Does someone know how to unbrick an AVTECH ip cam?

Everything is in the title!....

I found out an article on how to unbrick a AVTECH DVR... but nothing on AVTECH cam.

The procedure must be similar...

Connect up to the serial console to figure out what the problem, therefore the solution, is.
It's a standard feature on embedded Linux devices.

thanks for the info. is the one that you recommanded "PL2303HX-based serial TTL to USB convertor" would fit most of current cams?

Certainly that's worked well for me on quite a variety of devices - though I have fried a couple of them figuring out which pads/connectors are the serial console.
That's the hard bit.
