Echo108

Hi, I am new on this forum and I know this is an old post but I would like to resurrect it for the sake of those who have to deal with zosi support (if you call it that) anyway I too hit all the brick walls and I was able to ascertain that the avss program can be run in linux as I do not use windows anything, zosi support said it could never be done, so if I can achieve that I am sure we can get into this box. I was interested in a serial connection, I built a server on a pogoplug using this same technique and since I am now retired I find more time to dink around with this stuff when the spirit moves me. The connection for that device is pretty straight forward and I may have to open up the the unit to see if I can dissect it further. If I can find the serial connector on the board I can use the usb to serial adapter I have and run picocom on my linux terminal and hopefully I see something, I will get back on here later with results even if they fail, just putting stuff down so I remember to try them. If anyone here found a way to save some time regarding the zosi backdoor I would really appreciate it:) Anyway my reason for access is because they tell me my IP cam is digital and will not connect to the dvr because it cannot run wifi, well I installed the wifi and it is connected but the ddns refuses to connect to my NOIP account no matter what I try and I am stumped and the best way to achieve this is to look at the inside of the programming. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance! Echo
