    Well I had plans on livestreaming one of my 5mp Anpviz cameras this week from the beach condo we rent for vacay, but have no idea how to configure Majestic for this. Seems like it would need to know the ingestion address(es) but there's only a setting for on / off and api key. The documentation...

    Dropping in with another update. After feeling like I struck out with the Ingenic T31 board I turned my attention back to the Anpviz IPC-D350W-SE camera mentioned in post #54. Full-res captures are breaking in at roughly 9.2gb per 6 hour session, and when capturing 1920x1080 streams the size was...

    Let me walk that last statement back some. There's definitely something screwy with the h26x encoders and / or Majestic on this Ingenic board. I've yet to try any cbr encoding, but for vbr it seems very unpredictable. Doing short 5 minute snippets at a time, I can get anywhere from 200mb to...

    Update - a bit of tweaking on the minQp and maxQp values have produced acceptable results for the compressed main stream. My guess is the defaults of minQp/maxQp of 12/42 the Sigma branches honor aren't implemented in the Ingenic branch of Majestic. Will have to report back in the morning but...

    My guess is it's not actually a password, more like a custom interrupt key with ctrl and/or shift modifier. The reason I say that is because uboot prompts "Press password in 1 second." Since I already had the nand chip off I didn't waste any time attempting to brute force it. When I do a...

    Update: Had some quality time to spend with the Ingenic board yesterday and today. Seems the OpenIPC problem was just some missing uboot macros, easy to remedy. Several hours of experimenting and tweaking allowed me to find the connectors and gpio pin numbers for the ircut filter and led...

    But will those fit on 8mb cameras? I haven't looked at it in the past several days, but having searched the wiki quite extensively over the past two months I can only describe it as an abhorrent mess. I've spent dozens of hours searching and reading, and this is the first I've heard of that...

    There's not a single day where I get out of bed and think: "how could I completely destroy my personal privacy by dipping my toes into some unknown platform". I do get it, back in the early 2000's I started out upon building a complete end-to-end chat platform that one could spin up on any...

    The point of commonality I was alluding to that you somewhat correctly guessed is that criminals can use either platform with relative impunity. Though that wasn't meant to be construed as the only motivating factor behind their use. My primary gripe with crypto is that the money I have to use...

    I've read up on the background of Telegram - it's not the platform that I'm most concerned with, it's the fact that I have to give out a phone # and put their app on my phone. Sure, I could get a "burner" google voice #, but I'm just not that excited about it at this point. The other aspect of...

    Just to clarify, that's for a bare board without optics, a POE power supply board, a case, IR lighting, etc. I've yet to get the open source stuff running on the Ingenic board because I haven't been able to locate the uart pins, and the NOR flash is 2/3rds shrouded by the SOC heatsink. I have...

    As good as it is, here's a glaring example of why OpenIPC will never achieve the "greatness" it would otherwise qualify for with flying colors (IMO). The 8mp camera board I had high hopes for arrived over the weekend. It was easy to get OpenIPC running on it by physically removing the NOR flash...

    Just to drop an update - I've tested with the Anpviz IPC-D350WSE 5mp turret that I bought on a whim. Uses the SC30KQ SOC and the GC4653 sensor. OpenIPC works on these just fine, the mipi driver supports a max resolution of 2560x1440. Image quality is on par with the price ($40). The UART pads on...

    I wasn't so much soliciting advice on soldering, as warning of the pitfalls of gaining physical access to the serial console / tty on these particular type of boards. It seems most of the Anjvision manufactured boards only have 1.0mm pitch pogo-pin pads for the uart. Others have the uart pins...
