WARNING - I DO NOT RECOMMEND PLAYING AROUND VIA TELNET LIKE I DID, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILTY IF SOMEONE BREAKS THEIR CAMERA. I'm not sure if any of what I did effected the change but I am not complaining. I then ran exec reboot and when it came back, 05.20 had loaded and my device managed to get a DHCP IP and showed up in IPCamTool. I couldn't break out of this and had to re-srart the telnet session.

I then looked at some of the other scripts in /sbin and accidently ran init. I found a file: /etc_ro/rcS which appears to be a script of somesort, one thing I noticed was that it referenced /tmp/eye which is where the FTP defaults to when you manually upload firmware. I have very very little knowledge of linux systems, but enough to do some damage. I logged on via telnet using PuTTY and started poking around in the filesystem. While there was a hole for a reset button at the bottom of my camera, it was in fact located at the back, below the SD card slot.Īs a precaution, once you recovered a functional camera via FTP, it would be wise to apply an normal update ( bin files) from the camera Control Panel > Update Software (app.bin) and Update WebPage (craym0nk Mar 19, 2013, 1:30:00 PM You can restore the factory setting by keeping the Reset button pressed for more than 5 seconds. If it came from another source, it may contain some customization (port, password. If it was restored from a personal backup, your settings and your admin password should be back. Upon rebooting, the IP Camera Tool should see your camera. Once the www and app folders have been fully restored, unplug the power from the device and re-plug it. The default FTP account can be MayGion with password or admin/admin, depending the versions. Then a backup made previously or obtained from someone else ( always prefer the first method!) can be uploaded to the camera. If there's no HTTP service running, generally the FTP service is still up.
