try to enable rtsp with ceshi.ini file in sd card root: V380 Pro Activate ONVIF/RTSP · GitHub

transfer the firmware? no, they’d have been developed by different SDKs, each from their respective companies. Yours looks like it has an Ankya MCU.

So there’s at least Ankya, Beken BK7252, Xradiotech/Allwinner XF16, Taixin TXW817-810, Taixin TXW806-840. Who knows how many others.

no sign of RTSP or any open ports doing this on my TXW817

@Tamadite You’ve probably got it by now but if still wanted I can make available somewhere

thanks… I got it already.

For a couple of months ago I did a new try. Got the whole environment up&running again and just when I was to try a second time I just drop it. I haven’t done that much for a while now.
By the way, my practical approach to sniffing the data traffic is by creating a separated environment with a separate router/wifi: router, phone, camera and sniffer host. By doing so I avoid all sort of traffic noise as well as easily controlling and monitoring the traffic between the Internet (WAN) and the devices.

yes indeed. I copied the certmitm/wireshark/mitmrouter setup in the Matt Brown Youtube linked above.

Basically what is happening with AI these days is that context sizes of these chat bots are getting so large that could just feed the entire beken sdk to AI as context and then have it do the hard work of reverse engineering for you. There are multiple agents online that can for instance decode hex streams and analyze it for you. I only have one rtx3060 12gb with ollama but even with single card I can see how this could work.

Also the thing is there is a new kid on the block known as RV1103 which can use SC3336 camera module. RV1103 does not have wifi but you could very easily hook it to esp32-c3 to make the whole thing wireless. RV1103 + SC3336 + ESP32-C3 you are looking at a cost of 30 euro but this thing is wicked Cortex [email protected], NPU : 0.5TOPS you could do so much more with this kind of setup.

I just started exploring this topic. I do have the cameras for it, but how do I actually get the video stream? I have the Naxclow A9 camera, actually 2 different models of the camera, but Naxclow. I went to the github of intx82 to try get the camera video stream, I tried to see if my router supported DNS redirection, did not see any settings, I tried to change the DNS servers, but those options are greyed out in my routers settings, and also, intx suggested I just get a new router which has DNS options enabled, but since I dont pay for my router or don’t know how to bypass the locked DNS settings to get dnsmasq running, what do I do?

And also my routers model is Sagemcom Fast 5366 TN. Besides all of that, how do I get the camera video stream without having to connect to cameras AP, but from my network? Anything that could potentially get the video stream without having to configure the DNS settings from my routers config page? Only because I just don’t want to use the V720 app

Hi Guys!
Been reading this post with interest. We’re looking to develop a commercial product around an X5/X6/A9 camera. Would anyone be willing to write a simple Android and iOS app to control it? I know there’s been a lot of work done over on GitHub but it just needs wrapping all together into a basic app. It really is simple, I promise, just start and stop recording, no fancy motion detection or anything like that. Please get in touch if you would like to help.
Many thanks,

for what firmware? Naxclow or the other one. Will it have rtsp support? or onvif support, it is not good, I have TP-Link cameras and they are good. They can just disable the wifi to stop the cameras, but still, the camera back online. Just get real camera, TP-link, reolink, Xiaomi, just get those cameras, if you still want a9 because it’s cheap, just find a way to integrate to another app, hopefully this app supports rtsp protocol or any streaming protocol. Have you made progress on it, Im not going to develop it, but I wanna test the app.

On some Ysxlite cams ( Version R-XR_C10.08.52.64_01.80) the serial password is runtop1029

Camera x5
Kind. I have an x5 camera. Something like that. I asked for it by accident. Unsuccessful. Now there is a different name in the wifi list and cannot connect to this wifi name. Here is the name that is on the Wi-Fi list xxx089532yyyyy

do togo imeni bylo vse normal’no podklyuchalos’ s etim BATE659025OJFBS
before that name everything was fine connecting with this BATE659025OJFBS

Hi there! Could you please share info on how to actually connect to X5 WIFI camera using this software? It says to have pairing camera but if my understanding is correctly i have to connect to WIFI directly but there is a password on camera. So my question is: how actually use this software, could you please provide detailed info? Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Can I use the A9 to set it up so that it sends it to me at certain times of the day? Is the firmware suitable for that? Is there a version with solar panels? The price has gone up a little bit, but we can do these things.

Hi Apache 02 Aleksy, excuse me, could you upload a step-by-step video for beginners on how to use the Pi Zero W using the Beken Chip SPI Flasher BK7252UQN68 A9_B V1.3_220516.

How do you compile the BK7252 cam from your repository? Too have excluded area 0x11000, or which area should we write to the BK7252 chip?

Thanks for helping us all with the bk7252 camera :+1: and posting your code to test on our A9 cameras with the BK7252UQN68 chip. Congratulations!! :raised_hands:

391

AapoTahkola. your updated version of spi flasher: ft232spi.py code for BK7252UQN68 chip?

I saw that kuba2k2 implemented it for Ltchiptool for BK7231, now for BK7252 where should we write in which area do you recommend we should exclude 0x11000 as it affects the bootloader? As you mentioned, SPI flash bootloader had a write protection bit that had to be disabled. Thank you very much, I hope you can provide us with the link to your code, we will appreciate it very much, as will Apache02.

Excuse me bad english…Thank you very much!!

Hi all!
I created a custom component to work with my (noname PPPP+json based) camera. It works with key (0x69, 0x97, 0xcc, 0x19) (Prefix is DGOK)

It works with stock firmware using UDP-based (pppp) protocol using port 32108 for discovery.

It supports streaming, snapshots, ptz using actions, reboot button and light/ir switches.

The camera should be initially configured to join the network using original app to receive IP from your router.

Hey @devbis !
Thank you for putting this together!
I am new to this thread. Does your custom component not require any modification on the cameras?
I am getting a few different A9 and X5 to test in a simple pet project.

I will certainly report my findings once I get them and try your code.
