Thank you sir it helps if you solder the wire then solder the pad lightly then throw down a gob of flux I shake like a whore in church as they say and I've supprised myself with this method. Lots of good info there to go off of for starters. As far as resolution it is mostly limited by camera...

TTL isn't that hard really honestly Joint Test Action group was a bit more finicky back in the day using buffered cables and such this is only like 4 pins power ground TX RX the hardest thing about TTL is getting your Voltage right for your processor some require 5v others are 3v don't wanna...

@grumpyITGuy well why not share the link to your blog I'd be interested in your findings I wish I had more to report or share myself but I'm limited on the Cameras I have available CCC cameras seem to be what folks want when I do installs as well I'd just love the ability to have alternative...

Excellent thank you both for pledging favor of support for Open Source IPC's not saying that you are happy with where they are that's fair but the fact that we can have the discussion makes all the difference. Yeah I mean the only cameras I have that are not in service at the moment are my old...

Irrespective, the questions still remain... What I don't get is why we shouldn't want firmware security? What I also don't get is why we should be forced into "cloud recording"? What I also don't get is why functionality disabling through firmware is a thing among camera vendors? Why not simply...

OpenIPC is simply an alternative firmware. No one is forced to use it and that shouldn't be the case. It would be no different than if I loaded my router with DDWRT. There is obvious benefits to this not all routers are supported and at first WRT firmware was very limited to the WRT54G if...

I agree 100% I'd like to see a future in Cameras where proprietary firmware and restrictions can be subverted. For a number of reasons the fact that people think they are safe just because they are on another subnet really blows my mind it's somewhat like there is a disconnect in the...

Lets get back on Topic. The Original poster or OP asked what the cameras were that support OPENIPC!!! No one has provided any content other than me to this question! I am only aware of OPENIPC supported list containing a list of camera SOC's not a list of camera's. Is anyone aware of a list...

Yes you should Secure your network as others have stated over and over!

OK camera security does matter even if you isolate it on a network. There could be methodologies used via the firmware to create bridges to other subnets on your network or to your VPN server. Network "isolation" doesn't guarantee security you still need security of device firmware. Bottom line...

Yeah, nothing new under the sun there you seem to be a pretty active and helpful dude though thanks for your replies ;) Do you know if there is a list of Camera hardware somewhere that supports OpenIPC anyways? By model rather than chip. My main cam is the sunba illuminauti actually pretty...

You could do that some folks need remote access to their NVR while they are away. NVR's are notorious for having firmware that setup secondary networks that provide their cameras access to the outside more or less. I guess you could have an SSH server you could access to access the bridge or...

Well dunno what is up with these answers open IPC cameras at the moment are based on chip being used... I wish it were easier to be honest I wish there was a list of cameras that were using specific chips I like you am looking for the same thing. https://openipc.org/supported-hardware/featured...

hrmmmm... my video was at night of the siding blowing off my home in a storm it was a contractor suit. But needless to say we had the video and worked well enough for small claims look I have no need to argue about this matter really it isn't a perfect solution as I stated but it is better than...

I don't doubt it for a bit oddly I can ID someone and if I have trouble I can adjust some settings and digital zoom to help highlight things like plates and such with post video processing measures so IDK seems to work for me most of the time could be because I have cameras everywhere though...
