Hello,

I recently purchased a camera via Ali Express, this one:

I was naive and assumed that it would support ONVIF or RTSP, but unfortunately, both do not work. This camera had to be installed with the YI IOT app, so I believe that is the brand.

I want to view and manage this camera on my Synology, but that obviously does not work. I have used NMAP:

Code:
Nmap scan report for 10.0.0.12
Host is up (0.0097s latency).
Not shown: 998 closed tcp ports (reset)
PORT     STATE SERVICE        VERSION
21/tcp   open  ftp            BusyBox ftpd (D-Link DCS-932L IP-Cam camera)
6789/tcp open  ibm-db2-admin?
MAC Address: 88:B5:FF:D6:1B:56 (Unknown)
Device type: general purpose
Running: Linux 2.6.X|3.X
OS CPE: cpe:/o:linux:linux_kernel:2.6 cpe:/o:linux:linux_kernel:3
OS details: Linux 2.6.32 - 3.10
Network Distance: 1 hop
Service Info: Device: webcam; CPE: cpe:/h:dlink:dcs-932l

OS and Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results at https://nmap.org/submit/ .
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 178.91 seconds
Now, I have read that cameras from YI can also be "hacked."

So that they also support RTSP or ONVIF.

However, I have no idea what type of camera this is. NMAP says D-Link, but I can hardly imagine that?
The app says: 6.0.24.10_202306301451 firmware.

Does anyone know what type of camera this is and which firmware I can use from the "hack" on Github?

Thanks in advance.

HI @ejvl

Do you see an option on the camera to configure it to use ONVIF ?
Unfortunately there are no settings for RSTP or ONVIF. Only live view in the YI app. That's why I want to know what type my camera is so I can put the Yihack on that.

I am also looking to do the same thing, I have about 5 of these things, half of them use the Yi IoT app, the other ones use V720 app yet they all have the same 2 main boards inside.
Have you made any progress?

Unfortunately, the only solution I can think of is to open the app on a Windows computer, capture the screen using OBS, and then broadcast it again, capturing it on Synology, but that's not a good solution.
