New firmware for JPT3815W 2013 Edition

Tenvis has just released the update 1.7.17 for its new JPT3815W 2013 Edition and the JPT3815W+






You can get it here. Pay attention to the hardware version and don't go bricking your older non-2013 JPT3815W with it!

The front green power LED state can now be controlled (On/Off/Blink) from the System > "Misc Setting" section.

Regrettably, there's still no option to select the outdoor video mode, and still no way to turns off the whole LED ring. Maybe next time!

The official changelog is as follow:
I.  Added front power indicator LED control 
II. Resolved email alert malfunction when using 4 email recipients
III.Resolved bug when using 21.cn as sender email address
IV. Resolved unsigned plug-in issue
V.  Improved alarm schedule

Onvif Firmware for Cybernova WIP604MW

This official 05.39 update from CyberNova is a first step to bring the ONVIF compliance to the WIP604MW, well...sort of...



Before you jump on it, let me moderate your enthusiasm by saying that I could not get the camera to work with Synology Surveillance Station nor Hit-Mob's IP Camera Viewer.

I have one of the oldest hardware version of this camera, so maybe this is why my tests failed...



Strangely though, the Onvif device manager does find the camera all right and gets the picture back from it.

Important Notice: 

Before performing any firmware update, read this post to learn about potential problems that can result from this operation as well as how to backup the board.dat file. 

Download locations:
Cybernova: Firmware0539 , mirror


Dericam: Firmware03 (also v.05.39 but Dericam-branded)
Official changelog from Dericam:

1.Brand new outlook of Dericam webpage.
2.Fix the OSD bug,you can control the time display now.
3.Add the Onvif function,you can connect the H502W to NVR for record.(Such as Synology NVR).

Note: according to various tests, the Dericam release contains a bug whereas a logout will not effectively close the connection, still allowing direct access to camera via manually built urls like /sysinfo.xml

Another Probox2 firmware update released this week

A second, newer release of Android 4.1 is now available for Probox2. 







If you upgraded your Probox2 to Android 4.1 last week, you may not have realized that another release has been published since.

The first release of Android 4.1 for Probox2 was ULTIMATE.411.012.11.130129.

Now there's a ULTIMATE.411.012.11.130227 version available from the same link at probox2.com and also from w2comp download section.

The visible changes are the additions of "Google Play Music" and "Google Chrome", and some core apps are updated to their latest version.

The firmware update should be done exclusively with RKBatchTool.exe. Do not use the device auto-update by copying the firmware file on the SD card as it results in a very unstable system. 



Again, thanks to W2COMP.com for the information.
