This firmware is completely based on the work done by TheCrypt0 Just remember that this is a very cheap wireless IP camera that can easily be pulled out of a (Chinese) cloud service, and gives you a lot of freedom with it.Custom firmware for Yi camera based on MStar platform The Synology Surveillance Service works just fine with motion on the RTSP stream.Īlso, the video/animated GIF in the Telegram message is not always working. I blame this on the limited internal processing power of the device. Telegram integration works fine (remember to set the swap file confiig!!), but resulting image/video might miss the actual motion.
Having both audio and video in the same stream works badly.Įasy Synology Surveillance Station integration Perhaps it has better recovery mechanisms on the RTSP stream? The RTSP feed of the camera is unstable in the VLC player, BUT keeps working properly in the Synology Surveillance Station. IR / Nightvision is OK, but don’t place the camera behind double glazing, since the IR light reflects back to the camera (-> impaired vision)Īccess and usage is a bit cumbersome in the browser on a mobile device.
#CAMERA FIRMWARE HACK PASSWORD#
That password needs to be changed by invoking the passwd command on the cli.Īfter experiencing a corrupt sd-card everything seems to work fine.Ī lot of functionality for a less than 20 euro IP camera. The password for the webgui can be altered through the webgui ( System -> Administration), but that doesn’t change the password for SSH. The default username and password is root/ismart12, which can and should be altered for obvious security reasons. The box, writing, voice etc, but since the instruction on the github pages are pretty straightforward it shouldn’t be a problem.Īfter finding the IP address you can connect to the device by using a browser. The problem with the AliExpress versions is that is all Chinese. I got my test object from Aliexpress, mainly because it was dead-cheap and no shipping. Since there are different brands that ship basically the same hardware with a different firmware, there’s more than enough choice.
So now I had to get my hands on the most inexpensive version of the camera.
#CAMERA FIRMWARE HACK SOFTWARE#
There’s a github project where they fabricated a firmware hack and with custom software the camera can be used for much more.
So I started a to search to see if these devices could be altered to benefit my needs, and guess what, they can be altered. I don’t like it when I don’t know where my private data resides. I liked everything about it, except the cloud-storage part. A nifty little FullHD wireless IP camera that has a decent (iOS/Android) app and cloud connectivity to store the data. A colleague of mine demonstrated a Wyze webcam a couple of weeks before.
