5 months ago @echopulse1011 a quick google search shows these are battery powered devices. Those usually don't run linux, although there are some devices that have a linux that boots up when it detects motion, then sleeps after recording.
Most of the stuff we have here are for the linux devices and they need to be 'awake' the entire time so they are ready for you to stream RTSP when you need/want it.
Options for modding non-linux devices are usually limited to dumping the flash with a hardware programmer, decompiling the main application, making any changes directly in the code, packaging the flash back together and re-flashing it. Not only this is all very camera-specific it requires a lot of time and specific knowledge. Finally it also requires the right tools (heat gun, flash programmer) to read/write the flash which can be a challenge on itself (and can damage the board beyond repair if you are not experienced with the process).
If you want to try as a challenge and learning opportunity, that's great! Be expect that you may break something in the process and you have to accept it as earned experience.
If you don't want to break your devices or don't have the time to learn/deal with it, my recommendation is to sell what you have and buy something around the same price that has the features you want straight out of the box.
Hi everyone,
I am a newbie here and looking for a way to access any open ports on my IP cameras. I have an IeGeek ZS-GX3S (firmware 3.4.x.x) and a Zumimall F5 (firmware 3.4.x.x). Using nmap, there are no open ports on the devices. I tried the ppsfactorytool.txt as previously explained to gain more access, but it didn't work. Does this method work with newer firmware versions, or do you have any other guidance for me? Is there any way to access a useful port like RTSP?
Thank you!
