Hello,
long time ago I completely shot up my 10" VTH5241DW (Gen1) with a wrong firmware. A rescue via TFTP/serial was unsuccessful after long attempts.
Thereupon I got myself a new Winbond 25Q256 chip, flashed the latest FW and now had it replaced by someone who can solder :). So far so good...
I have not written that the internal WiFi of the cam is better than the signal of the TP-Link. I am happy to get so much input - and I will give the TP-Link a try.
The 1-1,5m is the distance between camera and frontdoor.
The „real“ accesspoint is behind 2 walls and the Wi-Fi signal at the camera is not very good at the moment.
However the idea is nice to check.
Many thanks to all for the great input. I have to check what I can do.
The idea with the WR802 sounds nice, however I am not sure if the WLAN is good enough without any antenna. Additionally I need a converter from 12v to 5V for the USB connector (I have only 12V).
The Wifi bridge (Vonets...
Hello,
I know that I should not use any wifi camera - however I need one to monitor the frontdoor of my parents home. I have only 12V and the distance between cam and door is only 1-1,5 m. So far so good.
In my flat I have several T5442 (1 x bought by Andy and on ebay (they were also from Andy))...
Hello,
I have several original HDW (T5442) and some Chinese HDW (4631C, 6238X) in place.
For my understanding the T5442 is using by night an IR light which is not visible by night, correct ?
Have no idea which IR light the 4631 is using.
However, can I add an additional IR light for the T5422...
AFAIK #1 lock is always the "internal lock", #2 will always use the external DEE.
I am using also the DEE and I have to use #2.
There is no way to change #1 with #2.
Hello, thanks for your reply.
Under /Storage/Sechedule I do have only "Recored, Snapshot, Holiday Schedule".
Before I have configured and added the NVR, I have used only ftp as a target to store after motion-detection.
00:00-06:00 - only record
06:00-22:00 - only snapshot
22:00-06:00 - only...
Hello,
I have several Dahua IPC connected to my Dahua NVR:
IPC:
1. IPC-T5442TM (2.840.15OG00D.0.R,2022-08-18)
2. IPC-HDW4631C-A (2.460.GP01.16.R,2017-09-04)
3. IPC-HDW6238X (2.600.0000.2.R,2017-03-18)
4. I51DF (V5.5.801 build 220214) (Annke C500 with HikVision FW)
IPC 2 and 3 are chinese...
Hello, I want to re-open this thread.
I have bought a Dahua IPC from Andy and now I am playing with the "output" *.jpeg and *.dav.
At the moment I am using no DVR recorder for my old ReoLink cameras. I transfer (via ftp) all *.jpg and *.mp4 from my Reolink to an Apache-Server and create an...
Not quite sure, but I think this chip is responsible for the network connection.
have checked the "uboot printenv" and there is
.....
"dw": "tftp 0x02000000 web-x.squashfs.img; flwrite",
"ethact": "ambarella mac",
"ethaddr": "BC:32:5A:1A:86:38",
"fileaddr": "2000000",
....
I do not really believe, that the FW will verify the MAC address.
However, I have checked a *.bin of a VTH. There is the MAC address in clear text. Probably, it is possible to edit it directly with a hex-editor.
Anyway, happy if you can share the *.bin.
You will find many threads that there is no way to update "cracked" IPC for the chinese market with new international firmware. BTW: Since 2017/2018 all FW are signed.
The only option you will have to:
install the chinese firmware or
dump the firmware from a working IPC and write it back to a...
You can dump also the firmware from the working IPC with a CH341A programmer (Winbond 25Q256).
I have broken a VTH and what I learned from a guy (different forum) that you can dump it the FW with this "flasher". Probably easier.
I think J6 on the first picture should be the UART.
Can you please tell me what chip it is in the middle of picture 3 ?
And also on the left side of picture 2 ?
Thanks.
I am pretty sure that this IPC has serial/UART. Maybe you have to use "soldering iron" to add the cable. Not really sure what adapter is needed, but I think USB-TTL would work. Hopefully someone can help.
However, frist step should be the TFTP trial - is much more easier.
Just my 2 cents :-).
For a dump you need a working IPC and a connection via serial connection and a reader. Not really easy from my point of view.
Probably you can flash via TFTP the CHN version - in this case the WebUI will be in chinese.
Have also 2 HDW4631C-A (2.46.GP01.16R. 2017-09-04) - but have not yet tried...
From my point of view, you can not install any new firmware on this IPC.
However, I think you can dump the FW from the working IPC and flash this file to the other.
Happy, if you can share the dump.
Hello,
a friend of mine has given me the following camera: IPC-HDW6238X-CA
I know that this camera is a chinese model, but I am still confusing about the naming rule. Have checked several pages, but no page gave me a clear "statement" which feature this camera has.
Yes, I am aware, that this...
