Overview (README.md)
Alternative open firmware for your IP camera
(based on Buildroot)
OpenIPC is a rapidly developing open source alternative firmware for
popular IP cameras from an open community.
Historically, OpenIPC firmware only supported SoC manufactured by
HiSilicon, but as the development continues, the list of supported processors
expands. Today, it also includes chips from Ambarella, Anyka, Fullhan, Goke,
GrainMedia, Ingenic, MStar, Novatek, SigmaStar, XiongMai, and is
expected to grow further.
More information about the project is available in our website
and on the wiki.
Support
OpenIPC offers two levels of support.
- Free support through the community (via chat).
- Paid commercial support (from the team of developers).
Please consider subscribing for paid commercial support if you intend to use our product for business.
As a paid customer, you will get technical support and maintenance services directly from our skilled team.
Your bug reports and feature requests will get prioritized attention and expedited solutions. It's a win-win
strategy for both parties, that would contribute to the stability your business, and help core developers
to work on the project full-time.
If you have any specific questions concerning our project, feel free to contact us.
Participating and Contribution
If you like what we do, and willing to intensify the development, please consider participating.
You can improve existing code and send us patches. You can add new features missing from our code.
You can help us to write a better documentation, proofread and correct our websites.
You can just donate some money to cover the cost of development and long-term maintaining of what we believe
is going to be the most stable, flexible, and open IP Network Camera Framework for users like yourself.
You can make a financial contribution to the project at Open Collective.
Before your first patch, read CLAUDE.md (also readable as AGENTS.md). It explains
how the tree is put together, which changes belong in this repository and which belong in another
one, and how to check your work — for you and for any AI assistant you code with. The review
standards themselves are in best_practices.md.
Thank you.
