Last minute information on SRICAM AP001. Just talk with manufacturer support. There is no way to turn led off, just blinking or steady on. Other way to change the activity led status is going to web cam settings, then PTZ setting , turn SIGNAL on or off. Again no way to turn green led completely off

2014-04-25T21:04:29.569+01:00

I've got this one outside under the porch for about for 3 years and still working, it was around 50$. Not really weatherproof though:
http://www.gadgetvictims.com/2011/09/es-ip611w-ip-camera.html

A real outdoor device with HD 720p, + PTZ + Wi-Fi can be found from 95$, like this one:

Can really comment on their quality as I didn't try any yet.

2014-04-25T20:35:30.736+01:00

Thank you. Last question. Are there some outdoor PTZ cameras as cheap as foscam/wanscams etc. ? Indoor models may reach price about 35USD. Outdoor models are about 100USD. It seems to be too much for a few more plastic.

I published an article with some apps (it's a bit outdated)
http://www.gadgetvictims.com/2009/08/third-party-software-for-foscam-ip.html

BlueIris or WebcamXP are good software. I personally use Surveillance Station from Synology. It's good but each camera license cost almost the price of an actual IP Camera.

Sricam is probably a OEM clone of some better known manufacturer, Maygion, Foscam, Wanscam,...
You'll have to try various brands and models when evaluating BlueIris, WebcamXP,...to find out which one works.

2014-04-25T14:46:35.773+01:00

You are right! Genius... can you recomend THE BEST surveilance DW for those types of cams? I tried iSpy but it has no free remote (over internet) access. I need correct PTZ, recording and remote access.

2014-04-25T11:37:12.191+01:00

It is almost certainly a SRICAM AP001: http://sricam.it/prodotti/ap001.html
They have that very same firmware version available for download on: http://sricam.it/download.html
and they use MEYE-000xxx-xxxxx as free P2P.

Hello,
I have Unidentified IP Camera, please help. It looks exactly like Foscam FI8908W BUT: there is a pin hole on the front (mic hole for better sound), there is NO I/O alarm input, and in settings there is: Device ID MEYE-008640-FFBFF, Device Firmware Version 26.2.0.125, Device Embeded Web UI Version 12.0.0.04

Does anybody knows what is this piece of HW?

Thanks!

Multi-vendor IP camera web interface authentication bypass

Vulnerability Note VU#265532: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/265532

Overview

The web interface firmware for Foscam and Wansview H.264 Hi3510/11/12 IP cameras contain an authentication bypass vulnerability. Other vendors that share the same base firmware image are also vulnerable.

Description

It has been reported that the web interface for IP cameras from several vendors including Foscam and Wansview contain an authentication bypass vulnerability. By visiting specific URLs, an attacker may be able to perform any function a normal user can. The admin password is also leaked through client side Javascript.

Impact

A remote unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute any command available to the web interface including full administrative functions.

Solution

We are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem. Please consider the following workaround.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have created a test tool to help determine if your H.264 camera brand and model are currently exposed to this, since there are many brands and models that are.

http://foscam.us/forum/h264-ip-camera-web-interface-authentication-bypass-test-tool-t3252.html

Note: I reported this issue.

This is why I took the time to create a tool to test for it being present. There maybe firmware released to fix this problem, if your camera is found to have it. New firmware is required to fix this issue.

if you have running a pc or server at home: STunnel is a good solution to add SSL to the IPCams.
www.stunnel.org

relevant section of config file:

;[https]
accept = 192.168.1.53:8443
connect = 192.168.1.95:80
TIMEOUTclose = 0

accept-IP is the IP of the pc, connect-IP is the IP of the cam.

2012-04-26T17:01:36.221+01:00

I don't think that changing the firmware will do anything to this. It looks like a range/antenna problem since it works beside the router (which also rules out a defective wifi module actually). Tempering with the firmware will only make thinks worse here.

2012-04-26T16:50:50.311+01:00

I opened the camera, but I didn't find nothing suspicious with antenna ... After that, I tried again. Nothing changed - Wifi worked, but just a meter from router. When I go a meter and half, it stops. I really don't have any more ideas. I also tried other antenna, but all the same.
Will changing the firmware (i read that it is dangerous procedure) helps?

2012-04-26T11:03:00.291+01:00

@alberto76
If you had to pierce a "warranty" sticker to unscrew the bottom, then it officially voids it. However, it is unlikely that you are willing to pay the shipping (often as high as the camera price) to return the camera, so just don't tell them and see how they (Dx or Reecam) can help. Maybe the Wifi card is dead and could be replaced somehow...

2012-04-26T09:36:18.603+01:00

In my case the cable is connected to Antenna. I'm pushing with the manufacturer (reecam: www.netwave.cn) about firmware confirmations and also opening a ticket with DX.
I already opened the bottom. Do you think I breached the warranty?
I also tried with low channels number in the router.
Maybe I'd try to downgrade the firmare and reset completely the cam.

It is sad that WIFI is not working since apart from this I think is a good product.

2012-04-25T09:48:42.290+01:00

@Iztok Grilc
You will just need to unscrew the bottom plate (you have to punch through the warranty seal but you wouldn't return it for repair anyway) and remove it.
It will then be quite easy to follow the wire from the PCB to the antenna connector and check if it's loose or damaged.

2012-04-25T06:43:33.560+01:00

Hello - bubbah and the others.

I bought an IP camera from Dealextreme - it looks like https://www.dealextreme.com/p/standalone-ip-wireless-wifi-lan-camera-with-night-vision-and-pan-tilt-motors-26358

But I have a problem with limited Wifi - it works just near router. And then I read on the bottom of your FAQ
http://www.gadgetvictims.com/2008/12/faq-for-ip-cameras.html

that this can be an antenna issue.
Is there any additional information how to repair this. I'm a noob ... so sorry.

2012-04-24T14:04:48.896+01:00

These ip cameras are all very similar in hardware and it is mostly the WebUI file that gives them a different look. The main hardware differences reside in the size of the flash memory, which is why some large firmware can brick a camera with small flash, and also the brand of the component, like the wifi module.
Depending this, in some case, the channels above 11 cannot be used. Maybe another thing for you to check.
Also, if your lucky enough to get a recent firmware directly from the manufacturer, that would be worth a try.
