Add test.htm example #3

Open danboid opened 5 years ago

danboid commented 5 years ago

I have a wimius Q6 camera which I am trying to get to work as a webcam under Linux. I believe it is based on the nt96660 chipset. It is definitely based on a Novatek chipset.

The manual

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0878/4732/files/Survey3-WIFI-Manual.pdf

Says I should be able to operate the camera via its wifi web interface by opening:

http://192.168.1.254/?custom=1

When I do this, it tries to load a test.htm file off the SD card but the manual doesn't contain or link to a suitably formatted test.htm file in order to run the various commands. I believe the commands would be the same as those listed in this repo but this repo hasn't formatted it as a HTML page.

Would you know if its possible to use the wimius Q6 as a USB webcam under Linux, or Windows 10, without using the wifi? It hasn't worked for me and the manufacturer said I should try it under Windows 7, which I don't run and MS are killing next year.

Maybe there is a better firmware I could flash to this camera that would get Linux USB wecam (v4l2) working, or at least get it working as a USB webcam under Windows 10? Can I upgrade/modify the firmware on these without any special hardware ie can it be done over USB?

Also, is it possible to record at full, real UHD 4K on these devices? 4K is not 4K on the current, official firmware (2.XK) but maybe there is a modified novatek firmware that actually does record at UHD res?

Apparently the test.htm file should be included in the firmware archive but I cannot find any firmware downloads for my camera.

HI nutsey

Unfortunately that link ( https://www.goprawn.com/filedata/fetch?id=14053&d=1555154119 ) is dead. When I click it it says

"Invalid File Specified"

danboid commented 5 years ago

Actually its downloaded OK, its because I wasn't registed and logged into the goprawn forum.

I'm gong to test it now but if it works, this file needs to be much easier to find. Uploading it to this repo would be better.

test-htm.zip

danboid commented 5 years ago

I copied the test.htm file into the root of my wimius SD card and it opens the page correctly when I open

http://192.168.1.254/?custom=1

after connecting to the wimius wifi but none of the commands work, I just get errors like:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

I got the same errors when I was trying some example nt96660 web api URLs so maybe the wimius Q6 isn't a NT96660 at all? As I say, its definitey Novatek, but which chipset? I could try emailing Wimius support to ask them.

I had a look at it with nmap and noticed port 3333 (and 80 and 443) was open, if thats any clue?
