that is an extremely expensive fuckup. honestly, take the $300 loss to get it fixed before you risk doing any more hardware damage. if it wasnt a multi-thousand-dollar camera id say keep trying at it but not in this case

have you ever seen the hardware_id=0x01 parameter before? i couldnt find any info on it and its one of the only ones that actually does anything lol

nothing on any of those either :( guess they patched everything we know about

nothing there either :( this device didnt have any init bootarg before this, could it be getting it from somewhere else?

no luck with that sadly, still stuck here heres everything from printenv i noticed most other devices have "root=/dev/ram" in there somewhere, is that needed? i also tried /bin/bash but got the same result

hello again! ive finally got the correct cables and have managed to get into the bootloader, i have got a HKVS # prompt and have added init=/bin/sh to my bootargs so they are now "console=ttyAMA0,115200 KRN_PRT=pri mac=00:00:23:34:45:66 bld_rev=937437 hardware_id=0x1 init=/bin/sh", however this...

ahh nice, i'll give that a go then, hopefully what im trying to change isnt too complicated. does anyone know / share the knowledge on how to actually extract the firmware keys? id give that a go too if i knew.

Ahh thats a shame, at least there is still hope though! thanks for trying it. I read a teardown on one and there is is a 4 pin serial port on the main board, however the teardown didnt go into much detail on it past reading the boot sequence. is it possible to get a shell through that port then...

Is it possible to use these methods to decrypt the firmware for some of hikvisions other products? I assume they all work similarly. recently some cheap thermal imagers have been showing up on ebay but we've not been able to get into the firmware to mod them...

Hes completely innocent, anyone with half a brain can see that. i hope he sues the shit out of every evil media corp that slandered him over the last year.

Their battery powered argus cameras are pretty good for specific situations, i use them to watch wildlife. If you are looking for any other situation then you can do better though.

Here is my main screen I changed "Data Rate Module" from default to alternative and that seems to have sped it up quite considerably, i have no idea what it does though. I only have one device so im not using airMAX, its just acting as a standard wifi AP.

Hello, i have a Dahua SD22204T-GN-W on a somewhat remote building (~50m) that i cannot run an Ethernet cable to. I have set up a Ubiquity NanoStation M2 in access point mode pointed at the camera from my home and am getting a very good signal from it, however when i connect to the camera using...
