Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks VS motioneye

https://github.com/EliasKotlyar/Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks is a particularly good example, the top of the README is a list of camera models and pictures of the camera. (It also mentions "Any other Device with Ingenic T10/T20" at the end of the list, so it might overlap with OpenIPC somewhat?)

For those who are anti-cloud or want a 2-tier system for any good reasons, Been using this with several wyzecam V2 cameras for 2 years with no issues other than the cameras not being low light sensitive like the V3, otherwise the setup is pretty solid and fast.

Default password inside Dafang firmware for Neocam Hey folks I'm attempting to change the seemingly hardcoded "root" "ismart12" password inside the Dafang firmware https://github.com/EliasKotlyar/Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks

Wyze with custom firmware https://github.com/EliasKotlyar/Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks

https://github.com/EliasKotlyar/Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks works for me. It still crashes though, but with home assistant and mqtt control I can restart rtsp or reboot them. I use Frigate nvr for object detection and that provides mqtt stats, if the fps goes to zero that triggers a restart of rtsp if that fails to fix things then it is rebooted.

motioneyeos is fantastic, but last i checked it wasn't being maintained any more… since you're already using ubuntu, the project is available without the full os distro: motionEye.

not to disrupt your project, but consider https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye looks like this https://snapcraft.io/motioneye

If your laptop has a webcam you can install motioneye to turn it into a surveillance camera https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye.

Motion OS has unfortunately stopped but MotionEye itself is still on-going (last update was a month ago to two yaml files).

2 handle CCTV via MotionEye (https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye) using some cheapy Wansview cameras (inside and out...originally to keep an eye on a new dog while we were working upstairs). 1 handles the UI of MotionEye, and is also used for various ad-hoc processes (e.g. SpotDL, Samba etc) where having an always-on machine is handy.

Have a look at MotionEye for the Pi - install notes here
