I didn't see that.. Anyway, i installed tinyCAM, put on the file, app then warns me "ESCAM already exist" so file's not loaded (fully..) And then, to connect your cam, how do you proceed? I'm talking to the ESCAM support by mail, very slow but got something interesting :

They told me to go to ipadress/setddns.htm, there you'll find server, port, account & pass settings : server is set to "user2.ipcam.so" while it should be "user.ipcam.so" / So first, you have to change that. Notice account/pass aren't same as for the web interface.

When you type user.ipcam.so (of course user is different for everyone.. just in case!), you're supposed to end up on an interface that'll ask you for the former login info. That's what the screenshot i got shows. Problem is, i'm redirect the stock web interface.. Hope to get more info soon.

I'm the developer of tinyCam Monitor app. The latest version already has ESCAM support. I took the changes from the xml file used here with some minor changes (e.g. RTSP feed). No need to import this file anymore.

If you still want to add ESCAM camera via custom_vendors.xml, you need to change vendor name in the file to ESCAM2 or whatever (not ESCAM used by the app internally).

1-w audio should work via RTSP. Let me know if it works.

Audio is available in tinyCam Monitor PRO

I just got the camera from DX, spent some time to set it up for web browser access outside own network, and the last to be tested was the WiFi... which did not work. It is a bit different than what you are experience: I find all access points around, including my router, I add the passkey, unplug the cable and let it reboot. Unfortunately, the camera is not connecting to the WiFi. When plugged back and going to wifi settings, I see that the camera "remembers" the passkey, and the access point, but after unplug+reboot, is not connecting (not accessible and not showing in the router list). I have also tried changing the WIFi security to open, and same issue (so it is not related to security type).

I have reset it, same issue. :mad:

Do I miss something? or it is a fault? could it be a router setting? (even though any other device can connect with no problems).
[General Accessories] JoeBk:
have you managed to make it work? I thought the same as you when I first installed it... it took me a few hours of frustration and different software installation, before realizing how easy it was. Just assign it a static IP (reservation) in your DHCP + add the HTTP port (default = 81) to the port-forwarding in the router. It can be accessed with: //[your_WAN_IP]:81

Of course, after you make it work, if you have dynamic WAN IP, you will also need a DDNS server. But you can just test it without it, with the IP that is currently allocated by your IPS.

PS: The free DDNS server provided with the camera, is not working (Err: Could not connect to DDNS server). ...or I could not make it work, but did not bothered, as both my ASUS router and my Internet provider offers free DDNS server.
[General Accessories] JoeBk:
Update: I have tried again this morning to connect the WiFi, doing exactly the same steps as last night in WiFi setup, with camera is the same position (30 cm from the router)... and miraculously, now it connects to WiFi in 10-15 sec after power on! I also moved it in another room where I have the weakest WiFi signal (2 concrete walls of 20cm in between), and it works perfectly. :victory:

The only things that I have changed before it worked, is the static IP assigned by the router when in LAN (from 192...20 to 192...120), and the HTTP port from the default 81 (all these should have no connection with WiFi setup). It's strange, but I am very glad it happened! :cyclops:

Later update: thinking about it, it could have been my mistake. after WiFi reboot, I could not access the camera from the browser, and then looked in the router DHCP table. The camera was there, but somehow (because the browser access did not work), I have assumed that the table was not refreshed and I clicked the "Refresh" button. After this, the all the other devices started to appeared except the camera, so I assumed it is not workink. As the cam was a bit slower than other devices, it did not appear, and I was not patient enough to wait... but hit the Refresh button again several times :)

As from the review pov: the image quality is above other dx cameras (even more expensive), however, the 720p resolution is not native but scaled from around 480p. Again, still very good compared with my brother's DX Cam (Ontop RT8028-HD - more expensive) that I would say it's a max 360p scaled to 720p.
[General Accessories] DL8698:
You won't Believe how rugged this camera is!

