Getting Started
Below you will find a getting started guide for the Yi-hack-v4 firmware.
NOTE: The following method assumes you have already setup your camera using the official Yi app and added it to your WiFi network.
Yi-hack-v4 currently supports the following devices:
- Yi Home 17CN / 27US / 47US
- Yi 1080p Home
- Yi Dome
- Yi 1080p Dome
- Yi 1080p Cloud Dome
- Yi 1080p Outdoor
Yi-hack-v4 is in the early stages of development and the firmware and associated scripts are only available to supporters of the project while it's being tested.
To become a supporter please visit the projects discord channel, make a donation and let @crypto know.
Requirements:
- A computer.
- Micro SD Card and Reader.
- 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: Make sure the file names are not changed and do not contains any file extensions. On macOS use 'get info' on the files and make sure 'don't show extension' is disabled.
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.
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.
