Questions and answers
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
### How to sign in into camera via SSH?
|
|
|
|
`ssh root@<camera_ip_address>`
|
|
|
|
There is no password by default.
|
|
|
|
### How to sign in into camera web UI?
|
|
|
|
Open http://<camera_ip_address>:85/ and sign in using default username _admin_ and default password _12345_.
|
|
You will be asked to change the password after successful login. __Please note, it will also change your ssh root password!__
|
|
|
|
### How to find information about the camera hardware and software?
|
|
|
|
Sign in on camera via `ssh` and run `ipctool`.
|
|
|
|
### I don't see ipctool on camera. Why?
|
|
|
|
You don't see it because initially it is not there, but there is a shell command of the same name. _(Since it's a shell command, it won't work from Web Console in web UI. Sign in to the camera via SSH and run the command in there.)_ When you run this command, the latest available version of `ipctool` utility gets downloaded into `/tmp/` directory and runs from there. Since the utility resides in `/tmp/`, it won't survive a reboot, thus won't take any useful space on the camera afterwards.
|
|
|
|
If you need to know what's in the command, search for `ipctool` in `/etc/profile` file.

### How to dump full firmware to an NFS share
|
|
|
|
This could work if you are lucky, you gained access into Linux shell
|
|
on stock firmware, and it does support NFS mounting:
|
|
```
|
|
fw=$(mktemp)
|
|
nfs=$(dirname $fw)/nfs
|
|
mount -t nfs -o tcp,nolock 192.168.1.123:/path/to/nfs/share $nfs
|
|
cat /dev/mtdblock? > $fw
|
|
mv $fw ${nfs}/firmware_full.bin
|
|
```
|
|
Make sure to use your own IP address and path to the NFS share!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How to find original MAC address in a firmware dump
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
strings dumpfile.bin | grep ^ethaddr
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### How to configure ssh session authorization by key
|
|
|
|
__On the camera__: Sign in into web UI on port 85 of your camera.
|
|
```
|
|
passwd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
__On the desktop__: Copy the public key to the camera by logging in with the password created above.
|
|
```
|
|
ssh-copy-id root@192.168.1.666
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
__On the camera__: Create a `.ssh` folder in the root user's home directory and copy the file with the authorized keystore into it.
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir ~/.ssh
|
|
cp /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys ~/.ssh/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
__On the desktop__: Open a new session to verify that the authorization is passed using the public key not requesting a password.
|
|
```
|
|
ssh root@192.168.1.666
|
|
```
|

### Majestic
|
|
|
|
#### How to get a memory dump for debugging?
|
|
Enable and configure Core Dump in the menu Majestic > Majestic Debugging.
|
|
|
|
#### Camera image has a pink tint
|
|
You need to specify the GPIO pins to control the infrared filter.
|
|
The settings for some cameras can be found in the [table](https://openipc.org/wiki/en/gpio-settings.html).
|
|
If your camera is not in the table, then you will need the [ipctool](https://github.com/OpenIPC/ipctool/releases/download/latest/ipctool) utility.
|
|
|
|
The OpenIPC firmware will automatically download the latest version of the utility to the /tmp directory when `ipctool` is invoked first time.
|
|
On native firmware, you will need to download the utility to the camera yourself using the tools available in the system: wget, curl, tftp...
|
|
For example, download the ipctool utility to TFTP server on the local network, then download it to the camera:
|
|
```
|
|
tftp -g -r ipctool -l /tmp/ipctool 192.168.1.1
|
|
chmod +x /tmp/ipctool
|
|
/tmp/ipctool
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
If the camera has internet access, you can try to mount a public NFS sharing and run the utility from it, without downloading to the camera:
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir -p /tmp/utils
|
|
mount -o nolock 95.217.179.189:/srv/ro /tmp/utils/
|
|
/tmp/utils/ipctool
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After the utility is downloaded to the camera, run the `ipctool gpio scan` command in the terminal and open-close the camera lens a couple of times with your palm.
|
|
Watch the output of ipctool to determine the pins responsible for controlling the IR filter curtain.
|
|
Enter the values obtained in the settings for the night mode Majestic. If the pink tint still persists, you may need to enable sensor signal inversion.
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to add the camera model and found GPIO values to the table!
|
|
|
|
#### Is it possible to display the data for setting the auto focus of lenses instead of the current sample_af in the standard /metrics?
|
|
No, this is a difficult algorithm, it does not have a sense to run it this way.
|
|
|
|
#### Copy files from Linux system to camera
|
|
Sometimes you need to transfer files to the camera. In addition to the above method using NFS (Network File System)
|
|
you can use the standard Linux scp command to copy files over an SSH connection:
|
|
```
|
|
scp ~/myfile root@192.168.1.65:/tmp/
|
|
```
|
|
This command will copy myfile from the home directory to the /tmp directory on the camera.
|
|
On recent Linux systems the following error may occur:
|
|
```
|
|
sh: /usr/libexec/sftp-server: not found
|
|
scp: Connection closed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add -O option in this case:
|
|
```
|
|
scp -O ~/myfile root@192.168.1.65:/tmp/
|
|
```
