Thank you for your reply, I can’t find any specific brand, I think this are generic device. The app says m12-T31-1054.

Even the website advert you bought it from? Send us a link.

6

Well it certainly won’t if we cannot even identify the device.

those camera usually running on tuya FW which will be difficult to crack at this moment. Again I hope we will get more detail since aliexpress have tons of those camera/doorbell

My door is automated - if someone approaches, the dogs bark. Highly reliable, never failed.

Hello again, I think it use p2p protocole, I’v found a sticker in the battery bay with a QR code, a UID and something like a password. Taping the ip adresse in the browser return nothing.

Can you share your YAML file. My dog can’t do such automation.

I could use include files I suppose and generate a config for the schnauzer.

I recently took delivery of the same doorbell camera and I am unhappy with the ubox app - it is very shaky and I am unsure how secure it is. I took it apart and have attached a photo of the mainboard with hope somebody could advise us if third party firmware is possible

I’m a new user so only able to upload one image

Seems unlikely.

The Chip on the right says it is an Ingenic T31. It is (I believe) a combination of a MIPS processor and some RISC processor.

At least that will give you something to google on.

The Xiaomi Dafang is based on a T20 and has 3rd party firmware.
