Opened IE...Flashed it..

Rebooted.. Nice!... Rebooted again.. Less Nice.. Then after the 10th i knew it was dead. :'(

I'm not an expert on camera unbricking, but I believe most IP cams can be attached to a serial terminal where you can see what it is doing while booting up. That is likely the key to any future recovery attempts.

At least, if you aren't able to do anything with it, there may be someone else who is able.

Thank you for the idea.

Yeah I recently had to unbrick a Netgate 1100 (little pfsense router) via its serial terminal. Its firmware had become corrupted and it was boot looping. But those routers were designed for recovery via this method, and had USB ports and debugging utilities accessible via the terminal, and equally importantly, a written guide explaining how to reflash new firmware this way. IP cameras are not nearly so straightforward.

i'd hate to lose this camera.. Anything close to it would be £1000+ to replace most likely

HOPE! ??? I had this come up for a few seconds .. while it loops

is that why i cant find the camera ? cause instead of 192.0.0.64 is defaulted to 192.0.1.64 ???
