#Preparing the Firmware

Requirements:

1. A computer.
2. Micro SD Card and Reader.
3. One of the above supported cameras.

Format the SD card as FAT place the firmware for your specific camera in the root of the SD card like the example below:

root
│ home_h20
│ rootfs_h20

NOTE: Be sure to make sure the file names are not changed and so not contains any extensions. On macOS get info on the files and make sure 'don't show extension' is disabled.

#Flashing the Firmware

Place the prepared SD card back into the camera and power it on. The orange light on the camera will begin to blink as the firmware is flashed to the camera. After a short time the camera will start correctly and the blue status light should show (if enabled).

🎉 Congratulations you have now flashed your camera with Yi-Hack-v4.

#Accessing the Flashed Camera

You can obtain the camera_ip by looking in your routers DHCP table or use an app like Fing on iOS/Android to scan your network.

You should now be able to connect to the camera via any the following methods:

Method	Details
Web.	http://camera_ip
FTP.	camera_ip
SSH.	ssh username@camera_ip
Telnet.	telnet username@camera_ip

The default username and password are below:

Username	Password
root	(none)

NOTE: If you had previously connected the camera to using the official Yi app you should still be able to access the camera as before.
