Hi,
I was playing around with my HikVision camera an accidentally saved a large file into /tmp which is amounted ram disk. While the system was unresponsive, I rebooted it. It was running in a loop. I could ping the IP address for a while but it looked like the system is running into a reboot loop.
So no exactly sure what happened, but now it's not responding to any pings again. So it looked like I bricked my HikVision 2032 camera.
I already tried to run the TFTP Server and let it re-install the firmware. But this did not work. I can't even see something trying to open a connection to the tftp server. I also run wireshark to see if there are any connects from the camera...but nothing I can notice. Also the IR LEDs stay off all the time.
So I opened up the camera to look for a serial port. There is a connector called JP1 which has a cable going to the front of the camera.
Does anyone know if and where the Camera has it's serial console port connector?
Any other ideas how to de-brick the camera?
Thanks, Netsrac
