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
chmod + x /etc/init.d/S90ntpd

The settings are scarce. Notifications on the body come when moving? How in the video advertising?

[oiav]

Yes come. Even if on another network

[f-lirt]

oiavmean for a nanny fit. And if there is no wifi network, how can you connect to a camera from a smart phone, for example, share a wifi?

[roha999]

Oiav @ 02/08/2015, 23:25

Yes come. Even if on another network

How exactly do the notifications look like? And then something doesn't come to me, maybe I need to turn it on?

I still have a problem with viewing the history - I’m talking about 10 minutes ago and switching a couple of hours back to the first place, can it be connected with the dissynchronization of time or the fig card?

Colleagues, who has an SD card on the latest firmware?

Colleagues, who has an SD card on the latest firmware?

The last one was loaded from 10 times and now there is no access to the camera from third-party applications and programs.
Writes to the card normally.

[poliduris]

Was the card preformatted?

Post has been editedpoliduris - 12.02.15, 14:13

[snow.in.trousers]

o.O tell me plz. I can not configure the camera for Xiaomi smart home app. does not see the camera. If you log out from your account sees the network. Everything is working fine in Xiaomi Smart Camera. Could there be a reason in the router? Model TL-WR710N (TPlink)

[poliduris]

I figured out the map, the camera didn’t like that it was only 2GB, I put all the rules on 32GB. Question about the quality of the recording on the card, where to find the quality settings of the recording on the card? I looked at the map on my computer, the camera on the SD card made 2 folders, in the first folder the video is of poor quality, in the second quality it is even worse.

[sheitan777]

Has anyone found out the login and password in the new version of the firmware?

[Dioscorides]

I can not make friends with the camera dir-615. The diode starts flashing blue and that's it, the program gives an error. It works on other routers. 5 MHz is not on it. Reset to factory settings

[sheitan777]

Is the DIR615 5 GHz?

[college2000]

Plz tell me how to restrict access to the camera. and now anyone can connect to it from the network
