todo:upgrade ftp server for vs3.1
There is a built-in ftp server in MayGion IPCamera.
From vs1.x to vs3.0,the ftp user name is MayGion and password is maygion.com,user and password both are case sensitive and unchangeable.
There is no way to disable built-in ftp server.
This is NOT a "back door",the only purpose of this feature is help our development and help our guest to repair corrupt firmware.
Since your IPCamera in behind router,outside the network hackers can not login your IPCamera FTP Server.
At the same time,IPCamera administrator can enable/disable ftp server.
For ftp client,We suggest use "CuteFtp 6.0 Professional".We use it on firmware development and it works well.
When use ftp,please do NOT change any files unless we tell you,otherwise software repair will be impossible.
After login ipcamera ftp success,please goto directory /tmp/eye/app,you will see following files:
In order to be able to restore your old firmware,please download these files and save them in a safe place of your local computer.cs CameraServer:our firmware main application cs.def.ini default config file,this file is copy to cs.ini when reset config cs.ini current config file use by cs cs.ro.ini config file to store some read-only data,obsolete start from vs3.1 ws wpa_supplicant application,need by wifi WPA ws.conf wpa_supplicant
Now download app.rar(vs3.1) from our website and extract to get following 3 files:cs,cs.def.ini and ws.
Remove all files in /tmp/eye/app and then,upload these 3 files to /tmp/eye/app.
Notice:
After upload,please sure /tmp/eye/app/cs is intact,current cs is about 194KB
If cs is not intact,the ipcamera will not working.
In this case,you can delete /tmp/eye/www/ocx2.exe to save some flash space and upload cs again.
Please goto directory /tmp/eye/www,you will see many web pages,backup them in your local computer and then remove all files in /tmp/eye/www
Now download www.rar(for vs3.1) from our website and extract to get a "www" folder,upload all files of this folder to /tmp/eye/www
When upgrade files to ipcamera,please make sure the files in upload total and intact.
If your ipcamera flash is full and rejest to upload file,please do not upload /tmp/eye/www/ocx2.exe,it can save about 120KB ipcamera flash.
When IP Camera power on,it first execute an app called loader,this loader give us a chance to repair corrupt firmware.
Make sure your router's IP is 192.168.1.1 and your PC'ip is 192.168.1.3,both netmask is 255.255.255.0 as normal
Run IPCamRepair.exe on your PC and power ipcamera on.(You should use IPCamRepair.exe here)
When ipcmaera's loader connect IPCamRepair,IPCamRepair will show the ip of ipcamera,usually it it 192.168.1.111
Keep IPCamRepair running and use FTP client(recommand CuteFtp 6.0 professional) to login ipcamera and upload app and www.
And then close IPCamRepair,the ipcamera will reboot automatically.
vs3.1 support mjpeg stream,assume your ipcamera is 192.168.1.101 and with default user&password,
you can fetch the stream by 192.168.1.101/videostream.cgi?usr=admin&pwd=admin
mjpeg stream is a standard and many app support it.
There is a free iphone app support our ipcamera in iphone,http://www.netcamviewer.nl/index.php/en
just edit www/tool.js is enough,you can take english language as an example.
You can even use google translate and make some necessary correction.
