WHOOHOO … YIPEE ….. I went ahead and rand the "run" commands (by mistake I ran dd but since file was not there it err'd out without causing any damage). Completed the run commands and did a reset and SUCCESS … the camera is once again working .... THANK YOU THANK YOU for all your help and...

Wow …. love the information, this is wonderful stuff … I was thinking last nite (I sometimes remember to do that even at my age!) about the system and comparing to what I know .. so u-boot is really like the old IPL deck that we used to feed into the card reader to get the system going. It told...

Okay.... I updated the camera IP and the serverip addresses and I can ping OUT from he camera to devices on the network but I CANNOT ping the camera from any other device on the network.... and if it does not "appear" on the network how will the TFTP be able to find it? Or di I just have to...

Tried the shift-8 and all I got was a row of *'s …. skips right past the ctrl-c option …… but thanks for the suggestion … hopefully there is a 'magic' key combo that will work ... Dave

Well … I've received my serial device and managed to get it connected via Putty to the camera and have a log of what is happening ... it gets as far as "Uncompressing Linux … done, booting the kernel." and then just sits there … I have tried everything I can think of to interrupt the loading...

I had 3 IP cams that I ordered from Amazon - no name knock offs it appears - can't seem to find any 'brand' name anywhere. I had two of them installed and working just great. Then I made the mistake of checking their status - lo and behold it mentioned that there was an 'update' available to...
