I don't think there's any way to do it over USB but there is a way to flash firmware over wifi to the camera https://github.com/ErikAndren/DCS-6100LH
This exists but i haven't tried it so i have no idea if it works or not
Here are some information i collected as i tested this myself and thought that i should share it here in case someone else finds it useful
Information about the RX/TX and GND pins:
The RX/TX pins seem to use 3.3v since I used a USB to UART adapter that uses 3.3v
(Images at the bottom)
How to get root password
"DCS-6100LH-MACADDRESS"
replace MACADDRESS with the mac address for your camera
(for example: "DCS-6100LH-B0C5546518E7")
(the mac address can be found on the quick start guide or the underside of the camera)
How to Disable OSD(time overlay and dlink watermark)
open SystemConfig.ini
Find the OSD section and set OsdDisplayEnable to 0
OsdDisplayEnable = 0this will disable the overlay
How to disable orange blinking LED
open SystemConfig.ini
Find The Mydlink Section
Set light_status to 0
light_status = 0How to enable telnet:
open /mnt/mtd/boot.sh
comment out the following line:
/etc/init.d/S50telnet stop(should be around line 140)
this will stop the telnet daemon from being stopped
Information regarding tftp and busybox:
The camera uses busybox, the syntax for the various commands can be found here: https://busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html
How to transfer files
Transferring files
example:
tftp -p -l SystemConfig.ini 192.168.xxx.xxxthe above command sends a file to a tftp server at address: 192.168.xxx.xxx
--
example:
tftp -g -r test.txt 192.168.xxx.xxxthe above command gets a file from a tftp server at address: 192.168.xxx.xxx
