General question about chinese ip camera module. Help, please!

[Villy_Villy]

There is a chinese ip camera (without documentation). I could get and change settings on the camera web-interface.
I have a task to develop software for this camera (needed own software with own user interface and full access to the hardware).
I have several questions:
a) How I can start develop for this camera? Where to begin?
b) I found buildroot, can i use it for develop? (needed full control, so may be i'll must create firmware for this camera).
c) Telnet is disabled, how I can to get access to modyfied hardware? May be USB/UART can to help me? How may understand where is USB/UART pins (module without circuit diagram).

Chip: Hisilicon 3518e, Image sensor: AR0130.

I hope, that you help to me, or bring me on the necessary thought.

Could be under the QC passed label.

First you'll have to get SDK for Hi3518E chipset, then you'll have to find which memory chipset/size is on board, then you'll have also to find what kind of "extras" this camera have (I/O pins, SDCard interface..) so you can access them with your own development.

What is displayed firmware version ?

I have a similar need for an ambarella camera SL255M with IMX124 sensor. Any place I can get or buy Ambarella linux firmware source?

WHy not

Why not ask Ambarella ? they also have a full Evalutaion Dev Kit that inlcude Linux Kernel and toolchain

Did not get any response.

Did not get any response.

YOu mean you already asked for Evaluation DevKit ?

 

[support@ezcamlive.com]

No. I will try that. Once I get the software working the way I want, how do I build a production camera? Anyone has any experience doing that?

I don't mind another board such as Hisilicon either.

 

[Dodutils]

Who will design/build the main board ?

 

[support@ezcamlive.com]

I don't know. Trying to figure that out. Texas Instruments has a few good evaluation kits.
