I can get a response from the camera when I initiate a telnet session but I dont seem to get any response when I write the user name to the camera -  I havnt been able to get any response writing anything. Im using python 2.7 and windows xp.  here is the code:

The returned string ends with "User:", presumably the prompt to enter
the username, which makes we wonder whether you should be reading until
"User:" instead of until "Login: ".

>>>>tn.write(USER + "\r\n")

Should you be ending that with just "\r" or just "\n" instead? (That
would be equivalent to typing the username and then pressing the Return
key.)

>>>>tn.read_until("User: ")

Haven't you already seen "User: "?
