Hi,

I have 2 ACESEE AVTN40H200 ip cameras that were mounted in 2 different locations that had "died" within 2 days of each other. The only common thing they had was that they shared the same public ip subnet.

After plugging them in:

- The ethernet port speed negotiates to 100Mbit/s (OK)
- Using the "Search" function to discover an ip camera in HeroSpeed causes a few UDP broadcasts with a destination port 6789. However in WireShark I see no packet replies from the ip camera.
In fact there's no traffic in WireShark with the mac address of the ip camera at all. (BAD)
- The ip camera's infrared LEDs react to movement in front of the lens. (OK)

I took a camera apart to try the PCB reset button as shown here:

But it didn't help.

Is there any way to reflash the ip camera's firmware?

What I am afraid is that there might have been a security hole, and the ip cameras were bricked remotely since they were accessible from the internet.

Thanks.
