  1. Verify which processor your cam has (T31 or T23) by following this video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/e_rv_HYj_28
  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

grep -r -e loadVideoParam  -e cSensorName log/
