- OpenIPC for Wyze V2 is forked from dafang-hacks and is based on a proprietary Wyze firmware (demo.bin) with implementations allowing the end user to take full control of their Wyze camera.
- OpenIPC for Wyze V1 is forked from fang-hacks and is based on a proprietary Xiaomi firmware (FIRMWARE_660R.bin) with implementations allowing the end user to take full control of their Wyze camera.
- At this time OpenIPC is not a 100% completely open source project as we rely upon the chinese base firmware at the moment to execute our payload (install method).
- We do not have intentions to rewrite low level boot code and drivers for this camera model, instead we provide end users the ability to mitigate risk by gaining full root control.
- Source code repositories for all added binaries will be added to the project shortly (snx_rtsp_server/dropbear). The inherent risk of a chinese base firmware can now be fully mitigated.
This process only works for Wyze V2. There are no flashing LED or sound effects from V1.
-
Download this git repository.
-
Copy the contents of firmware_mod/v2/ to the root of your sdcard.
-
Set up Wifi in the SD card config folder wpa_supplicant.conf
-
Power off your camera, insert the SD card
-
Hold the setup button, plug in your USB cable, keep holding the setup button for 3-6 seconds
-
Once the light is solid blue, release the button and wait for 3-4 minutes. The camera will reboot and change light status during this time.
-
The camera will appear on your network with a mac address similar to this: C8:02:8F:10:03:FA
-
To access the web interface, visit the camera's IP address in your browser (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). Username: dafang Password: ismart12
-
RTSP stream (when enabled), rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8554/unicast
- Auto Night Mode does not work due to Wyze V2 missing LDR chip
- Full 1080p not supported. 1600x900 is maximum resolution.
- https://github.com/EliasKotlyar/Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks/issues
-
Download and install Etcher or Win32 Disk Imager
-
Write the openipc_v0.2.4.img to your SDcard
-
Open the SDCard and edit the files .wifissid and .wifipasswd to match your network
-
Flash the firmware to the camera:
- Hold down the setup button for 10 seconds BEFORE connecting power
- With button still depressed, plug in power to the camera while continuing to hold for another 10 - 12 seconds.
- Release the button when the connection light blinks continually.
- Press the button again and you should hear a Chinese voice prompt if successful.
-
Remove SDcard and reboot camera and reinsert after boot until you hear "click click".
-
Repeat Step 5 until you hear "click click".
-
Run openipscan.sh or openipscanwin.sh if you're on windows/mac and find the IP address of your new OpenIP Camera. Note: MAC address will be changed to c0:6d:1a*
-
Proceed to the status web page and apply the hacks. http://[discoveredipaddress]/cgi-bin/status
NOTE: of you get a 404 error with a flashing blue led, Remove the sdcard and reinsert it. Shortly after thst the camera will go "click click" again. Proceed to the link now
