A full firmware file is elusive.Ī few days of effort revealed a mechanism for replacing the script file in the upgrade file, which opens up the ability to run telnet/ftp and have root access.

I have obtained an incremental firmware update file (ipc_pack_patch_from_v4.161621.rtl8188fu_to_v5.), which consists of several parts: an lzma compressed patch to patch a tar file, an executable, a script, and a CRC, plus a few numbers. More worrying is that the camera does talk to mipc servers, at least for firmware updates, but it sends a fair bit of encrypted data to the servers, so without convincing documentation or evidence, this data is not to be trusted.

The local webpage is mainly a javascript application, and as such is relatively easy to debug into in order to examine the protocols involved. It does have a local webpage which works with PC but not with mobile browsers. So before attaching it to my wireless network, I'm going to have to break into it to see what it's made of. The camera works with, however there is no information about the security of the camera, or what they may do with your data.

It's Grain 8136s based with ethernet, wifi, USB OTG and SD card, with pan and tilt, dubbed a 'Cloud Camera'. Mine was branded 'OnvianTech 1080P Wi-Fi IP Security Camera', but also known as 'Pannovo 826-x', 'FUJIKAM CCTV Security 1080P 2.0MP WiFi IPCamera'. Depending upon interest, I'll publish more. If you have an interest in this or a similar camera (one which uses add to the issue I've raised. This repo is about an IP camera I just bought on Amazon for £29.99 delivered.
