Fentac V380 Connection

Just in case someone also has the IP Camera, Wifi Camera Mini Camera with Infrared Night Vision 2 Way Audio Motion Tracker CCTV P2P Home Security (Bracket Type) from “ShenziTech”:

  • System kernel version: KerV380E12_PCARD_V50_V2.2.0_20160506
  • System firmware version: HwV380E12_WF3_PCARD_V50_20160217

By default this version has only port 8800 open. I followed the instructions by @grunwald and afterwards have ports 554, 8800 and 8899 open. Here is exactly what I did and what happened:

  1. Power the camera on
  2. Remove SD card
  3. Put the ceshi.ini file on the card (mine had unix line endings and no blank line after the two lines, but I am pretty both of this does not matter)
  4. Put the SD card into the camera
  5. Switch the camera off and on again
  6. The camera says:
    • System starting
    • chinese
    • System startup completed
    • establishing access point
    • access point established
    • chinese (same as before if I am not mistaken)
  7. The access point is then not established and I needed to power the cam off an on again.

The following address then works with vlc player:

rtsp://admin:password@192.168.xx.xx:554/live/ch00_1

Thanks again @grunwald

p.s.: The login via a github account seems to be broken. I was getting the Redirect URI mismatch error all the time.
