Sooo, getting Java in Firefox working has completely taken the wind out of my sails and I am VERY bored now, but suffice it to say that
- I image-searched "nurserycam dvr" and immediately found a video, from NurseryCam itself, showing how to reboot the DVR
- I also found a PDF with some "HDD reset" instructions and noticed the PDF had a closeup of the control panel buttons
- Googling the button labels from found me some extremely hazy model info - your standard "but which manufacturer?!" fare, it seems to be around the midpoint of "full AliExpress" at one end and actual reputability at the other
- After image-searching "<manufacturer> web interface" I stumble on a screenshot of a directory service that registers DVRs via DNS and gives them a domain
- "site:*.<domain>" found a few results
- visit one of them, open devtools, and yes, there's a unique Server: string
Then it was your standard
- how to into applet in 2021? oh, FF 52.0 ESR, ok
- download java 8
- find random website with java 8 .tar.gz because Oracle
- unpack java 8, create symlink, yay!
- security exception. oh.
- replace with java 7
- [A LONG TIME LATER] ohhhh, firefox updated itself and that's why everything looks wrong and the plugin stopped working
- okay let's go through shoda... actually you know what this is really boring.
TL;DR: it look about 3 hours to install Java and about 25 minutes to figure out what brand of DVR this company is using. Security through... ADHD incompatibility, anybody?
