EasyN IPCam

Model FS-618A-M136, ordered from Ebay (with a free NETWOKR CABLE)Ebay.

Seriously shonky, it spews out a repeating half-second beep on harmonics of 16.072MHz, including 144.648MHz. This starts about 10 seconds after boot, and is probably due to a TCO-745V or similar.

UDP control

The state info is also returned from UDP broadcast of "uicam query\0" on port 10139.

The camera responds 520 bytes (512, assuming the first 8 bytes are separate), starting with "uiv2". The state info is followed by the DDNS update details: host, "\0\0", data to send (i.e. an HTTP request without the HTTP version).

You can change any settings in one go by returning uisp (set params?) in place of uiv2. The webcam replies with oksp "OK", followed uibo "Booting". Only the uiv2 response populates the version field.
