Hi Otto, thanks for your work on hacking these type of cameras. With the information you shared I was able to telnet into the gear 360. I have bought this camera for a project of mine, where I need to capture photos using the OSC api from a remote server application. For this I need to be able to have the camera connect to an existing wifi from which the server application can reach the camera ip address without any problem.
Considering that I have never done this sort of things before (linux wifi cfg from cmdline), I am reclutant as I am not sure if any modification I do to the config files is permanent or can be reverted in case of failure. Can I brick the camera? I imagine that disabling hostapd can cause the camera to never be able to create its own wifi and thus blocking me to re-enter with a telnet to fix any issue I created.
If you have time to reply with some tips or directions, or even shed some light whether these sort of changes to the wifi config can brick the camera, I will appreciate a lot.
