Nie, dziękuję Przekieruj mnie tamwhere is the UID number on bulb cam danger model ZAQ8-12
• On the BULBCAM (model ZAQ8-12) the UID is factory-printed on a small white label that is glued to the camera housing, directly above the E27/E26 screw base.
• The same UID is duplicated under the square QR-code on that label and is repeated on the product carton and the first page of the quick-start leaflet.
Key points
– Look for a white or silver sticker carrying a QR-code plus a 12- to 20-character alphanumeric string marked “UID”, “ID” or “P2P-ID”.
– Usual physical position: cylindrical part of the bulb, 5 – 10 mm above the metal thread; occasionally on the opposite side of the microphone holes.
– If the sticker is missing, the UID can still be retrieved through the camera’s temporary Wi-Fi hotspot after a factory reset (see “Practical guidelines”).
Why the UID matters
• The UID (Unique Identifier) is the P2P address the mobile app (JXLCAM / V380 Pro / ICSee, depending on the sales channel) uses to locate your camera on the vendor’s relay servers.
• Without it the server cannot map your phone request to the correct camera stream.
Typical label construction on ZAQ8-12
• 25 × 20 mm matte sticker, thermal-printed at the assembly plant.
• Contains: QR-code, “Model: ZAQ8-12”, FCC/CE marks, power rating “AC85-265 V”, default credentials (admin / blank) and the UID.
• UID format observed on this series: four capital letters + nine digits + three capital letters, e.g. “ABCD123456789XYZ”.
Why the base area is preferred
• Flat surface → label adheres well, survives heat from the LED board.
• Low probability of being scratched when handled.
• Easy to show to a smartphone camera for QR scanning during first-time setup.
Alternative locations (less frequent batch variants)
• Rim of the metal cap (laser-etched, tiny font, needs magnifier).
• Inside the lens bezel (requires unscrewing the plastic cover—NOT recommended because of warranty seal).
• Many 2023–2024 bulb cameras (ZA-series derivatives) started shipping with dual UID/QR stickers: one on the camera, one loose in the manual for safe keeping—addressing user complaints about damaged or peeled labels.
• New firmware (Nov-2023 and later) allows the app to display the UID automatically once the camera is discovered over its AP hotspot, reducing dependence on physical labels.
• Example: After resetting, the camera emits an SSID like “IPC-AP-E81234”. The last 8-10 characters usually match the trailing part of the UID, confirming you have the correct device.
• Analogy: Think of the UID as the camera’s “phone number” in the manufacturer’s VoIP-like P2P system.
• Anyone who knows the UID and the camera’s default password can request a P2P session. Always change the default password immediately after pairing.
• EU GDPR and similar regulations consider video plus UID a personal data combination; secure storage is mandatory.
Physically locating the UID
– Power off, unscrew the bulb, rotate it until you see a QR-code sticker just above the metal thread.
– If nothing visible, check the carton and the user leaflet.
Retrieving the UID without the sticker
a) Press and hold the reset pin for ~10 s until voice prompt “Reset success, wait for connection”.
b) On your phone connect to the camera’s open Wi-Fi (SSID “IPC-xxxx”).
c) Launch the recommended app → Add device → “Add via AP”. The UID will appear in the device list. Record it.
Best practices
– Photograph the sticker and store it in cloud notes.
– Paste the spare sticker (if supplied) on the inside of your fuse box door for quick reference.
Potential challenges
• Label fallen off: fall back to AP retrieval.
• Printing smeared: carton copy or retailer database (they can pull the UID from the shipping manifest).
• Some sellers re-flash ZAQ8-12 units with their own app; UID location stays the same, but label may carry their brand logo instead of “BulbCam”.
• If your unit is branded “Danger” and has no external sticker, contact the reseller—certain grey-market batches intentionally placed the label inside the plastic shell to avoid CE re-certification stickers.
• Investigate firmware tools such as “IPC-TestTool” to read UID/MAC directly via UART if label and AP mode both fail.
• Follow current P2P-security research (e.g., 2024 IoT-Inspector report) for vulnerabilities linked to UID discovery.
The ZAQ8-12’s UID is almost always on a QR-code sticker 5–10 mm above the screw base; the identical code is duplicated on the packaging and in the quick-start guide. If the sticker is missing, perform a factory reset, join the camera’s temporary Wi-Fi and let the companion app reveal the UID. Secure the UID and change default passwords promptly to prevent unauthorized access.