My camera is normally mounted on a mini tripod on a upstairs window ledge. Recently I decided to shorten the tripod legs to minimum length cos I thought the camera was a bit precarious mounted so high up.

Tonight I decided to reposition the camera somewhere else, so I pulled out the power connector. To my horror the camera together with the tripod toppled forward right out of my window!. The whole shebang landed on the floor one storey down, with a loud bang. I was kicking myself for not noticing that by shortening the tripod legs I had reduced the footprint of the tripod and effectively caused the CG of the camera to be outside of the tripod footprint. The only thing holding it back was the power cable, so when I pulled it out.....

BUT! you won't believe this, the camera was still intact and still works. Only damage was the drive for the vertical movement had disengaged, and when I opened the unit to reseat the vertical drive, I found the nylon white plate for horizontal movement had a crack. Fixed the crack with super glue, put everything back together and now it's good as new.

Incredible!

Hi Guys, I just purchased one of these from DX. Seems to be working well enough, I have done some digging around.

So my camera detected as APKLINK-HI3518E in TinyCam Pro.

I found the manufacturer of the ARM processor is HiSilicon Technologies Co.,Ltd, and they make the HI3518 chipset, although I couldn't find the info on the E revision.

http://support.hisilicon.com/suppor...tByKeyword?mid=PRODUCT_SUPPORT&keyword=Hi3518

I believe it's also using a 1/4" Omnivision OV9712-1D CMOS sensor.

http://www.ovt.com/products/sensor.php?id=29

People can find an SDK and toolchain by searching Google for:3518 – Hi3518_SDK_V1.0.7.0.tgz

And various other interesting websites that have attempted to hack various versions of the chipset to tinker and improve.

https://acassis.wordpress.com/2014/05/25/boot-log-for-a-cheap-hi3518-chinese-ip-camera/

The ESCAM website currently has a newer version of the ESCAM Eye.apk (version 2.0) compared to the Playstore (version 1.0) that is apparently Lollipop friendly..

http://www.escam.cn/en/download.html

I have downloaded it, and have run it over virustotal and it's clean.

https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/...bd3c7e317c272c0a660e8152/analysis/1422433679/

I haven't had a chance to do much else yet...

Thanks for the information and useful post, I will also have a look..

Getting to the streams

Noticed this thread and I've got this camera, so in case anyone is interested in getting to the streams using a raspberry pi with motion or with ispy or a similar program, these two have worked for me:

h t t p://192.168.1.45:81/videostream.cgi?loginuse=admin&loginpas=888888

and

h t t p://192.168.1.45:81/snapshot.cgi?user=admin&pwd=888888&count=0

Obviously adjust your IP, username, password etc...

The raspberry pi although can connect and get some info DOESN'T CURRENLTY WORK FOR ME and has an error:

[1] netcam image height (360) is not modulo 16

Which I believe is related to the height not being a multiple of 16 and I think this issue is fixed in motion version 3.2.12-3 but I can't be sure as I can't get it onto my Pi at the moment.

Apart from that something like ispy works as well.

[General Accessories] NandoHiller:
Hello Vectron,

my 'ESCAM Pearl QF100 IP camera' I bought at coolicool.com. I was dissatisfied because of the low resolution (VGA 640x360). With Direct-X I could adjust HD 1280x720.

@ all

Images will upload to FTP 'Upload Interval (Seconds)' not when motion is detected. Does it work for anyone?

The uploaded images are low resolution (VGA 640x360). Has anyone to get it in higher resolution?

I've tried different firmware.

was installed:

Firmware version 0.50.64.42

Web UI version CH50.0.1.13

tested newer firmware (not better):

Firmware version CH-sys-62.50.64.50

Web UI version CH-app-CH50.0.1.22_VSTARCAM

found here:

old cd.gocam.so/FM/ANKJA/firmware.txt

cd.gocam.so/FM/vstarcam/firmware.txt

cd.gocam.so/FM/system/firmware.txt

Update via browser (Maintenance).

