I wish there were a project like OpenWRT for IP based CCTV cameras.

On the back of this, my googling has just revealed the Tapo C200 and maybe my Tapo C210 might have a UART port, serial shell, filesystem, etc available if some simple soldering is performed...

This whets my appetite

@kylegordon Many that I've come across are only configurable with Internet Explorer! Even recent ones.

@gruff That gives me the shivers!

@kylegordon would be nice for smart tvs too

@julesbl oh hell yeah, absolutely. I'm still using my 12yo 50" plasma and fear the day I have to get some LG WebOS powered abomination.

Maybe SamyGo and openlgtv are making some inroads, but having more breadth across the industry brands would definitely be nice.

Think next time I have to replace my TV I'll get a computer monitor and just plug in what I need

@julesbl totally on the same boat. I just kinda wish for a 75" monitor!

Genuinely looking at 75" TVs and ways to hobble them so that their UI doesn't get a say. All my interaction will be through Kodi, as it has been for nearly 15 years

@kylegordon I've been using a 32" TV and a Roku box for a long time now, hardly ever use the built in tuner these days

@kylegordon hear me out: esphome cameras

@Joopd I have two ESP32-Cam modules and they're absolutely dire. The framerate and performance is terrible. I even 3D printed some nice cases for them.

Maybe I got unlucky with my ESP32-Cam modules, but they've put me right off.

Also P/T support still seems to be "glue on some servos"

@kylegordon thanks, I only heard about them, never used it myself.

@kylegordon I built openwrt for a dlink 932.... Zoneminder can be built for openwrt as well. It is a dream of the zm team.
