FAQ

I can't downgrade the firmware, I follow the instructions but nothing happens.

Thy another SD Card. This actually happens a lot, trying a different SD Card usually solves it.

The RTSP stream is corrupted / stops working after a while.

The RTSP server is still in alpha stage.

You may see some corrupted frames here and there, and the server may stop working after a few hours (restarting the camera solves it). We're working on it, but if a 100% stable video stream is critical for you, then it's still not ready.

I'm worried about security, can I create/modify the [hack] password?

Security is in the roadmap, but still not the primary focus. Right now you'll have to secure the camera by making sure it's only accessible on your private network, and that your network is secure.
