    Buyer Beware: Fake Optical Zoom Modules

    Nice view you've got there! Glad you've got it working now. As far as the 30x goes, as long as the physical viewing angle is the same at full zoom, then I would not worry too much about the number it displays as these numbers appear to have little meaning. Mine first said 72x at full zoom, then...

    Buyer Beware: Fake Optical Zoom Modules

    Did you replace the "display.xml" file in the AJTools installation directory with the one included in the download link? Otherwise, the digital zoom setting is hidden by default. That new display.xml file contains the code "<IDS_DZOOM_MULTIPLE_SET display="1" />" which allows the digital zoom...

    Buyer Beware: Fake Optical Zoom Modules

    http://www.yucvision.com/upload/file/How%20to%20set%20digital%20zoom.zip This helped me. Basically, on the AJDevTools you double click the camera to show the video. Then right-click on the video, go to the zoom and set it to "1"...That made mine stop at 37x... I've actually upgraded the lens...

    Serial Connection to Module

    Unfortunately, still no luck for me. I do start getting readable information about the camera using these pins (though with junk characters in between)...But when holding enter on boot up, it's asking for login and password EDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD@@▒▒▒▒▒▒%DDDDDDDDD...

    Serial Connection to Module

    It was enabled by default for me. On CN2, 3 and 4 are connected to the P/T unit, 5 is ground and 6 is 12v power......And then the LAN cables on CN1 On the web browser inferface, you can go to "configuration" at the top...Then "PTZ" tab on the left, then "PTZ Configuration" to confirm it's the...

    Buyer Beware: Fake Optical Zoom Modules

    That's odd. Have you noticed any other changes? I just used binwalk to extract what files from the firmware that I could and have yet to find anything different. I've found a number of edits I could make to improve the cam if I had either 1. A way of repacking the firmware...or 2. Some way of...

    Buyer Beware: Fake Optical Zoom Modules

    Interesting! looks like a 30x/300 and a 36x/360 version. I downloaded these but looks like they're password protected now. I just sent an email to the guy that sent me the last firmware asking for this password. Will let you know if I get a response. I'm hoping they have (or will) fix the 3d...

    Buyer Beware: Fake Optical Zoom Modules

    Does it still have the 10X digital zoom?

    Buyer Beware: Fake Optical Zoom Modules

    Very welcome. Good to know it works! Are you able to confirm that no zoom has been lost? That is, your current 36x is equal to 72x before as far as what's in view? My biggest concern on upgrading was if the hack was somewhere outside of what the firmware updates and you end up cutting your...

    Buyer Beware: Fake Optical Zoom Modules

    If you're still in the dispute time range, you should file one. They were willing to give me a $35 discount to keep mine. For the firmware, I'm not exactly sure. I reached out to a company "Esunstar" that sells a 36x version of this cam and they sent me the attached firmware, but I've been too...

    Find Temperature and Voltage with Telnet

    For generic IP cams that have telnet access, are there any standard or common ways to view current temperatures and/or voltage levels through telnet? This info is given in the on screen display, but not sure where it's pulling the info from. Any tips on where I may find that info?

    Serial Connection to Module

    Also, in case anyone wants to see what I'm working with, I've attached the firmware. The first is the original .bin file...Second file is a .zip of the files that were extracted from this .bin using binwalk (a program like 7z will let you click on the squashfs to view all the linux directories...

    Serial Connection to Module

    How would I be able to tell if they're salted or not? A web search gave me a forum post stating that MD5crypt was formatted $1$Salt$Checksum So if that's the case, in my code: " root:$1$yFuJ6yns$33Bk0I91Ji0QMujkR/DPi1:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh " blue part would be salt and the red part would be...

    Serial Connection to Module

    Update: While I still haven't gotten the serial connection to work, I was able to binwalk a firmware copy and in the /etc folder is a file "passwd_sys" that has this root hash root:$1$yFuJ6yns$33Bk0I91Ji0QMujkR/DPi1:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh bin:*:1:1:bin:/bin: daemon:*:2:2:daemon:/usr/sbin...

    Serial Connection to Module

    Also, for the record, I did a loopback test on my USB adapter and it properly echos what I type, so I'm assuming there's no problem with it. Did a port scan and confirmed that port 23 Telnet is open, but no known telnet passwords seem to work. Was hoping the UART connection would let me dump the...

    Serial Connection to Module

    Yeah, unfortuantely still a stream of unreadable characters. Attached are some pictures of the top, side and bottom of the SoC board. I've labeled what I know.

    Serial Connection to Module

    Well, I think I found that board...Unfortunately, it's the same board whose ports are sticking out the top of the unit that I've been using. I found one other place on the back of the board that I believe to be a UART but I get the same kind of output that I've been getting:

    Serial Connection to Module

    I've got the TX goes to RX and RX to TX down. Bigger issues for me is 1. Finding the ports, 2. Actually figuring a way to connect wire to these 1.25mm pitch pins that I almost need a microscope to even see. and 3. Interrupting the boot loader where I can get a usable command prompt The board...

    Serial Connection to Module

    True! I stick with Hikvision for my serious cameras. This is just a cheap module for me to play with and practice programming, creating custom firmware, etc. There's lots of fun stuff I can do with these cheap modules once I gain access to the internal flash. This one has proven to be extra...

    Serial Connection to Module

    CH340G : https://www.ebay.com/itm/382643159433 That's the USB adapter I'm using. On the software side, I've tried Putty and also HTerm (which can display it in either ASCII, HEX, DEC, or BIN) So it sounds like my best bet would be to search for another UART port on another circuit board...

    Serial Connection to Module

    Forgive my ignorance here, but I've got these diagrams for a module I have. I'm trying to dump a copy of the internal Linux and make backup copies of the MTD files. I've tried to Telnet but cannot seem to crack the password. So I'm attempting to try doing it with a serial connection (USB to...

    Buyer Beware: Fake Optical Zoom Modules

    Hey guys, these fakes are floating around on Aliexpress. They come as either a stand-alone module, a module on pan-tilt bracket or pre-installed in a speed dome. They claim to be 60x optical (3.5 - 210mm lens) plus 10x digital....In reality, I believe the optical is only a 36x ( 3.5 - 126mm...

    Anjvision Telnet

    So I'm playing around with one of these newer Anjvision modules and wondering if anyone knows the latest Telnet password (V3.2.0.3 build 2022-10-08 firmware)? I'm getting a terminal login page on port 23, but trying "root" and the old password "cat1029" tells me that it's an incorrect password...
