    • Ingenic T23N (64MB RAM)
    • Ingenic T31L (64MB RAM)
  • Image Sensor:
    • SmartSense SC2336 (2MP)
    • SmartSense SC2336P (2MP)
  • Wi-Fi Module:
    • Altobeam ATBM6012B (USB)
    • Altobeam ATBM6062 (USB)
  • Flash Chip: NOR 8MB
  • Power: 5V DC USB

Installation

Follow along with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCRiIljSWlw !

  1. Verify which processor your cam has (T31 or T23) by following this video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8dlMDv3GmZ0
  2. Download the installer proper image from https://github.com/wltechblog/thingino-installers
  3. Use your favorite SD card writer (I suggest Raspberry Pi Imager) to write it to your SD card
  4. Boot with the SD card inserted
  5. Wait about 3 minutes and you should see it on your wifi network list

After the firmware is flashed, proceed with configuring wireless access.

Detect device variant without device open

  1. put on sdcard an empty file "log.cfg"
  2. boot on official firmware
  3. you should have on sdcard a log directory
  4. search in the file the sensor name and processor name. For example
grep -r -e loadVideoParam  -e cSensorName log/
log/v4_19700101_0000.log:00:00:00.272 09 CORAV> readIni_drv_sinfo,179] cSensorName=sc2336 
log/v4_19700101_0000.log:00:00:00.272 08 CORAV> readIni_drv_sinfo,206] /var/syscfg/config/drv_sinfo.ini] cSensorName=sc2336 i2c_id=0
log/v4_19700101_0000.log:00:00:00.273 08 CORAV> readIni_drv_sinfo,206] /var/syscfg/config/drv_sinfo1.ini] cSensorName= i2c_id=0
log/v4_19700101_0000.log:00:00:00.275 08 CORAV> loadVideoParam,399] fps=15,gop_multiple_of_fps=2 qualityLvl_t23=2


grep -r -e loadVideoParam  -e cSensorName log/
log/v4_19700101_0000.log:00:00:00.228 09 CORAV> readIni_drv_sinfo,179] cSensorName=sc2337p 
log/v4_19700101_0000.log:00:00:00.228 08 CORAV> readIni_drv_sinfo,206] /var/syscfg/config/drv_sinfo.ini] cSensorName=sc2337p i2c_id=0
log/v4_19700101_0000.log:00:00:00.228 08 CORAV> readIni_drv_sinfo,206] /var/syscfg/config/drv_sinfo1.ini] cSensorName= i2c_id=0
log/v4_19700101_0000.log:00:00:00.231 08 CORAV> loadVideoParam,399] fps=15,gop_multiple_of_fps=2 qualityLvl_t23=2
