2007-10.pdf

Edit, the PoE seems to be not mentioned at all in the manual, so I doubt it actually has PoE ...

My Tenvis JPT3815 / JPT3815W has PoE indeed...

My Tenvis JPT3815 / JPT3815W has PoE indeed...

For real? And it uses the W90N745/NU90N745 Arm SoC?

All the other Foscam clones don't have PoE, there should very most likly be a chip assosciated with PoE, or the network controller should include this feature. Can you post pics of the PCB?

And more importantly, how much did it cost, and where did you get it!

Don't take box graphics for granted.  Chinese don't necessarily read english so well, and like to copy stuff like that for show.

They don't know what it means, but all the cool kids have it on their boxes, so why not 
I don't think this has PoE - Power over Ethernet.
I don't see that mentioned in their specs or docs.

I'll be talking to the factory tomorrow though, and will see what they offer.
Plan on ordering a sample of each type, and will see if this is suitable for me to use as the camera I will sell.
