How to disable sending data to Chinese servers?

Attention! After that, the standard mobile application will stop working, access to the camera will only be via telnet / ftp / http / rtsp!
We go to the camera via telnet, execute commands
To disable Chinese services:

chmod -x / home / goolink / home / cloud

Enable ntpd launch and change the timezone format,
otherwise, the clock will go astray and the time will be in the wrong time zone.
In the example, Moscow time, the shift from UTC is 3 hours.
If you have a different time zone, change the number in the / etc / TZ file:

echo "while! nslookup ru.pool.ntp.org; do sleep 1; done; ntpd -p ru.pool.ntp.org">/etc/init.d/S90ntpd

In the course, laid out for those who are on a slow channel or who do not want to wait to download from Chinese servers (sometimes very long and with errors).
At the very fourth time, only rocked.

dimak33,
Tell me, if you know, besides the rtsp stream, can you still connect to the camera?
Specifically - you need to connect the stream from the camera to the application for iPadBaby Monitor for IP Camerasfrom Tiny Solutions LLC.

I pushed one of my cameras with a new firmware ... I recorded a home file on the sd flash drive and the camera did not start up anymore. how to correct it correctly? maybe I’m not doing something, I’m missing something ??? .
You can connect a flash drive with a camera? just pipets 4 hours killed and not a fig ... blurs and all
Resolved ...
I hooked the camera to Wi-Fi - 5 GHz on which the phone worked with the client under the camera (that's where the joint was), 2.4 GHz was connected immediately

A reset does not help?

Reset highlighted in red

You hike the camera to the Wi-Fi network can not connect. It is necessary to reset the settings of the camera itself (via Reset). Then re-go through the procedure of registering the camera on the network through a native Android client. If it does not help, you can play around with the Wi-Fi settings on the router, set the most common ranges to check - b \ g \ n.
You can connect the camera without a flash drive, everything will work.

My torture with the camera ended .. it started after 5 hours of busting (I don’t know how) ... the firmware on it turned out to be new ... and I didn’t see the old cards ...
And now the camera is washing on the new firmware .. and so it’s not so hot as it showed, and now it’s twice as bad ...
I have two identical cameras one on 1.8.5 and the second on the old 1.8.3 put them together and compared and also took a screenshot from two cameras in HD

Good afternoon, I dropped it through a hard rezet. A yellow light is constantly on, this is the problem. Help the camera just hang.

[dimak33]

Oleginufa
Try launching a new camera search or add a new camera. After these manipulations, I connected to the network (the blue LED came on), then canceled the search. Then just connected to the camera.

Probyval did not help.

And now the camera is washing on the new firmware .. and so it’s not so hot as it showed, and now it’s twice as bad ...

Also noticed that with the new firmware, the camera began to give soap! :(

Who knows how to fix the number and time in the upper left corner of the camera?
Or remove completely.
