Wow!!! This was completely unknown to me. Lucky enough, I had a USB to TTL device at home but never occurred me to connect the TTL input to a USB port.
Here you go the pinout:
CH340 TTL → Cam USB
- GND → GND (pin 5)
- Vcc → Vcc (pin 1)
- Rx → D+ (pin 3)
- Tx → D- (pin 2)
Then you open Putty and configure it for Serial. Set the corresponding COM port and set speed to 115200, 8 data bits, 1 stop bits, no parity, no flow control. That’s it!
This is what I get:
NOTE: The access point the camera connects to does not have Internet access.
