Trying to bypass the web login page for viewing

I'm trying to make a QR code so people can access the camera's HTTP live view I don't want them to deal with a password, nor do I want the camera allowing anonymous users to view it. Most of the functions of the http://viewer:not_real_viewer_password@192.168.123.45/cgi-bin seem to work via the brows...

Re: IP8M-2796E Won't leave the IR illuminator off.

I have the system set to cycle through all the options if it doesn't clear up. from [0][3] down to [0][0] but I figured the high number was an easier clue that the lower numbers exist. But thankfully the General mode doesn't seem as fickle as the IR setting, so the code hasn't had to test lower indi...

Re: IP8M-2796E Won't leave the IR illuminator off.

I managed to get it working the hard way. I set up a raspberry pi to call my script /opt/toggle3_ircam.sh : /usr/bin/wget -a /tmp/sjk_wget3 'http://admin:NotMyRealPassword@192.168.123.45/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&Lighting[0][3].Mode=Off' via a perl script that senses if the pict...

Re: IP8M-2796E Won't leave the IR illuminator off.

Yup, I started my thread with the Model I was concerned about. I can't see the camera in the Hide, but this is the amazon picture. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51BT4KpjIiS._AC_SL1500_.jpg I can't see the illuminator , but it might be somewhere in the black glass, or worse in the lens area.

Re: IP8M-2796E Won't leave the IR illuminator off.

I really try to keep it simple, no cloud storage, no 3rd party apps. I tried all three profiles to off, and all thee options reverted to auto after a test logout. The camera is brand new. I'd be happy to do camera surgery regardless of the warranty state. Unfortunately, removing the camera from the ...

IP8M-2796E Won't leave the IR illuminator off.

I have an outdoor concealed camera that is designed to get useful face shots of future perpetrators. My last camera caught all the action during my last theft, but the police wouldn't put out an APB for "That Guy from Minecraft" This area is also covered by wide angle cameras and not in an...

Re: IP5M-B1186E IR Light Resets to Auto

I'm running a IP8M-VB2796E Running firmware: V2.820.00AC002.0.R, Build Date: 2023-04-08 The Camera turns on the IR seemingly at random, mostly after logging out. I finally disabled it by switching to color. But this leaves a dark picture. I have solid IR illumination and the picture is excellent whe...
