[Solved] How to connect to Telnet ? #26

Closed Write closed 2 years ago

Write commented 3 years ago

Hi everyone,

And thanks for the author for this amazing work.

I'm trying to patch my camera (2.2.1), I just put the hostname file in a newly formated SD Card (8GB) in FAT32. I can succesfully add the camera to HomeKit, but it seems there's no RTSP stream available (I'm trying to connect to rtsp://<ip>/10 trough VLC).

I tried to connect with Putty using Telnet, but it just says "Connection refused" after a few seconds and there's no login prompt at all. Should I create a cable like the author did to connect trough telnet, or should I be able to do it over IP as I tried if the patch is successfull ?

Otherwise, I'm not really sure how can I check what is really hapening since I have no access whatsoever, So far my guess is the cam is just not patched

EDIT (Solved) : The camera was indeed not patched, there was two partition on the SD (16GB) card, one of which I forgot. You need to have an SD card with only one FAT32 partition. The patch won't reset HomeKit association, which is great. As for telnet connection, I can indeed connect with Putty to telnet over IP now and RTSP is working at the same time.

Thanks for your work !
