I wasn't able to unbrick my camera. It could be because I am using a trendnet camera with the HikVision firmware loaded. I was unable to ping 192.0.0.64 which is the default ip address on the HikVision cameras. I also tried 192.168.10.30 which is the default ip address on the Trendnet cameras.
That's what I was thinking about because I have bricked and recovered openwrt routers before. I don't have a Windows PC though. Could I just tftp with linux and push the firmware?
I word of warning. I tried doing this with a camera that had the 6.2 firmware and it seemed to have bricked my camera. I found the matching string for the 6.1 firmware and replaced it with what was on this post and gave the camera a reboot. Can't even ping the device anymore and the IR lights...
