Sorry for the english but I don’t speak german. Hope it’s ok for you.
So I have a camera IN 3011.
Friday I had a problem to configure email. So I contact the support. Support tried but nothing work, the problem was that any config reboot the camera. I suggest to install the previous firmware and support says ok. So I do it.
But the camera doesn’t reboot after that.
So support suggest me to do a reset.
But since the camera doesn’t work anymore, it doesn’t start anymore.
I do many reset without the network cable, I let the camera off during one night, but nothing work.
Maybe the power supply is faulty.
Do you have the possibility to try another suitable power supply?
But it is also possible that something went wrong when installing the older firmware and therefore it can no longer boot.
In this case the camera would have to be sent in for repair.
Did you tried to use the reset button for more than 15 seconds?
Why do you think the camera doesnt reboot? Because you cant connect to the WebUI or you don`t see the IP in your local network?
What if the reset button stucks permanently in the reset position? I guess in that case the camera can`t boot.
Can you feel the button coming out the reset position after pressing?
Did you installed the correct firmware version? There are two different versions available.
Important: What firmware version do you need? Please check the second number group for the version number. If your current firmware currently has a 37 or 35 second, then please select the firmware 3 * second. Otherwise, if the number is 22, 25 or a different number, please select the firmware with the 2 * second.
In fact it’s the problem, I had the latest firmware but my camera always reboot and configuration for email didn’t work.
A man from instar took the control of my computer to try configure email.
Nothing worked.
So I ask him if the firware was correct, I had the latest 57.37.* so he ask me to try the 57.22.*
And since the camera doesn’t reboot.
So I don’t have access to the camera to reinstall the 57.37.* firmware
Je ne parle pas francais. English seems to be the best way.
Try to get the correct previous version from INSTAR and ask for a french or english manual to do the hack. Maybe they send you a „serial to USB converter“ with four cables included, so your task will be reduced just to open the camera, plug the cables into the designated holes, start tera term and so on.
I have received a first answer from support Instar but nothing new for now.
They don’t believe me that I was not awared by their collaborater that updating the firmware could broke my camera.