Tests with different firmware leads to boot loops (CH-sys-103.51.64.11.bin, CH-sys-48.51.64.16.bin). Correction was possible with 'ESCAM Finder.exe' (QF100 CD, execute upgrade 11s after click).

Can anyone help me? Do anyone have the right firmware?

best regards,

Nando
[General Accessories] d0gi:
There seems to be an updated firmware available at the Escam site. VERY slow download for me at least, but I'll try it as soon as it's done downloading. Funny thing, I bought my first QF100 a few months ago and it has a firmware version starting with 0, now I bought another and the firmware version starts with 112 and the camera looks a bit different (lan port is on the other side, wifi antenna not the same etc) but it should be the same product. The first camera has some text and date/time imprinted on the image whilst the second doesn't.

e: After upgrading firmware is version 112.50.64.53 and everything seems to be working fine, also time and date disappeared from the live video.
[General Accessories] wassam:
Weird how they update the product without changing the model or revision number.

Do you like the firmware you're on?

The one I have works ok so I didn't upgrade. If you look at my screenshot the version it tells me available is CH50.0.1.12 but I am already on CH50.0.1.13. The other bugs I notice are with the interface on the IOS settings screen. Some of the options appear blank when trying to change them.
[General Accessories] d0gi:
It's certainly much better than the "original". I've always had UI version CH50.0.1.13 on both cameras and not going to try the downgrade, it's probably a bug with the updating system. But device firmware 112.50.64.53 I can recommend, no problems at all.
[General Accessories] Olphi:
Issues...

Hi all,

I just updated my QF100 with the latest softwares but I a have the same issues than before:

- No possible to send email (but the same settings work perfectly with my other IPCam FOSCAM)

- Some random reset each day or 2 days. In fact it's not a complete reset but only the camera "head" which comes back to the initial position.

Other topic: how do you read SD videos with another software than camera soft ? The player delivered on CD is not working (only sound, black screen)

Thanks a lot for your answers.
[General Accessories] kosmarnik:
Can you share what are the outdoor models if you got the chance to review them or have information from other sources?

Going by the youtube reviews, QD500 seems to be compatible with the app, but it would be nice to get a confirmation before buying.

What about QD300? Seems a prefect fit for my purpose, but seems as the software is bad and there are no real reviews.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Sorry, they never got back to me regarding outdoor cameras :(
[General Accessories] kosmarnik:
Oh well.

Could you take a glance at the youtube videos of qd500 and qd300 to check if it's the same app as the qf100?
[General Accessories] wreto:
How satisfied are you with the motion detection? Mine seems to either nor react to anything or the slightest movement of ANY size.

I have it aimed out a windows and it either doesn't react to cars approaching or it records all the time, witch I'm guessing is due to leafs moving on one of the trees.

With lots of fiddling around I have finally managed to setup things I originally wanted:

Firmware version 0.50.64.42

- Remote use for Android / RTSP over TCP 720p resolution

- Toggle alarm & send email

What doesn't work:

- DDNS

- HD video through browser (except IE)

- Sounds / Mic

I don't have any problem to have email alert, however the capture is not 720p, it's very small.. No way to change that?

Also, does anyone here knows what is the difference between Alert Motion/Trigger/Vox (this in in the email alert header)?

PS: Forgot to ask... How is the SD card supposed to be formated/which folder should it contain. Don't wanna delete all now..

Ok so new issue.. After few hours/days, i can't connect to the cam, neither video stream nor admin page. However the router shows the cam as connected and reachable.. What could cause this? Is it defective? Any suggestion on which newer/better (but not different in price, not much..) to buy from china direct?
[General Accessories] Zed42:
I do own Synology and record video from 3 Escam cameras - all of them Escam Peashooter QD520.

Took some tries and looking around the net to figure the configuration but in the end it is quite straightforward - the trick is:

While not changing such setting on the IP Cam itself (it stays default from this perspective) you need to change port on Synology Surveillance Station to 8899.

