New Firmware Version 2.5.0.0 for DM368/DM365 DSP IP Camera

Someone made a comment on my original post about the 5Mpix TI DaVinci DM368 DSP camera that tpsee (the internal board manufacturer) has released firmware 2.5.0.0 for our cameras. I believe that to be worthy to open a new topic for!

update-- A word of warning: It seems the cloud functionality is still expanding and it now actually works. This would be great, if it was possible to disable this function, but it is not and per default EVERY camera is accessible from the outside of your network when they know the device ID! Very VERY bad! A watchful reader made me aware of this fact, much gratitude!

If you decide to run the P2P intergrated firmware, but sure to realize what this means. Anyone in the world can watch your camera, I would advise to only use it if you can block/drop it with your firewall.

--update I have made a new post about firmware version 2.5.1.8 which was recently released. I will keep this post alive because there are a lot of valuable comments in here! If you upgraded, please comment in the newer post!

Passive POE for use with Outdoor IP Cameras

For a while now I have been writing about the TI DaVinci DM368 DSP based cameras. And while these chinese cameras work very well in most situations, they always come with only a small amount of cable in which you need to plug your UTP and power cable. And while the camera might be weatherproof, this connection certainly isn't. I have a cheap solution which I use for this, read on inside!

China Camera's the second wave (Aote IP Camera Review)

It's been a while since my original posting about the IP Camera I had acquired with the TI DaVinci DM368 DSP. Since then, that article has been expanded quite a bit with more firmware levels, and I wrote some other articles on how to make a timelapse. I have since aquired 6 more camera's with the same chipset, all in different forms and configurations, read more about those and where you can buy them in this article.

Review: SanDisk Extreme MicroSDXC 64GB card

Since I bought the new Asus Transformer Pad I wanted to have some storage to go with it. And because I always want the best available I bought a SanDisk Extreme microSDXC UHS-1 64GB. I also believe that buying more expensive now will mean it will last me longer, both in speed and size. So, to test this out I ran some benchmarks on the card.
