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

No signs of live via UART for now...but my FTDI adapter is a 5V version - guess I need a 3.3V version...

PC has two LANs, but I selected the right one. I try a "tftp / connect 192.0.0.128 /get digicap.dav" from a linux box that runs on the same network and that works fine...so I'm a bit confused why it's not working...

The tftp server says nothing....no connection from the camera...and as I wrote, I also used wireshark to look onto the network. I can see the tftp server on 192.0.0.128 advertising itself every once in a while, but no request from 192.0.0.64. I also tried resetting the camera or turn on the camera with the reset button pressed....nothing....