[General Accessories] d0gi:
Has anyone figured out how the automatic port forward thingy works? I mean the one that uses the camera's UID. I believe it does have something to do with upnp but also something else, maybe a server to which the Eye app and the cameras connect? I'm asking this because it seems my current router isn't compatible with the camera's upnp and I'd like to configure ports manually. Shouldn't be too hard to have a look at this myself, but I'm just curious if someone has already done it.
[General Accessories] Ynk84:
I don't have the webinterface in front of me, but when logging in on http :// (your ip) /admin.htm you should be able to sync the time/date with your PC. The same is possible in the app Escam eye or Pnp cam (through Setting - Time Settings)

[General Accessories] DL8698:
Hi, need some help.

I have used a QF100 for a few years. Using ESCAM CENTER I can view the camera output. It has the time and date in white at the lower right corner. Recordings from this camera also show the same time and date.

I just added a second QF100, and it works as normal. However, I cannot see the same time and date at the lower right corner, as I can with my first camera. The recordings from this second camera also do not show any time and date, which obviously is not much use as I cannot identify when an event on the recording occurred.

I tried removing and adding both cameras, reinstalled the ESCAM CENTER software. Gone through every single setting I can find in ESCAM CENTER. Still, only the first camera shows the white time and date at the lower right corner.

How do I get the second camera to show, and record, the time and date also?

Any advice is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE:

I have found the answer.

Enter http://192.168.1.xxx:81/admin.htm in your browser address box (xxx=your cam wifi address)

You should see "IP CAMERA OPTIONS"

Go to "PTZ SETTINGS" , check the box for OSD.

That solves the problem. This option is not present on my old camera.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirplzcalmdown:
I tried going on Reddit, but they never answered my question so I thought you guys could help me out.

So, I just got my tablet today, and this was my second time ever flashing anything. I tried to flash it via Odin. Didn't work. Ended up getting stuck on the download screen on the tablet and the program wasn't really doing anything on my computer, so I figured it froze and I disconnected the tablet from the computer. I rebooted the tablet. It ended up booting into the recovery screen. It says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies, and try again." So I figured I would try it. I downloaded Kies 3, and connected the device. No success. Said the device isn't supported in Kies 3. So I downloaded just regular Kies, and connected the tablet. It connects and disconnects about 3 times and then it will attempt to make a connection forever with no success. I just don't know what to do and need help. I can kik, skype, message you, whatever will help me unbrick this stupid tablet. lol. Also, I can't go into download mode, so I can't stockrom it I don't think :(

Could you guys help me out? It'd be much appreciated. Thank you.

PS: I can't even ****ing get Odin to even recognize that the device is even there.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelphinusMinor:
Try this and get back to us.

While booted and while it's in the bootloop hold volume up, home and power until it turns off. DO NOT let those buttons go when this happens. Keep holding them all until the first splash screen(Tab 4 or whatever it says) appears again. As soon as you see that, let go of the power button while continuing to hold vol up and home.

A second or two after letting go of power you should see recovery mode. If you can get there, update the thread.

Also, you may need to reinstall the USB drivers. They are a real pain and when I have soft bricked my devices in past I found I had to install them over and over.

Good luck!

FYI, Kies is utter trash. I have never had success with it. Ever. Not even one single time with my Tab 3, Tab 4, S3 or Note 2.

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

BTW, I suppose I should be telling you how to get into download mode. It would be easier for you to just flash a stock rom for your device.

So while your tablet is in the bootloop repeat the above steps cept instead of holding VOL UP, you hold VOL DOWN and do everything else the same.

Hopefully you will be prompted to hit volume up to get into download mode. If so, you should be set.

At that point you would get open Odin and flash the stock firmware for your device.

Remember you may need to reinstall the USB drivers a few times and this important, while installing them make sure your tablet is NOT plugged in. When they are done installing, then you plug your device in.

I hope I haven't confused you. =-}
