Flashing open-source firmware into Eufy C120 IP Camera

10 months ago

Consumer IP cameras are heavily locked down, requiring proprietary apps and cloud accounts for setup.
Open-source firmware like Thingino offers a way to bypass these restrictions, enabling features like RTSP/ONVIF.
The Eufy C120 camera was chosen for flashing due to its compatibility and non-intrusive design.
Flashing requires specific hardware (Micro-USB OTG adapter, Male-to-Male USB cable) and software (Cloner).
The process involves dumping the original firmware, merging files, and flashing the new firmware.
After flashing, the camera boots into WiFi AP mode for configuration without needing cloud services.
