My security camera shipped a GitHub admin token in its login page
The best I've found is https://openipc.org/ which is a very manufacturer unsupported way of reflashing certain chips with open-source firmware. It seems very fiddly as only certain SoCs are supported and good luck finding out if a specific Chinese camera has one.

Show HN: Clearcam – Add AI Object Detection to Your IP CCTV Cameras in a Minute
There's https://openipc.org/ , if open source camera firmware is of interest to you. I actually ordered a few supported IP camera modules (basically complete IP cameras but without the case) from Aliexpress and tested that I'm able to compile a firmware, I shall see if I get it working once they arrive.
It's not quite clear to me what the firmware is actually able to do, though. Apparently its motion detection is very basic, though, so you'd need to use e.g. Frigate for that.
