thing ino Open-source Firmware for Ingenic SoC IP Cameras
Please note that we list not only the camera model, but also its SoC, image sensor, Wi-Fi module, and flash chip size. These must match to be supported by the firmware. We have found that some manufacturers change the hardware in different batches of the same module without notice.
Some brands protect their cameras by writing a secret key into the OTP area of the SoC. They digitally sign the installed firmware with a matching key, so that replacing the pre-installed firmware with one that is not signed with the same key will render the camera unusable, unless you replace the SoC with a new, undamaged one.
These cameras are not necessarily based on Ingenic SoC. Some units purchased on AliExpress were marketed as the same model, but they came with unsupported ARM processors.
We've heard that these cameras use Ingenic SoC, so we think they could be added to the supported list. Unfortunately, we don't have a sample of this camera to work on, so we'd be happy to accept it as a donation to the project. Just a heads-up, this is a non-commercial project, and the people working on it contribute their free time for nothing more than a sense of accomplishment. If you want things to develop faster, offer your help.
