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!
