Hi all,

I'm trying to access the web interface of my Jooan A6M-U camera and I'm stuck on the login page after exhausting all the usual options. Hoping someone here has dealt with this firmware before.

What I know so far:
  • Web interface at port 80 shows a login page titled "ipcamera"
  • Port 443 also open, all other ports (22, 23, 554, 8080, etc.) closed
  • Auth endpoint is GET /goform/getVideoSettings?userid=<user>&userkey=<md5_of_password>
  • Confirmed username is "admin" (wrong username returns infinite load, wrong password returns {"result":"error_passwd"})
  • Tried passwords: blank, admin, 123456, 111111, 12345678, jooan — all return error_passwd
  • Hardware reset performed (confirmed two beep self-test completed)
  • Page source references qacloud.com.cn and uses jquery.md5.js for password hashing
  • Unauthenticated CGI endpoints (hi3510/param.cgi?cmd=getuser etc.) all return 500
  • Telnet (port 23) is closed

What I'm looking for:
Any known default or recovery password for this firmware, or guidance on UART access to reset/dump the credentials at the hardware level. I have basic soldering ability and am comfortable with serial console work if someone can point me in the right direction for this chipset.

Thanks in advance!

If it's an A6M-U like this one default username and password is :

admin / admin123

If you use Cam720 by Jooan for your Android phone ( free on Google Play ) you can get into settings for cam and it will show
the password ( You need Bluetooth AND WiFi turned ON ) for it to initially connect to Cam720 App and get cam onto your WiFi ,
there is also alarm settings , push notifications and FORMAT for SD card in the APP , but no Network adjustments.

STD web interface for this is in chinese and not much there, just 4 different SECURITY settings for ONVIF and a Firmware updater .
( I do know what the different bullet box choices mean I have a translation if you need to know ) so if you are looking
for settings , go to Cam720 app or use ODM .

ODM ( Onvif Device Manager ) for PC can also see these cams , you have to login to ODM with admin/admin123 and Cams IP address
here you can play with the Network settings a bit , like DHCP to ON , so you can set an IP address for it in router via its MAC address ,
so it always reboots to the same IP , there is also some port settings/choices which are unavailable in Cam720 App.

FREE DOWNLOAD : ODM

The RTSP stream can be viewed with VLC media player Official download of VLC media player, the best Open Source player - VideoLAN
Open VLC go to Media tab , select STREAM , select Network tab in box that appears and fill in RTSP address )

rtsp:/admin:[email protected]:554/live/ch00_0

once you have it on the network and change " 192.168.0.xxx " to your camera IP.

( If you change the number on end of RTSP to " ch00_1 " it gives a low resolution video feed if you need it )

Both RTSP feeds should give video with audio , but if you want to SPEAK out from cam , that has to be done via Cam720
where you can also change MIC gain and speaker volume , which then set on camera NOT in App , so if you set camera
to flip picture upside down with Cam720 settings for cam , it will stay that way when you view via VLC or other viewing program
like Blue IRIS or similar.

Goodluck.
